Most of the people considered "wealthy" would lose their lifestyles within 1-2 years if they lost their source of income, too.

Wealth != income.

Not the owners of my firm, they own so much property, even sold land to one of the top 2 logistics firms so they could setup their distribution center (haha if I told you which co. you could probably google and find my employer, and then see how they make and break little worms like me every day on youtube!), own construction companies, real estate trusts, f*** the stories never end. The CEO told his driver to race someone and they got caught. But it was ok, because wouldn't you know they also donated special German Shepherd Dogs from the Czech Rep. to the state and local police depts. in the town where they got caught. I love all the stories at the co. functions. Makes my getting caught 155 in a 55 so boring in comparison.

repainting a car is a terrible idea. Not that the car doesnt look better in white but once you touch the factory paint the residual plummets.

Guys, grow up. The OP already APOLOGIZED in his first post for not being an english native

I'm seein' some ugly jealousy, just because you can't drop $4.5k on a paint job without thinking about the financial consequences doesn't mean you should give OP crap for having money.
OP came here looking for a "congradulations on the sick car... it looks really nice in white", i don't understand why you guys couldn't just follow with it.
The quality of this forum is deteriorating

also, OP already ignored the first "what do you do for a living" so stop asking.

And why should the OP apologize for not being an english native?
Too many haters.
Anyway, congrats on the purchase and make sure to post some pictures!

So you want to sell the car when the F3x comes out yet you still want to spend 4.5k on a color change? Which will also impact your resale when you do decide to get the new 3 series. That's a very poor decision. I would take any car color on a car that I wasn't planning on keeping for a while. I don't understand?

...Wow. Ok grammar is one thing, you're not a native speaker, gotcha. However, a 20 year old driving TWO cars is quite absurd. Ok, you're family has money...check. No reason to hate on that, its the luck of the draw. I do hope that they have enough to support you for the rest of your life, because if they don't...you sir...are f#cked.

Remember, life never goes as you expect it to. You have plenty of time to play with cars later, once you've accomplished something in life. 40 years later, do you really want to look back and have nothing to show for your life other than a c63 with a new paint job? Monetary items can only bring you so much joy...If I had as much money as you, i'd look into entrepreneurship at a young age. You are very lucky to be in the position that you are. Use it to your advantage...do something with your life.

Since you're parents don't want to instill this in you, I feel that I should..being that I have a few more years than you under my belt. Stop wasting precious time and make something of yourself. You're in the perfect position to do so. Some people would kill to be in your position...

Just saying...

And don't even tell me that you're doing something with your life currently. You have over 2,000 posts just in this forum alone in less than a year...Last time I checked, you weren't an expert on BMW's...or a vendor selling parts...

That's why I don't like browsing car forums anymore; too many people with much more money than me and things that I can't afford... especially those who have won "the luck of the draw."

I guess I'll have to drive my Veyron forever... since I can't afford cars every two years.

BTW this is probably not as absurd... but I know somebody who has a condo (nice place in Irvine) and at least THREE cars (combination of new/used) and NO JOB... and no he didn't win the lotto or anything... guess where the money comes from...

at first i took sides with the OP, but he does seem sketchy now that i analyze it. at first he came off as an honest hard working 20 year old (other threads). i'm starting to think he speaks like that in all languages
