How do you afford your Bimmer? quote:

Well this mainly applies to those that have E90's...

Obviously Calgary is a very rich city, but honestly you all seem to be young guys drivin around E90's and I was just curious how you afford it?

Like lease? or Finance? job? etc..

Btw... is leasing or financing a Bimmer better?

I may not own a e90 or live in Calgary, but heres how I could afford my Bmw. I got my e30 for $2500, when I got $1500 from insurance for a hit & run I was involved in. I saved up the other $1000 by working - that was in January 2007. Now I own an e36 that my dad bought for me & as soon as my e30 sells, I'm paying him back. For the record, I'm only 17.

I had no imagination left and since E90s are like civics now I decided what a heck. Dual income, and no kids = money wasted on cars

BMW and Mercedes that Im aware of. Leasing is most popular with these two manufactures because people dont usually like to keep these cars past their 4 year free maintinace program

I think the E90's in question would have a much higher car payment. I see more of them than I see civics.

haha same.... fuk the kids for now! My BMW is my baby. And I don't have to change its diaper or pay for school...

My fiance and I are 25yrs old. Dual full-time income. Paid off all debt when we sold our condo b4 the market just got shitty and made a killing.

In our case, I think we got really lucky

I always say, there's no use saving up for retirement cuz you will be too old to enjoy it.

By no means am I spending my $$ like I piss. But a little endulgence here and there won't hurt the retirement fund.

Have fun if your young.

This is true, a base 328 is about $43k I think.... and if you put a couple of thousand down, you'd be at about $500 - $600/month lease.
