> IMO you should be looking for the most reliable, practical daily you can afford. This isn’t a project car, a ballin ass whip, or a race car. Get something that is newer so it doesn’t look like shit for your job, and something practical & safe you can stuff the family in and go on a road trip. You still ahve your Nissan, so don’t get caught up in the typical Shift518 car buying methodolgy: Are the rims big? Do it ride good?

this pretty much sums it up. The last thing you should be buying is a BMW. get something cheap reliable. Getting a loan isn’t a bad thing, just make sure you can afford it.
