Sure, Sophomore year, I got a co-op position at Halliburton. I've been working there for over a year, and make a decent earning. I currently live with my rents, so I scavenged enough for a decent down payment. Finance over 3-4 years with monthly payments of $900 - I save about $3-400 a month. :-)
Also, my father was nice enough to pay a few month's payments if I don't have enough....but for the most part - I am paying for it. I know some may say I am spoiled, but remember, my father isn't paying for it, I am :-) well for the time being anyways, and I'm fortunate enough that my tuition is paid for, but I have to pay for books

Not into pink leather. Top down, sun shining coral red is pink. No if ands or butts about it.
The M3 has a deeper burgundy leather that I like.
As long as you are happy great.
ps. I hope you got the car for $500-$1500 over invoice. BMW sales are way down and they are heavily discounting if you know to ask, or the dealer will pocket the loot.
I was offered an 08 335 vert for $1500 over invoice a few weeks ago but declined once I saw the pink leather. Plus I found out from another forum that the 3 series hardtop has a defect causing a fluttering noise from 45-65MPH. I will wait for the to sort out the roof and fuel pump issues.

trust me my friend, it's definitely RED
As for the fluttering issue - it's something ALL convertibles have a symptom of...somewhat...I think it's related to the Run flats...some people have changed the tires and gotten some change from the noise but there is a service bulletin out - as for the fuel pumps - it's still occurring but no one can pinpoint exactly why it happens - I think it has something to do w/ the fuel people put in it - but either way, they're in and out in a few days if that happens....
I got it slightly used and WAY discounted...the guy needed to sell the car asap b/c his mother in law just came in and she was blind - had to get an SUV

Wassa, your location says TX but your license plate is CA??
And if that's your house, VERY nice!

Wow, did you drive the car from Cali or have it shipped/driven by someone else?
Where in TX?
Sorry if you covered that already in the thread.

That is sweet ride. I went with the E92. Don't mod it with something you can't afford to break it with. I am going Dinan since I keeps the warranty coverage for 4 years. It is only a tad slower than the Procede anyway.
