I'm spending about 2% of my gross monthly income on gas, taxes, and insurance for my 128i cabrio. I bought it with cash so I have no payment or lease expense. I have a SUV too but taxes, my biggest expense, is a lot less on it. So maybe 3% of my gross for both.

Maybe I should remember this math the next time somebody wants to assume I drive a 128i because that is what I can afford.
