You also need to factor in risk obviously - stock market may average better than x%, but there are no guarantees.

Still, there is no part of me that can imagine paying a monthly car payment. I took a very short term loan from my dad in 2003 to buy an E36 M3, but that was because I was just coming out of school and had nothing.


If you put your money in the stock market expecting an automatic return you're gonna get fleeced. Of course I'm not addressing you Nick, just the general public.

I found a 2010 335i for sale.

Private party
$35,000
15,000 miles
sport package
Corsa Axleback Exhaust
black with brown interior
WARRANTY THROUGH 2016 cus of CPO, and a few other things.

I think I will get it. I will probably just pay cash. The way I spend my money, I do not want to handle payments. I do not like having to pay attention to details, and I like having a totally worry-free budget.

I also like knowing that other than the money that goes towards my one payment, my mortgage, the rest of the money is all mine.

I think I will probably mod the car, simple stuff that won't fuk the warranty. Intake, reflash that can be reversed. Done.

335i review

Very nice car. Quiet. Smooth. Kinda slow but chip should help.-Not nearly as visceral or raw as 135. I already own two miatas tho.

I can tell that this car is begging for big downpipe a d exhaust. Sorry bby not yet. Fun to drive tho. Power curve is pretty good.

Interior. Very cushy n plush. Makes me feel good about myself and my personal success. That is what i wanted. Thanx forum. Not exactly super snazzy at all but with a little bodykittery and aesthtics stuff car should look tre nice

Oh. And i paid cash bitches.

It's no different if he finances the full amount and then wrecks it. Except that he'd be on the hook for $35k plus the relevant finance charges and interest.

The bank isn't going to just let you stop paying on the loan simply because you wrecked the car.

Sedan is a better looking car IMHO, looks more balanced. Coupe doors are like 16 feet long, but it's a nice car.

JB4
Downpipe
Meth injection
Done.

That will get you a bit over 400/400.

If you're not retarded, RWD works just fine in the snow.

Hell, my 99 leaves a 3inch high path in the snow where the frame pushes the snow out of the way, but I just slap on my 14 inch blizzacks on stock NA wheels, and I ride out like a baus.

Tune-JB4 or Cobb, cobb is easier if you ever take your car to dealer. JB isn't hard to install but it takes some time to swap it in and out and is cheaper
Just get some cat less downpipes, a better FMIC and maybe an intake.
Forget the meth and spend it on having VAC or someone install an LSD(in your pumpkin-your diff has the ring gear welded to the carrier) you can even get an OS Giken if you want.

As for wheels EVERYONE makes wheels for these cars. I still say get some baller Forgeline or HRE wheels so someone can steal them. Schnitzer,BBS, Beyern and others make pretty decent wheels. Enkei or cheap TSW/Rotas would be fine

What size wheels? 19x9" all around? Any offset recommendations? I am trying to avoid doing days of research :(

Also, won't turboback and fmic void factory warranty?

I would like cheap wheels :). I think black or hyperblack.

Nice work, Min. I dig it. Paying cash for a car like that is baller status too. That alone should be enough to pick up a 7 at the bar; maybe more when she sees the (eventual) dyno chart on your Miata.

If you are okay with cheap fake wheels, hard to beat the look of the LM reps. Buy them 5 at a time so that you are set if/when you bend one. Some of the reps are better quality than others, so do your homework on the BMW forum.

The bank isn't going to just let you stop paying on the loan simply because you wrecked the car.

I never said he was off the hook. But at least if its financed he has the money in his pocket. IMHO the finance charges and interest outweighs that. Besides, if you have 35k to shell out for a car on the spot, you think those charges matter much? No. Its just poor money management. I'd rather keep 30 grand in my pocket for a rainy day while making monthly payments from that pool or spending it on something else because chances are i'll sell the car before I pay out the entire 35k to the bank.

More power to him obviously and for the record I don't like counting other peoples money, but if you flash the cash I will.

I think you're going way overboard with this whole "don't buy it cash" thing. Seriously. Its not bad at all. He has the cash, can obviously afford the car, doesn't worry about payments or throwing away extra cash in interest, etc. Itd be a different story if this was his "life savings" and he barely scraped the cash together to make this happen, but it def doesn't look like it.

That came out wrong. I didn't want to imply they wont. I wanted to imply it will take time. Never actually going through a payout process of this magnitude, I assume a total loss would take longer than a minor fender bender.

I hear you bro. I am just voicing my opinion, its his money to spend and more power to him for going out and doing it despite the naysayers. I am just saying, their are smarter ways of doing. Just because you have the cash doesn't mean you need to just drop it all in one place. That's all. Again, its his decision and his alone BUT... thats my opinion.
