Why are people wondering how a cop can afford 335i, is that relevant to the story?

I think it IS relevant, to some extent. If the kid in that 350Z would have known (or have guessed) that an off-duty cop COULD have a 335i as a personal daily driver, he would probably have kept his big mouth shut.

This was a perfect story, and I support the officer's actions 100%. It is embarrassing that they had to close the original thread because of backlash.

It was an excellent story with a great outcome. As someone had stated in the thread, this was one of those cases where the police were in the right place at the right time.
As to traffic cops, some are a bit overzealous with their duties, but I think this guy summed it up well by embracing the spirit of the law, keeping things within reason. The kid definitely deserved what he received, and will forever remember this christmas season.
This here just seems like bait...

Great story.
So, how is it unacceptable that an officer can own a 335, but no one questions how an 18 year old kid can have a 350z? At least it's a safe bet the cop's mom and dad didn't buy the car for him.
BTW - LEO salaries can be as low as $25k and as high as $100k. All depends on location, seniority, if they're union, overtime, or a whole host of other things. But ask yourself this: how much money would it take for YOU to face a loaded meth-head with an AK in a dark house at 3 a.m.?

i dont get the point... if kid knew it was a cop, it would harass some other law abiding citizen who could do nothing about it? How is that better?

I didn't say it was necessarily better.....only relevant to the story (and thread topic) at hand. And, if he had challenged another 335 owner who was not a cop, that person just may have been dumb enough to race him.

It is because there is a lack of them so they get so much overtime and the worse the location the higher the hazard pay is. Garage workers also make low six figures.

honestly I think the cop new he would have gotten his *** spanked and was embarrassed so he had to flash his badge so he could feel like god and get an erection. i wish i pulled up next to him in the CLK even if he called to his friend. i already know i can out run a cruiser. why did you have to put on your bullet proof vest? oh to feed your ego. sorry forgot cops are egotistical bastards for a second.
