Is a BMW a good first car for a teenager?
My son is about to graduate from driver’s ed. He’s kept his grades up, so my end of the bargain was to buy him a first car. I love my BMW, so I was leaning in that direction, but is it a good choice for a first-time teenage driver?

A car for good grades sounds like a great deal! While a BMW is rather expensive for a teenage driver in terms of price and
car insurance
, it could be a good first car for a teenager. The greatest perks of the car for young drivers are that BMWs get decent fuel economy and have the latest safety features—BMW even has five cars on the IIHS Top Safety Pick list.However, BMWs have high repair costs and car insurance could get outrageous when you mix a young driver with a luxury car and a powerful engine.
If you decide to purchase a BMW for your son, don’t forget to reduce your current and future
BMW insurance costs
