First figure out your finances and what your goals are. Being upside down on an almost 4 year old car would have me looking to get into a better financial situation.

While I like cars, having fewer financial problems and extra money to do what I like is far better.
Amen, amen.

I have never payed the minimum payment how ever and have only had it since March 2014. Super car just more interested in something with M prestige now
What you need to be interested in first and foremost is getting yourself on a sounder financial footing. I don't want to sound cruel but from what I've seen in this thread you should not be looking at $35K - $40K cars. Get yourself rightside up on the BMW and trade it in for a Honda Civic or, my favorite, a Honda Fit. Don't be afraid to buy used, both cars are dead reliable, but do look for a clean one of course. Pay it down as fast as you can until you own it outright. Keep socking those payments away until you can pay cash for another Fit. *Then* *maybe* start thinking about "M prestige". Maybe.

Good luck! Let us know how it works out.

EDIT: And whatever you do don't buy that Evo!
