Hey Aron,
IMHO, get the "practice bike" first.
Negotiate with your folks that it is better and then negotiate for the 'beemer" for later. The BMW is a more sedate bike and you might be a few years from that, but you will be back into working with them as you learn (it IS a learning process to ride well and be safe).
Best of luck in what we all hope will be a happy, safe and long time riding experience!
