I was a rocket scientist, an aircraft design engineer after that.

Been in telecom for a long time at this point in various roles. I'm currently doing engineering and project management for high density WiFi network deployments (stadiums, corporate, education).

Hahaha appreciate man and yeah 1000% not the best financial decision but idrc im hitting my investing/savings goals and legit don't spend money on anything else except my one hobby of cars.. living at home with the parents also does help 😂 but yeah made the active choice that having an m3 and moving out later vs wasting the money to rent a place rn was better imo

To be fair buying an M3 isn't a good financial decision for anybody

But man respect to be able to make it happen at such a young age. I'm about to turn 37 in a week but the M3's been a bucket list car for me ever since I was in my early 20s, so it's been a looooong road.

Although I've been waiting 9 months so far for this car... if you think about it I've been waiting over 15 years for it.

Skimming through the other thread, here are the common ones I saw

1. Software
2. Engineering
3. Medicine: Doc’s, Nurse, Pharmacists
4. Small business owner
5. Retired from a good career

That's still so hype man! Seriously congrats to legit anyone getting this car it really is an amazing machine that ik for many of us means more then just getting a car but a prideful sense of accomplishment! My biggest battle now is car parts or ring for the gf. I already know the answer I'm going to get since I'm asking in a forum called BIMMERPOST 😂

Dang...you really are balling
Car>House
Mods>Ring for GF

Live it up, getting engaged at 22 is still too early. Put that car to use and enjoy ur youthful life and then settle down. You made the right choice here

Anything to do with tech or finance. My engineer friends tell me about how nice their work setting is. Free food, weekends off, being able to work remotely, even free alcohol! The most we get at work is maybe some free coffee when we're short staffed lol

[435toM3]

PGA Golf professional, and yes the underpaid job doesn't pay for the car! Had BA& BS with Computer science and Statistics. But couldn't find a job 2 years ago at the time I graduated (pandemic hit) so…

[munja]

Software engineer, mid 30s

Im waiting on the m3 and still debating whether i should stick with my m2c.
