On the other hand if someone doesn't make much, they might be self conscious and worried people will judge them.

I'm thinking some who may be a bit over extended may get a bunch of unsolicited advice.

The best way to do something like this is via anonymous poll.

This is what you should do…

Also probably likely to get some fakes (I'm surprised I haven't seen more of this yet...)

I make billions. Not sure the exact amount, you'll have to ask my team of accountants. The M3? Oh that's for my cleaning crew so that they can get to my mansion from their living quarters quicker in case I accidentally spill my Macallan 64 year old whiskey on my 17th century handwoven Persian rug. Life can be a struggle some days....

Goddamnit how'd you get this number again? Thought I blocked your bitchass rocketboy.

I'm assuming this is how rich people talk. I wouldn't know.

Am I wrong to think that online forums have to be skewed towards the "I live eith my parents/i live in a house with 4 other people, but I have a sweet m3 that I park on the street" crowd? Most wealthy people I know don't waste alot of time on forums.

Kind of shocked that people are buying this car with the modest incomes they're reporting here.

So do you fall in either of the above stated categories?

I don't assume anything, I've seen people who are very well off financially post here - just based on their homes/garages and crazy cars.

The common denominator seems to be tech savvy and very much into BMWs. It takes a lot of inertia to take time out of your day to post on a forum- trust me I "spend/waste" a lot of time looking at other people's cars and informative as well as ridiculous posts. We all have to have an outlet.

Lol. I live with my wife, 2 kids, and a dog. Park my cars in my garage; not on the street. Seems like you might have some sort of complex. People on this forum are from all walks of life.

I doubt you know a lot of wealthy people, first of all. Second of all, stop projecting your own issues on here.

I don't make $100K and can afford it fine. You keep showing your a$$ in this thread

modat · 10-16-2021, 05:53 PM

Honestly, At the end of the day it doesn't matter. I'm happy for all of you, regardless of how you pay for the car.

I can't believe we drove around all day, and there's not a single job in this town. There is nothing, nada, zip! Yeah! Unless you wanna work forty hours a week.

Dr. Ice · 10-16-2021, 09:13 PM

Make about $550,000/yr and wrote a check for mine😁

buckybadger · 10-16-2021, 09:47 PM

I'm a millionaire but I only like M2C so far! Which is the cheapest out of all. I know millionaires who drive Accords and Toyota SUVs.. it all depends.
~1-2 million/year…. Into investments.

PS: I buy used.

A lot of people consider salary + available credit = income, the average American has $2,500 in their bank account and the avg. new car price paid is $45K. Basically, you can lease a 80K car as long as you can pay $1500 a month or so.

I remember a couple of years ago when the Fed govt. shut down for a few weeks. There were people in Mercedes and Lexus showing up to get free food in the news. As others have said, it's how people prioritize the money they earn and borrow 🤷🏻

On the other hand there are a lot of people who can easily pay for any BMW for cash if they could. But rates are so low and the market is doing too well to put cash into a car. LOL.

There are all kinds of buyers and people here. You can't tell someone's wealth/income by just a car. IMHO

If you want an ego beating, just go spend some time on Rennlist. 🤑

jwt2440 · 10-16-2021, 11:28 PM

I made my money the old fashioned way. I inherited it.

TrentMeister · 10-17-2021, 05:16 AM

I do a bit north of 200 and have lots of crypto to support my shitty spending habits.

Ruyseart · 10-17-2021, 07:52 AM

My salary is about 81k dollars (70k euros) before taxes. Taxes in here for that salary move around 40%.
And I can easily afford an M4. I think this highly depends on whether you have a house paid or a mortgage, kids, family to take care of, etc.
I find quite interesting how some of you consider a 90k income as "middle class".
Here in Spain it would be high class
