Always Just Fukin Lol at dudes flexing with bmw 320i or X3.

[Nocturnal310]

how does it feel knowing you will never be able to afford a big boy 550i or 750Li.
How does it feel getting dropped by dude in a honda civic?
how does it feel being cramped in a tiny plasticky made in mexico "german" car?

only people with compact salary & compact taste buy "compact" luxury cars.

[KilaByte]

Why do you care?

[RobParks2M]

I think its more embarrassing you cared enough to type all that up

[swoleyo]

He has a point. Buying entry level luxury is retarded.

[nosirrahx]

There is only 1 car that makes me really scratch my head every time I see it.

What is the deal with that 2.0 A6 with FWD? You are paying for the 4 rings, and then getting next to no 4 ring stuff.

im sure M5 and 760 guys feel the same way when they see your 550i

A Camry XSE V6 is kind of a great car for the $.

[Jasonw1178]

Maybe some people want to sample wasting a little money on a big mistake before dropping a lot of money on a huge mistake. Like, wow this thing is a overhyped POS, I'll get an even bigger one so I can be more dissappointed. Or get an Audi to really let the world know you're a *******.

[Jax05]

someone has to buy the 'entry' level cars so that company can afford to sell higher end ones

[swoleyo]

I'm sure it is. I was more talking about buying an entry level car from a luxury brand like BMW or Benz. They don't come with all the luxury features that the higher models do and it defeats the purpose. Why spend more for a car that doesn't do anything that a Toyota doesn't? if I'm buying a BMW I want the twin turbo v8, adaptive suspension, laser headlights and the bows and wilkins sound system, led accident lighting, the crystal knob shifter thing, the ass massager built into the seat etc.

why TF does bmw make so many god damn model names.

ffs pick a number and stick with it LMAO

[RagnarChadbrok]

Agree that lol @ x20i's, always get the big engine. But I'd never choose say an M5 over an M2. Always get the smallest car that has enough cargo capacity for you, always better than a huge boat car. Especially in a world where most performance cars are huge boat cars

[dizzin9]

Which also comes standard with poverty halogen headlights just lol

at 6'2" 205 you're pretty much at the limit for what those little cars and their little seats were designed to fit. if i was little yea m2 would be great, but really not great for taller people

Because cars cost much much more in other countries.

That 520i for example in most Asian countries could cost anywhere from 90k-180k for a 520i.

That M5 that costs 100k in the US could cost 200k to 300k.

So they have different engine displacements for sale all over the world and different numerology depending on what the competition is selling.

So if Benz is selling a 100k E300 in [Y] Country, then BMW's 525i (in [X] Country) might be called a 530i in [Y} Country.

Most people who live in the US dont realize that cars are insanely cheap in the US. In Singapore for example, a C43 could cost you about 250k USD.

[MyBaddBrah]

I can tell you don't get it. A 3-series or A4 is what people should be driving if they make ~80-120k, which many people fall under. 5-series and the likes of that higher requires a higher salary, or getting a few bags before you settled into a good job.

[FoxMcCocks]

OP drives a Mazda lmao

This isn't entirely accurate because everyone's financial position is different. If you're making 75k but live in a duplex where the other tenant is paying for your mortgage/bills and you're basically living for free a 5 series isn't going to hurt you. That's 25k a year saved if your mortgage was 2000 a month. The property is also a tax write off.

This is why I don't like blanket statements about how much you should make to afford car x.


If you're paying some landlord 2500 a month and have three kids and some gold digging wife you have no business buying a 5 series even if you're making 130k.

[BigElephant]

This. No point in going BMW sedan if you don't go 7 series.

[RagnarChadbrok]

I'm a bit over 6'2 with wide shoulders. In the front, I fit comfortably in an M2, ATS, TTS, and even BRZ. The only car that just doesn't work for me is a Miata with the top up. Granted I prefer the feeling of being in a little car, some people may hate this and wanna feel like they have tons of room around them to stretch out

[kovalchuk71]

The X3M is no joke.

Not sure what you're talking about.

The first number is the series, the two following numbers [used to] correspond to engine displacement (i.e. a 330i was a 3-series with a 3.0L engine... now, the 330i has a 2.0L engine)

[BullittEV]

It's faster than a ZL1 or gt500 to 60 and costs more than a c8 if you tick enough boxes

I got my wife a x3 m40i which if its flash tuned apparently can hit 60 in 2.9 seconds, but even stock its pretty fun

I guess OP meant x1 or x2

Yeah but who wants to go fast on the street with an SUV? IMO the X1, X3 look like chit, and then all the little "M" badges completely diluting what ///M used to stand for. BMW lost their competitive edge and went straight for the materialistic types. The reason the E46 M3 holds value is because of this. Nothing makes me cringe more than seeing non M-built BMW's with M badges or non-AMG built MB's with AMG tags because they got some trim pieces. It's the equivalent of fake badges on your car but it's OK because the company did it.

I don’t think he’s suggesting that most would choose the X3M over a ZL1, but rather that the X3M is no slouch/LOL-worthy.

Thats not why the E46 M3 holds its value.

The E46 M3 held its value cause the E46 was a beautiful body shape, also it was the most recent manual, high revving NA M3 that is still somewhat reliable.

Also it only has value if its low miles. Like under 60k miles.

The E46 M3 is not selling not its a 90s NSX or something.

It has absolutely nothing to do with it being an M-Car when M/AMG was more "pure".

Same with C180. It's pretty fooken bad inside and outside.

Why do you care?

Because he's the guy in the riced out Civic with the unpainted front bumper.

E90 M3 V8 masterrace checking in can confirm all new BMWS are absolutely chit including M's

Is your C7 GS a fake z06? Just wondering, because it seems like Chevrolet really dilutes the brand of the Z06 with the GS

(not srs, just making fun of your post)

Btw, the M40i you're making fun of is more powerful than your V8 when tuned
