I bet he definitely wants a car guys love 
Seriously dude, you gotta narrow it down for us, all you've got it at is a nice car, not a truck or SUV... So AWD, RWD, FWD, coupe, sedan, hatchback, 4 seats, 2 seats, 2+2? Seriously narrow it down a little for us on your tastes... As an easy start, think of what you've liked of the cars you've already looked at, especially what are your favorites and what kinda car you wanna have. Does name matter, speed, quality, luxury, or what? If you have a little over 50k to spend I'd go for the 335xi if you want a good all around package. However, if you don't need awd look at the IS350 and the 335i. I mean jeez, for 50 k I could write you a list of everything I'd get

How the hell did you make 50k$ at your age? Jesus I need a new job. Anyways, no one can decide what car is right for (hence why you're getting stupid responses), your best bet is to go out and test drive them. I've had people tell me I should have bought a mustang or a charger rather than my car but I'm happy with my decision.

I'm kind of in the same boat. I'm looking for something in the $3,000 to $94,000 range. Any help?
But seriously, don't waste your money at that age on something that will drop in value quicker than your ***** just dropped. Go ahead and buy yourself a reliable car, hell, even something sporty, but don't break the bank. Invest the rest of whatever you've got, or even try and get a co-signer to buy some property or a house. Then, by the time you're in your mid-late 20s, you'll be STR8 BALLIN'!!! If you think you've got a lot of money burning a hole in your pocket now, just wait until you can turn it into some real $$$...
If you're actually telling the truth, then I admire your work ethic, and that at a young age you're making an effort to be independent and work for what you get. If you can keep focusing that energy (and try to avoid wasting money when you don't need to) you'll be very successful. If you need to stretch yourself to get it, or if you basically use up all your hard earned cash, then it's NOT worth it.
Good luck either way.
Oh yeah, keep in mind maintenance costs after you've dropped all that money on the car... for the cars you're looking at, tires alone are going to be a couple hundred $ each...

I know you didn't ask for financial advice but I'll give it to you anyway. If you have such cash saved up go buy a cheap car and invest the rest. Mutual funds, stocks, CD's, money market, etc. Why waste it on a depreciating asset? All that hard work down the drain. There are plenty of nice cars that you can get for cheap; used s2000, 1999 Eclipse GST/GSX, etc. Good luck!

This was my first car.. i just turned 17 at the time .. i bought it stock did all the work to it..
never wrecked it just moved on to other things and sold it..
but it shouldnt matter where he gets his money from he just asked a simple question.. not every young kid who buys a nice car wrecks it..
But i would def go with a bmw if u want to spend your money in that price range i had this car and now i also have a x5 and i love em..
