Of course it's partly jealousy, and I wouldnt say no either, but kids who get everything from the start tend to lack the perspective surrounding those items.
If you're giving out free Beamers to your teenagers, you're sort of setting that kid up for disappointment. There's a sense of satisfaction in working your way up in life, and if youre getting beamers as a teen, you better be getting a Porsche the next time, or you're in for a let-down.
I got to drive around my mom's crappy old Mazda 323 with acceleration of an iceberg and a tailpipe that sounded like a Boeing taking off. It sure made me appreciate the time when I got the chance to drive a nicer car.
But hey, I don't really want to speculate here too much, maybe the guy worked hard for his Bmw.
