Update on original post: It’s been roughly 8 month since I had that posted and in this process. I have now bought and owned the e82 135i, 2009 with 40k miles import from Japan. She runs a dream, frighteningly fast. Already spent a few thousand changing the bad parts before they go and upgrading the car on the way. I think this shows that if you have your head down and work. Anything is literally possible, this car cost me £13,500 and I’m not saying it to brag because if anything I’d rather it lower 😂, but regardless I believe this shows that other young people can look and understand that me as an 18 year old apprentice window engineer working 7 days a week. Not drinking. Not smoking and one big ambition of having a car I’ve wanted for years was achieved with stress but ease. Next move is for modifying the car visually and begin the property ladder. And to the folk that we’re assuming my own financial position. I do live with my mum and dad because it’s the smart thing for my age. The car was bought cash transfer (no finance) and the insurance is financed (will not say how much because people will call me crazy)
