Everyone has their limits.
At first, she wanted a Mini. Then I told her it was a BMW underneath and steered her towards Velosters and Mazda 3s.

It's taken a lot of therapy, but I'm no longer trying to engage in the self-abuse of additional BMWs being put into the hands of my offspring.

I briefly considered a Mini, but was looking at the 1G S/C models & read too many stories of the S/C needing rebuild/replace after about 80k miles.
M3 hatch is a good option too, looked at a lot of those, but finding a 2.5 with the 6MT in a Grand Touring was tricky.

My daughter and I did some detailing work on her car this past weekend. Taught her how to properly wash, clay, and wax the car, as well as clean the interior and glass. It was fun and it turned out pretty nice.

My sisters were pretty opposite on it.
The middle kept her car pretty tidy & still does with 2 kids.
The youngest, looks like the stereotypical teenage boy's room.

My daughter is insanely grossed out by messy interiors. I'm guessing at least that part of her car will remain very clean.

My wife comments on my Explorer "how is your car always clean?"
Her Expedition has the occasional kid-induced chaos in the back.

Perfect first car for your daughter, T. Maybe she will trade up to a Veloster N someday to hang with your M going down to Tortilla Flats

The aero lip on the front of the E93 was a little worse for wear. Got a new one and had it wrapped in PPF this time.

Based on the wear, you need Kevlar, not ppf for that
i Like when they make the lower lip removable.
Both cars look great (Saw that M in the other thread too)

I completely forgot about your E93. Glad to see it's still getting love.

Put it on the front of a t-shirt and put "unfuckable" on the back.
