So, F10 drivers, what is your gross income?

That comment is really inappropriate and does not belong in this forum.......




This is the F10 Forum and your Obama money should be put towards a new 5 Series

Thread has deteriorated quickly...

Maybe all of you bringing up President Obama can join us in Politics forum and enlighten us?

As a e39 owner I used to make 45 k a year doing entry level IT. Bought the car in 2007 for $15000, spent 6k more to get it up to spec. Got laid off in 2012. 26 now might move to Dominican Republic to do agriculture on grandparents farm. Chickens, cows, bulls, river in the backyard. NO property tax but ill be walking around barefoot. If I land a gig like f10 caking 60k I'd get a 2012 535 red with beige 10 years from now when the maintenance and computer DIYs are all ironed out.

I agree with some previous comments - the f10 drivers I know personally are either trust fund babies, retired, in the black market, or have skills few have and have high salaries. One guy i know lost a leg won a lawsuit and ordered a GT model for 80k. Most people I know work two jobs at Walmart and Starbucks and still don't have enough to keep up with inflation let alone a f10 they can't redline up before getting to the store down the street. And even though its heavier overpriced has steering and throttle question marks with no oil dipstick and is highly computerized- it's still my favorite car. The body and interior is immaculate, as far quality build we"ll find out soon when they start clocking more than 50,000 miles. Europe is still picky about recycling plastic so I'm sure they"ll be a market for the cooling system.

If I was you I'd stick with IT and build on those skills, you can clean up because just like with doctors and other professions that have unique skill sets, someone will always be sick, and someone at some corporation will always be computer illiterate

And not all "trust fund" people are bad

Sounds like the makings for an F10 owners poll. I will claim rare skills, but I would prefer retired.

Well if we're claiming I'll claim trust fund, but would prefer unique skill... Although my work as a male stripper/escort could possibly qualify me for a unique skill.

The DR is an awesome place ....... do IT for a big bank like Popular there?

A poll would be good - would keep it anonymous. We could send it to BMW. lol

Poll would be great

and I don't have a trust fund

just hard working at my business to support my family and the government

Well, blush, let's just say I'm thinking of buying this:

but I'd need 11 more cars first.

1 Bed, 2 Bath but a 12 Car Space Garage.....a no brainer for a bachelor.

Blush 2... I have a unit in one of these....

Screw the apartment, just buy and live in the garage!

But maybe I'm just a bit on the conservative side. I never even considered buying any german car when our family income was less than 200K, and we didn't even have our daughter then. Our cars then were a 2009 Acura TSX (my wife's) and a 2005 CR-V.

Kind of depends on where you live. Also, depends on leasing vs buying. If everyone had to outright buy their f10, there would be a lot fewer f10 drivers.

But, do you have a Ferrari-themed 12 car garage??
