OP I think you can do without a new BMW. I've recently taken a pay-cut from my previous job (and still earn a heck of a lot more than you do) and have had to make do with a cheaper car. I crashed my old car so the insurance payment paid for the (nearly) new car. I don't think you can afford the BMW you want, and definitely don't need.
