While I also love the M340i there's def other options like a first gen M4, EVOX, maybe a Lexus ISF, that will be about half the price 20-35k. Great car either way and I wish you luck enjoy it!
Bro hats off to you CNA is not an easy job. I only did that for two years and that was it. You literally get sh*/ed on by everyone. When i was 22 and doing that job i bought a 14 Cls 63s AMG, that I still have today. Now I am 25 and just recently bought an 19 X3 M40i and its so nice. I use the Cls as an weekend car. The best part about the B58 is their is so much information on the internet to DIY the maintenance that it will save you in the long run.
Nice, I’m in the same boat. 21 year old senior in college but thinking about going into nursing (16 month absn) dope seeing another black man in nursing. Super into personal finance and I work part time in car sales. Awesome video. I got a 07 lexus is 250. But looking at Acura Integra, lexus is 300 ‘21.
Hey man congrats on the car it looks great. I am in a similar position to you, I’m 23 and just graduated college and got my 2021 M340i like a month or 2 ago. I literally got it for the same reasons and around the 48k price that you got yours at. Shit is crazy man, sick ride though!
Hey man awesome video! That’s crazy you’re able to work 2 jobs AND go to school AND manage to save $10K as a down payment AND you’re barely legal drinking age! 👍 Very impressive indeed! Totally agree with pretty much everything you said in the video. People who aren’t into cars will criticize you for buying an expensive luxury car but life is full of contradictions and spending this much on this kind of car will open doors for you in unexpected ways that driving even a new fully loaded Honda Accord never will. Or even with your previous Q50. You’re going to be able to go to car meets and network with and become friends with people who have money and that will expose you to new opportunities that you wouldn’t have had otherwise. Get your car professionally detailed if you can and since you’re on RUclips you can write that off. Trust me, unless you plan on opening up your own detail shop - as fun as it is - you can easily ruin your paint by using the wrong buffer or letting the orbital head jerk out of your hands and hit your mirror caps because the speed was too high. Too many nuances and things to know about. Spend several hundred dollars twice a year to maintain your car. Ditto with the maintenance. Don’t waste your time on doing your own oil changes and especially brakes. I mean if your 3rd job is as a mechanic and you already have all the skills and tools then maybe? But if you work these 2 jobs and run these side hustles as you said, you obviously have the income already and your time is much too valuable to do it yourself. I WOULD however spend time on the Bimmer forums to research the most common problems and issues with the G20 and B58 motors. You’d be surprised how little your service advisor may know about a problem you encounter with your car. If you want to save money go to an independent shop that preferably specializes in BMW service, or a good competent shop that services all makes. The BMW dealer should only be for warranty work or for prepaid maintenance. And ignore the recommendations for 10K mile oil changes. Do it every 5K. Oh and be sure to use OEM wipers. Trust me, you’ll notice the difference immediately if you use something cheap. Don’t limit your mileage on this car. Hope you don’t have a beater that you use as your daily; pretty much defeats the purpose of getting this car. Enjoy this car as you would without worrying about the mileage. If this car is well cared for with service records, you’ll be fine when it comes time to sell. Just be glad you didn’t get anything 5-series because then you’d pay hell for depreciation no matter how few miles you put on. I’m assuming you went with BMW FS. If you can, I would make $1500 monthly payments. You’ll pay your car off way quicker and, when it comes time to trade in, at the BMW dealer, as long as your DTI is ok, you’ll qualify for a G80/G82 financing thru BMW FS - No questions asked. Lastly, go to an expensive, high end restaurant maybe a few times a month during lunch. Just get something cheap but that’s not too crowded where you can hang out for an hour. Dress nice and bring your laptop and do schoolwork. Tip the valet a few bucks to park your car. You’ll eventually get noticed and exposed to high net worth professionals and business owners. Even better if you can workout at an expensive gym/club.
keep working hard!! q’s last pretty long as long as you take care of them. I would highly suggest looking at 3.7’s only the 3.0t’s always end up having problems
A dude can live with their mom and work mcdonalds and spend their check on a nice car via payments. The real standard of doing well is owning a home... better if home is paid off
Don’t know if you’re aware but one thing I didn’t hear you mention is pre payment penalty. Some dealerships charge a penalty for paying the car off early. Other than that great video! 🔥

Keep your mileage under control to delay pricey maintenance. After the car is paid off, you will have max equity to sell. B58 is a very reliable engine and will serve you well.
$10k down, $700/m payment, $200/m insurance, maintenance, etc. Sir with all due respect while you can make the payments you cannot “afford” the car. This was not a good financial decision but I hope it motivates you to keep working hard and keeping making more money, good luck!

@@scxrpiooo yeah if you put only 6k down your payments would be like $1000. So the best bet would be 10-15k.
