Recently graduated and started a new job as a biz analyst for a large financial firm. Still going to be living at home and on track to clear 100k if bonuses come in favorably around Christmas.

I've been driving a beatup shitbox since high school, '99 Camry with 150k miles on it. But it's time to upgrade.

I have my eye on this 2019 BMW X4 M40i. The dealer near me has a great lease special

- $3,000 down
- $649/mo for 36 months

Thoughts? Hopefully I can up my dating game with this too, still single but ideally I find a girl and we can move in together.

$3K down and 650 / month? so spend $27K for nothing? get a used x5m for $15K or better keep the camry. 99 is the patrician's year anyways and it's barely broken in at 150k miles.

You dont need to buy something that "everyone knows is expensive," just something that women would want to get into.
I personally dont like the look of the fat-back BMWs like the gran turismo variants. X6M is badass but also $$$.

Mercs are pretty awful too. If the german cars had a pretty good supply of parts and aren't always figuring out how to scam the customers by redesigning the entire car every 4 years then it wouldn't be bad to drive one even if its less reliable than the japanese counterparts.
