That's the best age to buy one if you can swing it. Older people like me are buying them because we're trying to feel 26 again

Now that I'm older it's harder for me to justify but when I was in my late 20s I bought dumb cars too. My 25th birthday present to myself was an absolutely loaded S197 Mustang GT. Not quite as crazy as the M2C but not that far off either.

Sure, except I drive way better at 47 than I did at 26.

34 here. Have had quite a few M cars in my 20s and then stepped into Porsche GT3 territory with a 992 GT3 set to be delivered in November. I do intend to get an M2 for more of a daily vehicle.

Congrats! That would be the dream, but by the time I step into that territory it's probably gonna be a GT3 hybrid haha

So it got me thinking...how old are the prospective G87 buyers.

I am 46.

I'm 25!

Bro honestly hahah, I've got an F82 and see this kids on TikTok at 18 with G8X and I'm like what the fuck

[HiFi]

41. Have had lots of cars on the way starting with a Nissan 200SX S15 when i was 22 and ending up with OG M2, with 335i E92 M3 and F80 M3 in between. Will either go an M4 manual or M2 Manual (likely M2) and probably wont sell that car and just add cars from there. also have a Cayman GT4 on order which is why i am leaning more towards M4 unless the M2 is very differentiated driving experience. One thing i loved about the OG is how raw and engaging it felt to every other ///M at the time

I’ll do you one better. I just turned 21, and I can just finally go to bars… My career choice allows me to buy this straight off the bat.

SDE 200k New Grad

One of my friends is 20 and has a g80 m3c xdrive. SDE too.

Another one of my friends (21) is considering a m5, another friend (19) an i4 m50.

We’re all in the big tech workforce btw.

I like to think that we’re the new targeted demographic (Gen Z), the amount of posts here showing more mature people getting into Ms seems skewed since this is an old platform for sure, not many young people use forums. Our new Gen is honestly the new silent generation, we exist on discord, Reddit, and Instagram… You kinda don’t realize it yet but we are populating big tech and making the big bucks. I predict that’s why the new g80s are so polarizing… to cater to the new Gen of consumers. Like me.

Those 18 yr olds though, that’s daddy’s money.

I promise you 80-90% of M buyers are 30+.

I have to disagree; the fugly grilles are the #1 reason followed by the fact it's a land yacht and weighs a fuckton more than the F series.

I bet it sucks to work at BMW M today. They give them these bloated cars which seem to be aesthetically designed to look like mutant rejects and the poor bastards at the M engineering team are suppose to give these steaming piles the M treatment. All things considered, it's commendable what they've been able to do with such a platform like the G80/2. I just can't help but think how many more cars they'd be selling if they weren't so ugly, so fat and so huge. It's so depressing.

Its funny you called it a "land yacht" because I saw an M4 for the first time at my local independent dealer and I thought that it was a pretty big car. I thought it was just me so I asked my wife if she felt it was big and she agreed too. I think it is roughly 190 inches long...thats big. My current car is about 185 and I want to get into something smaller than that.

I mean I suppose, we can afford it. My heart is on the track, but my finances come from my git contributions.

I mean think about it we are the generation that grew up with IPhones, CarPlay, and dct cars. Manuals are fun, but refined speed and quicker lap times is even more fun.

Besides I think it's better to market cars to a more affluent gen z. Get a fast car while you're young we always say.

[LivingInSalt]

Gen Z will likely be the first generation to emerge worse off financially than their parents. Good for you though.

Agreed. Given how many ppl have seen the car in the flesh, surprised nothing else has come out
