I wouldn't do it for 2 reasons. 1) If you don't have a DD don't do it, there are some places/neighborhoods you just don't want to take a Ferrari. 2) The 360 was rather underpowered imo, a problem that has been resolved in the newer models. Plus I don't really like the styling of it, 430 is much sexier.
I would do it for the following reason. 1) It's a fucking Ferrari.

to the OP, why are you being so racist and cocky in the first place. i don't see any post in this thread that says that chinese people don't have money. and plus, if you were actually rich enough and could afford a much much much nicer car then 1) you would not brag about it. people always get defensive about something that they don't have and want really badly. 2) you wouldn't buy a e9x in the first place!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
plus, a lot of people around here have a lot of money (much more than you). i believe i saw a post of a person's car and there was also a picture of his dad's BRAND NEW ferrari. Now, to your question. IF it is your 2nd car get the ferarri. if it is your first then get the BMW. |

As privately stock investor and Realty Estate Business. Both of them allow me to have a tax ride off. All i need to do is save reciept from restaurant, Gas, telephone, car, and other expense that i cant think on top of my head right now... By the way, Im 33 years old graduated from University Southern California with Computer Science ( BS) and Business Management(MBA). Im pretty sure i know how to manage my money. Im not stupid enough to blow my money away.. ANyways 335i e90 that i have is excellent, However, It have alot of electrical issue and Mechanical issue.. I cant have my car in the dealership 10 days out of 30 days for little issue. My time is money. As Realty Estate Investor, you need to drive nice car, You can convince people to buy it from you.. NO ONE want to do business with you, if you are driving Domestic car or average joe's car. HINT HINT.."each of my property over 3 million dollars."

I dont have rich parents or family that give me the money and say here go buy yourself 335i.. I work my butt off since i was 16 years old until now. NOW im turning 34 soon, alot of years to earn your money instead spending your money on Hooker, Drug, Alchololic, drag race, Vacation every year to other country or to Hawaii. If you earned 1000 dollars per month, you spend 300 dollar month on food. the rest you put it at the bank to collect interest or you do extensive research on Stock Market company.. or invest in 401K... I have been doing it since i was 16 years old. I put all the money i have saved it in a saving account. by the age of 18, i have enough to put it in a 401K account. Plus company i worked before have 401K benefit. if you do put each pieace together, you basically make your money work for you NOt you work for the money.. "American custom seem to be YOu work for the money instead Money work for you." |

well, why the heck on earth you are bragging about your money???? do you see Bill Gates bragging about his money. no, why? because he has it. do i see you finding the necessity to state that you have 3 million dollar property (which who knows how much of it is actually paid by you and as a mortgage)? yes. so i am sensing some insecurity in you in regards to finanical matters. and i didn't get a 335i, i got a 325i about 2 years ago. |

Im not really braggin.. i just making a statement. I m prettty sure Bill gate brag when he a millionair .. Maybe to his friend. .. As for the mortage statement, you purchased a home. You let someone rent it out for 2 years or more. 1st renter pay for your mortage. 2nd you can get tax ride off. 3rd you can offer vacation package. If you have classic or different from other people home, you can invite hollywood movie company to shoot their stuffs over at your home.. They will pay you over 25000K-50K for like 1 month or 2 months Two years pass, you can sell the house without having capital gain tax . You can also pull your equtity out and transfer it to your new homes. You can use your equtiy as part of your downpayment. For your information. good neighborhood in SoutherN California(beverly Hill. you can someone rent it out for over 3000 to 4000 per month |

yea, but the capital tax exemption is only for 1)if you are the primary resident of that house 2) it only applies to 500 thousand dollars and on the rest you have to pay the tax.
so how can you have tax ride off on a house that you don't reside in, unless you are lying to the state of california. i don't know where you purchase these "properties" but alhambra isn't that high class to have a 3 millino dollar house. |

damn it seems every recent thread has turned into an argument in one way or another.
1. Bill Gates doesnt brag about his money BECAUSE HE DOESNT HAVE TO. He's the 2nd richest guy in the world, why does he need to brag about it. 2. who gives a shit what the OP does with his money. He asked for our opinion and we should just give it- no need to doubt him or question his motive/ financial status. To the OP- how are you writing it off for tax? From what I understand it's very hard to write it off because you cant just write the miles to and from work as that is considered cost of living (or doing business). Just curious... |

with the OP's spelling and grammar I'm surprised he can even afford a BMW
even if it is a tax "ride" off I really hope he was not born in this country, if he's only been here 3-4 years that's a pretty good level of english. |

well you can calculate Point A to Point B (distance) x the gas price.. = tax exemption.When i said a to b meaning that you have to meet your client from the office or their office to destination. You can also save the reciept from taking your client to eat lunch or dinner, or Power lunch. It would considering a business expense. Of course the IRS would not how much you drive or expensive because when you take your client to do power lunch to make a sale or conduct business the mile cant be calculate into the equation.. Some client live far and some live close. You can also save your Fly Ticket expense. For Traveling places around the world, all you need to do convert your business into INCOrp.. There are so many loop hole in laws to do business. What do you think Rich folks get richer under Mr Bush adminstration. Just have good Accountant do that for you and Manage your INcorp.. Just pay them like 400 per months fee.. |

Im sorry But. my parent only have 2 children. My brother already married and moved out. he got his own place. He cant stand them. Im the oldest of two children. i have to take care of them because they are over 60 years old. Beside asian family are totally diff from american or mexican family. We have super bond Family. When your parents lived in alhambra over 25 years, they want to live and die here. I m just want take care of them until they pass away. I did offering them to stay over in HAwaii or SF. They want to stay and die here in alhambra. Their first pieace of american dream is in alhambra. If you are raised or born in america, you would not be understand family value.

why are you insulting other cultures? no need to get defensive, what makes you think that Americans and/or Mexican (and what the hell does Mexicans have to do with this argument???) don't have family values? You're going way off tangent here.

This is getting rediculous.
So to the OP, are you gonna go out and blow 100k or what?! I want to see what your going to go buy. Like a stated earlier, You should look at a 9997 Carrera 4S. My father just ordered one and its just in the price range your looking for. Plus, its a new car, comes with a warentee (sp), and is a lot more practical than a ferrari.
