I love my life, dude - I'd not wanna have it any other way. Truth is, when I left my hometown in Russia, my mother was one of the most prominent criminal attorneys in town and I pretty much had the entire career lined up for me - which I decided to forego and come to the States and make it on my own. Sure, it has been tough at times, but I can firmly say I did it myself and no one handed me anything 
I think, you're kinda like that too, Krozi - otherwise, I'd not be talking to you about this 
I don't think Krozi's spoiled... just my opnion.
Dude, one thing you gotta get straight: YOU CAN NEVER BE TOO AMBITIOUS. ALWAYS TRY TO BETTER YOURSELF. Whenever you think something's too hard to do - that's EXACTLY the thing you gotta do.

Nice stories...Mine is simple...I got in an argument with my fiancee, got pissed off, went to go buy a Corvette, and remembered I do have a little girl, so the 2 seater was out of the question...IMHO, E60 best looking 4 door out there period..so I went over to BMW and pulled the trigger...Should've done more research, I would be driving a v8...lol..Anyways I'm happy!

at first i was looking for 335 coupes and couldnt find anything in my area. went to a local bmw dealer test drove black 525's. i was set on black, went in and talked numbers and the dealership was trying to screw me for 8k over blue book. i laughed and walked out. Next day drove to a dealership 45 mins away. Walked on the lot, saw my alpine white sitting there. Went in, talked numbers, put 15k down, financed the rest through the dealer. refinanced 4 months later and got a low rate of 4.85%. Will save me over 2k over the life of the loan. Plan on paying it off within 2 years because i dont have a early term penalty.
Im very happy with my dealer but from here on out i will be shopping on a forum like this. there are tons of awesome deals in the classifieds.

I wasn't really planning on buying a BMW. One night, finacee got an accident and I persuaded her to buy a new car and she said she wanted a BMW. So, next day we went to Longbeach BMW, she purchased e90 335. Then I saw this 550 and asked how much is it. Then Bam!!! I can afford, so both of us went home with smiles up to our ears that night. Not knowing that there are M versions I was very happy with my car. A year later, both of us upgraded to M.

I fell in love the first time I saw the E36... way back in 1992; ever since then I always wanted my own BMW.
Fast forward 16 years and I could finally afford to buy my dream car...got it for my 31st birthday, one of the most awesome days of yet. A gift that keeps on giving
Love my Beemer

Your story is the living of the American dream. This still is one of the few places in the world that people can come to with nothing -- no money, no connections -- but ambition and make it. For all of the USA's flaws, this is one of the best things about the country. In many places, if you don't have massive connections, you can't get anywhere.
