You ordered fully loaded and you paid MSRP?

Whether you buy at 20 or 80, this car will suit every driver perfectly. That's why the 3-series is so awesome.

Modest houses in California can go over $500K. In my area similar houses sell for $250K. So, it makes a BIG difference in what car one can afford based on the market one lives in. $140K in one part of the US may only give you 2/3 the buying power of big items in other parts of the country. Yet, a 3 costs the same all across the US. "Affordability" varies. |

I wonder if $140k is household income. I'm single and jobs where I live generally don't pay that much at my age (35) unless you're a doctor, lawyer or just lucky. But, that's one of the reasons they make leases.

I am 99.999% sure that it is household income... It's $140K for the 3 series and up to $250K for the 7 series. Average for BMW as a whole is $160K household income but as I've said for the 3 series it's $140K. IMHO, you should not pay more than 15% of you monthly salary after taxes on a car payment.

I am sure you will be OK if you put 50% of the price of the car down LOL. That's just not an option for many people so the rule that I put down is what should typically be followed. It's all relative though to the persons situation...

The avg home price where I'm from is in the $150k range (and that may be high)... One of the most affordable cities to live in, so if you make a good salary at a young age without wife/kids, you are more apt to be able to afford a new 3 series. Doesn't hurt that I saved up enough to put almost half of the car down. |

Don't know about North Carolina, but I know we can buy alcohol in South Carolina on Sundays.
