Hi Everyone,

As you all are BMW-owners with far more experience and knowledge than I have, I was hoping to ask for your opinions or advice on becoming a 2 series owner. Since purchasing a BMW is a relatively major financial decision for me, I'm conflicted as to whether I'm being too hasty or if I should let myself enjoy life a bit. I've asked older family members for their thoughts, and the responses were that I'm too young and only want a BMW as a status symbol. However, none of them really find the joy in driving like I do, which is why I'm turning to this community.

For some context on my financial situation, I graduated from college about a year ago and have been working in a major west coast city. My income is low to mid $100k depending on my bonus, but I've been saving around $1k per month on just my base salary. I currently drive a GTI, which I do really enjoy.

I'm hoping to buy a CPO M240i for $30-35k.

I'd really appreciate any thoughts on my situation or love to hear how you decided to make your first major car purchase.

Thanks everyone.
