Age of people interested/ordering a 1er

Alpine 135 · 03-07-2008, 03:23 PM

probably been posted already, but just curious about the age of people seriously considering buying a 1...or people who have already put money down.

I had a talk with my father over lunch today and we basically discussed the douchebag issue and the..."you're young, what will people think of you rolling around in a bimmer" stereotype. I don't know...just something that has been tugging on my conscience for a while now. As somebody under 30 I feel a bit guilty even thinking about buying/leasing something like this, but it is the M3 i've always dreamed about, at half the price.

There's a sticky poll in the Off-topic section. BTW, I used to own an SVT Contour, don't hold that against me though. ; -)

yep, I think I'm done with American "sports sedans". nice while it lasted I suppose.

That is the previosuly mentioned thread in OT.

I am 24, going to be 25 in less then a month, and I have a 135 on order.

stefan · 03-07-2008, 03:56 PM

I will be 22 when the 135i is in. I don't drive these cars for status... I regret the status symbol. Instead, you might say I'm an enthusiast.

I am 34 and considering a 135i over an E92 M3

bharv2003 · 03-07-2008, 04:11 PM

I'm 25, and probably getting in a little over my head. But you know what they say, if you want something really bad, then work hard for it!!!

27, and have a 135 on order. The same thought went through my head when I bought my WRX when I was 22.

PDZ01 · 03-07-2008, 04:53 PM

40's and proud. This will be my 4th BMW. Had 2 three series and I bought my wife an X3 a few years back. My 135 is in transit as I write this.

atr_hugo · 03-07-2008, 04:54 PM

Dam - I'm as old as all of you put together (well I feel that way from time to time at least ; -).

Thud · 03-07-2008, 05:00 PM

34.... I've owned 3 corvettes, time for something a wee bit different.

I'm not telling; but I got my first SCCA license in 1969. So maybe older ATR_Hugo.

Road Runner · 03-07-2008, 05:45 PM

24, buying it because it's a real driver's car, and I love driving. Not much else to it than that.

jdesclafani · 03-07-2008, 06:03 PM

20 years old....already ordered my 128i....

Stew · 03-07-2008, 06:24 PM

natetgreat · 03-07-2008, 06:36 PM
