Owning a 1M for driving OR investment is really, really silly. The main "valid" reasons for ownership are status or collection. That's it.
If you want to drive that car get a 135i with much greater marginal utility, or for 1M money, ridiculously higher performance. Seriously, do you know what $50K+ can do to a 135i, including the outright purchase of the car? Here's a list:
--Modify track and geometry to match or exceed 1M specs
--Modify with much better dampers than 1M
--Modify with much better aftermarket diff
--Change steering rack for tighter, if you're into that
--Ridiculous power. How much do you want?
--Optionally comes stock with dual clutch, blowing man trans out of the water for hard driving
--Money probably left over for other stuff, depending on how extravagant you went on the foregoing
Oh and if you want to invest long term look at the stock market. |
Say what? Owning it for status? Are you serious? It has virtually 0 status. Its an inexpensive 9 year old bmw.
Owning for driving is silly? Is this a troll post? It is a blast to drive, more so than a 135i. And not everyone wants a modded car or needs to save a few pennies buy pimping out a 135i.
