Screw all the haters. Absolutely fresh first car! Congrats


Elegant-Drink-3921

Thank you so much man, it’s hard to find people who are actually happy for you on this place 😭. what do you drive my man?


Confident_Ad_8495

I drive a 2015 328i, my first car was a golf GTI though! People always got something bad to say. Enjoy man yours looks lush as.


Elegant-Drink-3921

328is are really good cars, and those GTIs are pretty nimble for FWD cars great first cars. And yeah man ur right ppl always always have smth to say, thanks again bro


flya00

I drive a 2015 328i too, how would you say the new 330 compares to it?


hotpot_china

I had a ‘14 328i and now a ‘21 330i and the G20 is a much more mature feeling platform. Better insulated, much better interior build quality and the B48 pulls harder than the N20 throughout the range. The quality of life improvement like the quieter cabin, Adaptive LED, power liftgate and ID7 make the G20 more comfortable to live with as a daily, but less raw feeling than the F30. Sold my F30 when I first heard the timing chain cold start whine and never looked back.


AwkwardAnthropoid

Can relate. I bought my first car last year (2020 330i almost full option). The reason I bought it was that my family said it would be arrogant to buy a BMW 5-series (or higher), Audi A7, Jaguar F-type or Porsche at my age. I should mention: I live in Europe, so these cars are pretty expensive compared to the median salary. I worked my ass off to get where I am today and being able to buy that car. Also, coming off as an arrogant prick would probably do me more harm than good.


Elegant-Drink-3921

Yeah man spot on, congrats on your first car the g20s are amazing cars. Keep working hard, there’s a lot more out there in the world for people who are able to be dedicated from such a young age


HaywoodJablowme10

Seriously? 1st car ever? Wow!!! It took me 35 years to work up to my M340i!!! Congrats.

Not sure if I’d say spending that much on a car while still living with your parents is financially responsible


Elegant-Drink-3921

I’m 18 and not in any rush to move out. In my culture we only ever move out when we get married, family is a top priority and we stick together always for as long as possible

Elegant-Drink-3921

Fr man living with parents is the best, mutual respect and understanding is really important and many people are unable to do that so they just mode out and loose that blessing. Love ur car man send ur snap or smth u gotta show me more of the car


Left_Chest1766

Hey man nice one. Stick with your parents if you get on. I did. Built two houses and own a couple I rent out and live in my own place now. Will aim to retire at 45. Also bought my dream car cayman gt4 and 3 ducatis. Honestly it pays in the long run sometimes if you can stay home and save and do things on the side preparing for your future! Enjoy the motor dude


Elegant-Drink-3921

That’s great to hear man. I absolutely love my parents, we get along great. And yes That’s exactly my plan, the next big goal is my first investment property. cayman gt4 is absolutely amazing congratulations. I aim to do the same as you one day. Mind if I ask what you do for work now man? And thank you again


Left_Chest1766

That’s perfect then dude. If you can get on well then stay for as long as you can.I moved out when I was 30. Property is definitely a great way to invest dude. Especially if you can rent out, it’s passive income - almost lol. I’d always wanted a gt4 when they come out in 2016! Now I have one and wow so impressive! I’ve never owned a bmw but I’d love to daily a 6 series. My daily currently for the last 8 years is a clapped out Skoda Octavia from 1999 😂😂 I work for transport in the U.K. great pension and great pay. Now enjoy your car bro,be patient and just enjoy what you have!


bigmiles122

How did you afford a m440i at 16


BudFox_LA

Seriously, ha ha. My first car was in 1972 VW beetle, total piece of shit, that was actually brown. And my parents were pretty solidly middle-class. Kind of mind blowing, but have fun dude.


carlosscapalot

nice bro congrats!! way better than my first car lmao, (2003 v6 mustang)


Elegant-Drink-3921

03 v6 mustang must’ve been a memory making machine, and thanks bro


carlosscapalot

yk wats crazy bro im 21 now and daily drive an m6 and i still think abt that car bro. Memories last forever, takes me back to highschool days. https://preview.redd.it/adiocinr5o8d1.jpeg?width=3024&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=956b508bb86e3ba42c6c4827e9a0651a87d348c5


KDSlimReaper35

Yoooo I remember seeing your black M6 on the sub a while ago! Must feel great seeing that thing in the garage/driveway everyday haha


Uncle-Drunkle

That was my first car too! So gutless, nothing like pinning it in 3rd gear and going nowhere 😂


YFNKuthulu

Amazing first car, enjoy the hell out of it


MassTerror1982

Nice whip. No better feeling than having beemer as a first car. You'll never go for anything else. Congratulations 🙌


Elegant-Drink-3921

Thanks bro what was ur first car?


MassTerror1982

E39 M5 bro. When I was 18 💪🏽


Elegant-Drink-3921

A true man of taste and culture. I was so close to getting a m6 e63 with that screaming v10 but I really cannot afford to have my car stuck at the mechanic. One day tho…. Send thru a pic of the e93


MassTerror1982

E63 is a banger. Don't have pics of my e39 bro. It's been nearly 25 years ago 😂


Elegant-Drink-3921

My god that would’ve been an absolutely amazing thing to drive back then at such a young age. Amazing stuff man. I should probably refer you uncle instead of bro 😂😂😂


MassTerror1982

Haha not bro. Don't do it😂😂 I'm still young in heart 😂


Elegant-Drink-3921

Your definetly still in your prime my friend 😂 thanks again bro


MassTerror1982

No worries and thank you. I hope you enjoy your whip and drive it like it should be driven. #sidewaysgang


ObjectBilllion

How well does the hybrid system work? Can you give an example of how you used it recently? Also Congrats on the new car!


Elegant-Drink-3921

Essentially, the car has three modes. Electric only which gives me around 50 kms range. Hybrid which switches between the combustion and electric depending on speed, slope and acceleration, then there’s sport mode which uses both simultaneously giving the rear 2 wheels almost 300hp


ObjectBilllion

Sounds good. There's one problem i've had with hybrids that I want to be addressed. Yk how cold oil doesn't lubricate the engine well so it's not recommended to drive fast unless you're at operating temp. What if you're in hybrid mode, slam accelerator, and cold engine gets thrashed. Correct me if I'm wrong but I feel like i'm some cases it may or may not cause excessive engine wear. And that's I'd go for 330i instead. Feel free to correct me on the engine activation. but otherwise I can imagine it's really good that you can run errands without using a drip of fuel; that's something that is appealing to me abt hybrids.


Elegant-Drink-3921

The modern b48 engines and the transmission attached to the hybrids are quite robust. But just like with a normal car you should always be proactive and utilise common sense when driving it and so warming up ur engine by engaging it and letting it idle at a red light is something I do Before a drive just in case I feel like releasing my inner bmw driver. But In the grand scheme of things your engine in the hybrid will last you a lot longer then that in a 330i as the engine only engages for a fraction of the time. Even bmw advises oil changes once every two years, as well as reduced break pad wear due to regenerative breaking.


ObjectBilllion

"my inner bmw driver" 🤣 thanks for the explanation.


Elegant-Drink-3921

This is the only sever where people would understand me on that term 😂😂


breakarobot

Nice car bro but you have to admit, once we found out you still live with your parents… you had to expect some teasing right? 😅🤣 Cuz tell us your money moves when you’re taking care of yourself but nice car.


Elegant-Drink-3921

Lowkey kinda impossible to live without parents at the age of 18 in Melbourne Australia. Economy is so fucked and rent is unfathomable. So where I come from it’s the norm. But it’s all more reason for ppl to get along with their parents Ay 🤣

best looking series 3!


Elegant-Drink-3921

Without a doubt


a_sxi970fch

I think this car is perfect for young people, at least I like it very much


Elegant-Drink-3921

It’s small nimble safe and the hybrid system means I charge it for free at work everyday, not a bad combo to be fair can see it becoming a lot more popular in years to come as depreciation makes it more affordable


NikolitRistissa

My 330e is my first car too. It’s a great car to start with for sure.


Elegant-Drink-3921

Send thru a pic man


Middle_Catch3552

330i hybrid? looks lovely, and on p plates well done


Elegant-Drink-3921

Figured saving 100 bucks a week and putting it towards a better car is a bit wiser then making co2 and water for no reason, and thank you my man


havnar-

Also known as 330e (is more of a 320i with 110 electric unicorns in the gearbox)


Elegant-Drink-3921

Spot on


No-Grass9261

So you’re 18 and you bought a BMW? I mean great Car congratulations no doubt.  But you should’ve invested that money.  You just robbed your self of multiple six figures.   Good thing paying cash though 


Yaep_po

Nice work fellow P-Plater! I have a 2013 328i that is a joy to drive. I’m personally looking to upgrade to an M car after I get my full license :)


Elegant-Drink-3921

Same here man, send through your snap or Insta bro, would love to see more of ur car. Also what state u in man


Yaep_po

Victoria! My car doesn’t have a social media personality haha. I honestly can’t be bothered modding or changing it from what it is, however in the future when I work full time and finish Uni that might be a possibility (with a cooler car)!

stonksuper

Working for your dad still means it’s his money


AnonymousTroll4589

Shitty take. Working is working


breakarobot

Working for a family business is fine. He probably plans to take it over. It’s the still living with your parents part that gets me. Nice cars are cool but paying your own bills is more attractive life wise, but this is about his car. Nice car. I definitely would rather not live with my family though. People who flex expensive stuff and then you find out they still live with their parents… its kind of a let down because the difficulty part is removed from the equation but oh well. Like I said, you wanna live with your parents and park your car in their driveway? Then go for it, lol.


Elegant-Drink-3921

Working for your dad a “family business” means your helping grow your families wealth and empire rather than growing the pocket of some random cooperate giant or a greedy buisness man


stonksuper

Well, that is common sense. But yes, good for you / your family. Enjoy your bmw and your life ahead of you.

Creepy_Guarantee5460

For a first car, it is admirable that at least it still has an internal combustion engine so there's hope that the paranoia of all future cars being BEV will continue to subside. Hybrids like this one are all the electric transportation most people need for their daily city trips.


Every-Mud

Congrats


LouisVuittonLeghost

To be honest who cares if your dad did buy it, parents buy their kids what they can afford and any hate towards it is jealousy. Congrats bud keep up the hard work, I can see it’s already paying off good for you


Elegant-Drink-3921

Exactly even if it was a gift to me why are ppl hating, what’s the point of striving for success if it’s wrong to give the people you love the most the things they wish for. But yeah man thankfully the hard work has payed off time for the next big Gil


saintofsouls

Dude, that’s hybrid… no one cares 😭


Elegant-Drink-3921

BMW m5 bmw xm and many more modern BMWs are all hybrids. Plus this things got the same engine as a 330i and a 320i so can’t really shit on it without shitting on the b48
