A good kid would conserve anyways. I do so, even though my parents pay for a lot of the stuff (including the wheels on my X3 :eek: ). I always feel a bit guilty splurging too.

^Guilt. Exactly!

Not to mention, are your parents making the best decisions? I wouldn't buy my kid a car that quick, ever. It's just unnecessary. I would hesitate before pulling the trigger on a "standard" 335xi, much less one with a Vishnu chip.

I would have taken a car like that in a heartbeat at that age, but even with the drivers education the OP has had he is still very young and bound to make a few dumb decisions in a car as fast as a 335i, let alone with added boost. Be careful with it.

I here that RR is coming out with a new smaller model, maybe next year you can trade the BMW for the RR or the new 7.

^Don't encourage... Why does he need a 7, or even worse, a Range Rover? Or were you joking? I don't even want a car that big.
