I'm guessing Swamp is late 30s. South is late 20s to early 30s.

Can't forget Lucid. Maybe late 20s.
So your guess is that you're older than me, but younger than Swamp?

Best regards, south

I just turned 31 last month. Congratulation to those who can afford or obtain the new M in early or mid-20s. Respect and treat the new M like it deserves.

Got my first M in '05, 2005 ZCP blck/blck. I am now 2nd on the list for E92 M but might change my mind to E90.



------------------------------------
It doesn't matter what age it takes you to get M just as long as you get one.

I'm 19 and am # 11 on the list at VOB in MD. Still deciding on what color to get, seems like everyone is going for AW

I am actually paying for it all on my own, I work two jobs and go to school and thought I deserved something like this. The only thing my parents helped me do was get my job.

You going to lease or buy?

I am also having a tough time choosing a color... I am thinking Silverstone or Jarez Black.

I'm 22, just graduated from college and got a decent job. I've been driving a hand me down 1989 Camry for the last 5-6 years

I'm looking to get on a waitlist but here in the bay area every dealer I've called is obscure about pricing and want to let the "market determine the price", which probably means a 5-15k markup. I don't mind waiting a few months after release date, but does anyone know of a dealership in norcal that would guarantee MSRP?

I'm 24 right now and will hopefully be buying around the time I turn 26. It really depends on where the U.S. pricing comes in at. I'm in the military and as most know we don’t get paid the greatest but I plan on saving a big chunk of money so I can get the pricing in my sweet spot. If current military pricing holds (doubtful... but hopeful) then my plan should work... if not I guess I will just have to "settle" for a 335i

I'm 36. Damn it... I was taking public transport at 18-21 yrs of age

Not decided on the M3 till I've test driven one... may go for the upgraded C2S instead.

I'm pushing the upper end of the spectrum here at 59. I'm not getting a Buick anytime soon!

My first BMW was a new 1973 Inka Orange 2002, right out of college.

You tell me. You could be older than I think, maybe in the 40's-50's.

Just looking at the data you I could draw a theory that surmises:
  • Lots of people under 21 who like the cars and join the forum but only a lucky few will actually drive one
  • Mid-twenties people just starting their career and some are able to afford these cars
  • 30-33, looks like this is the age people get married and get forced from the car thing
  • 35+ people get their testicles back and do the car thing again
