hah me too. Had Si when I was 19. Got my M235i when I was 23. Now onto M2, but I am 25, so got cheaper insurance?

Si was a fun car.

Congrats man, enjoy it. I bought a 2000 M Roadster in 2005, I just turned 20 a few days before hand. I will turn 31 around the time I get my M2.

Hmmmm, you should try a light and nimble car someday. I used to own a Lotus Elise that had been on a bit of a diet and setup by a race show, It was around 1800 pounds. It made a Miata seem big and heavy.

Have fun!

yes! my brother was driving behind me the entire time and he kept saying how wide and low it was. it really does look different in real life.

I'll give you one point of constructive criticism on your video...The camera was out of focus on some of the shots, but other than that it was well done.

Good luck on Step 1 too!

Thank you for the tip, i either need a better lens or learn how to fix that focusing problem. And thats awesome you're getting it xpel tho, i will probably get the front of mine wrapped too.

Thank you everyone for your kind comments. Its great to see how there are so many people on this forum that can relate to medical school! So awesome!

AndoOKC · 04-13-2016, 12:15 PM

I was driving a 99 Honda prelude through medical school, residency and fellowship. got my first job out of training and got a 2013 Nissan GTR. talk about an upgrade. sold that now getting my first German car (M2 obviously). good luck with step 1!

thank you and that is awesome! good luck with the m2! its a beast!

I am glad to hear that some of you younger guys are driving enthusiasts - it seems like many millennials aren't as fascinated by cars as earlier generations...as long as there are still enthusiasts with disposable income and the desire to purchase, we can expect to keep getting cars like the M2.

Congrats to the OP, and I was seriously wondering if you were old enough to drive - that's how young you look. It's a good problem to have once you get older in age.

Pol · 04-14-2016, 03:07 PM

Conrad Jady! Nice video.

Aha, Im 23 if anyone was wondering.

congrats to your new purchase!

Those headlights are so mean!!!

NYAWE60 · 04-15-2016, 09:50 AM

Beautiful car, enjoy it in good health. That's the only color I'd buy it in. Then again I'm totally biased with white cars

Fraser · 04-15-2016, 09:52 AM

BTW, the M2 is my present for putting up with 4 years of medical school at my age.

Exactly! 50 and don't have mine either. Downsizing period that includes new M2 with rims to follow. I know contradictory

Haha almost the same story here. 16 - Si, 22 - 135is, next year 26 maybe M2 or M3.

Damn, this thread is making me feel old.

pruettfan · 04-15-2016, 01:55 PM

I don't know how to set one up but it would be interesting to set up an age poll. BMW built this call to target a younger demographic, sounds like they have been pretty successful.

Jaymax85 · 04-15-2016, 02:01 PM

M2 in med school Jesus ... I hope u have no med school loans!!!!!
