Call it an assumption but I was under the influence (from his post) the OP was just that. And I spoke up.. boy was that a mistake.
I'm glad we are on the same page. And no, speaking up was not a mistake because I think we all learned from this post. And yes, some foul language is used here to express disagreement in general, so don't let these things get to you because I know how frustrating it can be. Yes, you may be right your view of the OP, but perhaps he also has a more gentle side of him that we are yet to know. Anyways, I want to take this opportunity to apologize for my first post as I got carried away. I definitively don't think you are an idiot, but I do think that some people in this boeard could begin to be a little less judgmental of AKA "rich kids".

My bad, look I'm going to start taking everything here as a positive comment. Or like constructive criticism. Sorry for slashing back.

Thank you. I know what it's like to be criticized for being young and driving a nice car. I got my first M3 at 22 yrs old and people just hated me! I looked like I was 16. Looking back, I probably should have done other things with that money but I couldn't say no. I worked very hard for that car. The thing is.. I never stepped over anyone.

If you don't mind me asking, your story seems very interesting. How did you go from being homeless to having it all at such a young age? I mean that has to be one of the most fascinating success stories ever. If you don't want to share its fine, but I would love to hear at least the outline of what happened.

The fact that my dad has bought me these cars has been a motivation for me to reach higher and farther so that one day I can buy nice things of my own and provide for my future family. So shut the fuck up with all the "rich kids" hating bullshit; you said it yourself, you grew up poor so have never been in the OP's shoes, so don't judge a situation that you never experienced. And as much as you want to deny it, you are jealous and wish you could have had the same things he had when you were young. It's good that you are making good money now and improved your financial condition, but that does not mean the OP deserves less merit if he does the same.
True, you ARE 20 and your posts reflect that. I honestly can care less if I see a 14 year old driving a Ferrari Enzo. It's not at all about jealousy. You are missing the point. The fact that you are so defensive, swear so much, and think it's about jealousy, shows something else....Kind of proves my point about entitlement and today's youth. But I doubt you can see that. And BTW, I'm 35. Hardly out of touch dude..Also, the OP was an ass. M3 or not.

For example:

The only reason they went after Bernie Madoff is because he is rich! If he hadn't made himself rich by stealing 50 billion dollars they never would have gome after him. The same thing is true of Madonna. Why do people hate her singing? No! Not because they have good taste! Because she is RICH. The fact that she couldn't carry a tune in a wheel barrow has nothing to do with it. This senseless persecution of rich people must end and it must end now!

My misguided capitalistic fat rich cat, you know that the revolution is coming, right (in the next 4 years that is ;-) )??? You don’t want to be on the wrong side of the fence when it does. Now, get with the program and willingly distribute your wealth… Give you car to the 1st crackhead you see and buy ‘em a track day to go with it...

I too know what iti is like to have nothimg. I'll never forget a horrifice incidetn from my youth. My dad's Rolls Royce ran out of gas and he realized he had forgotten his American Express Centurion card in his other (Gucci of course) wallet. Fortunatly we were able to sell the chauffeurs watch to a passerby and get money for enough gas to get us back to our suite at the Ritz. Yes I too know what poverty is like and feel the pain of the less fortunate.


I have already given BOTH of my M3s to crackheads. They have both joined BimmerPost and are regular contributers here. I am not at liberty to reveal their (screen) names but you have probably already figured out who they are.

Now I'm stuck with a lowly 335 but I know that this has made me a better person

lol...are you kidding me??? Unless I am not conceptualizing your overall point here, your basically saying the only reason they went after Madoff was b/c he was rich, and not the fact he destroyed countless people's lives as most of their net worth was completely diminished? Am I understanding you right?

I stand by my statement

"If he had not made himself rich by STEALING 50 billion dollars they never would have gone after him."

Where did you find that picture?
I can't believe how handsome I was back then.

You think M3 haters are a problem? Try a Rolls Royce hater.

I understand man, actually I feel a little intrusive getting into your private life you know. Plus, there are some episodes in my life I wouldn't want to tell anyone. So I guess this will be a good secret to keep. Again, my admiration goes to you.
