If he takes anything without permission then he will be dealt with by the law and then I would break his legs.
Yeah, that would not be a good idea giving a M3 to a 16 year old.


That being a said a nice slightly underpowered E46 325i can be a great first car. It has served me well. Good handling and its fast enough to be fun, but slow enough to where you have to try to go fast to go fast.
