My birthday is on August 23, and today, my family got together to celebrate. Little did I know they would surprise me with this car. I didn't know they would, I had no clue, but yeah. Long story. Good times. Just thought I'd let you guys know.

wow - very nice....congratulations of course...still...I wonder at such a gift - first of all your folks must be rich....still not sure that its the right thing - giving such a gift...versus a used car or a Scion or some such. I only hope that you understand the value and how special such a car is - one that most can only aspire to and those who can afford it ussually must work hard for it....and I hope you realize that you can't expect always all the good things in life for free....Comment

I knew this was coming and all I gotta say is, you don't know the half of it. First of all, my parents aren't rich. I don't wanna go into detail about what's going on in our lifes right now, so let's just leave it at that. I asked for a used car, and I asked for other cars which were less expensive, but my dad felt told me he got my sister a new car and he wanted to do the same for me. I know how lucky I am to have parents like this and I'm never the type to get something like this and take it for granted. I guess I did work hard for this, because of school and everything, I realllllly don't wanna get into that one. Everything around this car is personal and has meaning behind it, so when people see it, the last thing I want them to think is I got it for free and my parents are rich. I don't expect anything in life to be free, but without people knowing the story behind it, they shouldn't judge.Originally posted by winomanComment

Well then One-way - you must be a very good son - so good for you...enjoy the car...take it up in the mountains and carve up some canyon roads! Did they [BMW] tell you to baby it for the first 1200 miles? Revs not over 4000 and speed under 100 etc...Well - I pretty much followed this - but was able to work out the engine in the Alps pretty well - but I have subsequantly heard that BMW really works out the engines prior to delivery and that they are ready to go. Aparently German police due pursuit and such right out of the box with no adverse affects. Concern would be more for mechanicals/connecting stuff - seating itself properly and so forth. Mostly I think its a way the automaker tries to ensure that nothing (less) goes wrong during the initial period of the warrenty...still can't hurt to work your way into the car a bit - though these Bimmers sure like to go and its so very easy...anyway - enjoy!Comment

They didn't tell me to "baby" it for the first 1,200 miles, but I'm just taking it easy. Every now and then, I get carried away and speed away and do what I'm supposed to do - but not often. I'm too scared to do anything for now, haha. And thanks.Comment
