Anyway, the 135i IS BMW's starter car, it's the cheapest car they make. The 3 series isn't that much more expensive than the 135i. The 135i starts off at $36,675 with no options and the 335i coupe starts off at $43,025 while the 335i sedan is $41,125. I don't call $5,000-6,000 to be much more when comparing cars and anybody that can afford a new BMW would cross shop the 1 series and 3 series depending on what they were looking for.
Huh? I'm sorry but this statement is very pretentious and doesn't make sense.
My cut off point for a Z is $36k. Not because I can't afford more. Its because I want to be financially responsible. I have a mortgage. I bought my altima out right for 29k.
And now I sold my g35 for 24k. Paid 9g's in bills and now I'm saving the rest. Hopefully I will make the whole 36k by the rollout of the 1st 2010 models. I can easily take that money. Put a down on a porsche. Which would be about the value of both your cars plus an extra $10k. Then make 60mo payments of $750. But I can get a z. Have 90% of porsche performance and save 40k which could be 3 years of state university for my kid when he's old enough for college?
Everyone has a reason for making puchases the way they do.
And its a beautiful thing u can make a 45k purchase for your 16 yr old daughter without thinking about it. If it were a perfect world we all would. Honestly I have a hard yime believing you though considering u drive a car sub 42k n ur truck is 4 years old n is worth about 16k right now. Ur 08 g35 can easily be had right now mildly used n loaded at $32k

But reality is. Some people. This is the closest they will get to a dream car.
Some will have to settle for 4banger genesis coupes. Some will have to buy used 01 preludes n modify those. To be there sports car. Many in our country just can't even afford a sports car.
So count your blessings that god blessed you with so much.
And show love for the Z on the z forum. Let's not arrogantly brag about our financial status whether real or ficticious?
