I've been a huge fan of BMW since I was a kid and always dreamed of owning one. Been saving up since my first job at 14, yes, making minimum wage as a bagger at Star Market. In 4 years, saved up about $10k for a down payment, which really wasn't very difficult when living at home and had no other expenses aside from an occasional dinner or movie on the weekends. Then financed the rest of the $22k over 6 years.
Funny that you mentioned the drug dealer comment because that's exactly what I told acquaintances because they (like you) found it more believable than the truth. My real friends knew me and knew the truth.
To all those who don't believe me, that's fine, you're entitled to your own opinion. I am just shocked by the personal attacks just because you can't seem to understand how I did it. Anyway, this will be my last response on this matter.

This really isn't the information you lead us to believe. You're now telling me that you saved $10k in 4 years worth of work which comes out to about $208 a month. That we can all believe as I'm sure we've all worked part time jobs for more than 7 hours a week while in high school (depending on what your minimum wage is). No one is making personal attacks on you, chill out, I just get an allergic reaction when I smell bullshit. Just sounded like you were claiming that you bought a $32k car at the age of 18 with no financial help from anyone while working minimum wage. Red flag bullshit right there for me. The fact is, you had to finance the remaining $22k for 6 years which really isn't called "buying your first $32k BMW at the age of 18." I would also add that your decision was not very "Asian" of you.
No one really cares how long you've been on this forum or think you're trolling. You lead me to think that you "worked hard" and "anything is possible" while what you saved up was only $10k. You just left out too many important details for your little story Mr. White Knight. And buddy, not to kick you in the balls but working and saving up $10k at the age of 18 really ain't that hard when you live at home and don't have expenses. A wiser individual may just buy a beater and have enough to get from A to B but you chose the path of 6 years finance just so you could get a BMW.
