Why BMW's are better than any other car
« Reply #15 on: September 05, 2001, 02:39:00 AM »
I've never liked BMW because everybody seems to get an erection from them.

So called status symbols, status is nothing you can touch. As far as i am concerned, status does not exist.

BMW's are good cars, but i just don't want to participate in this community that is staring blind at BMW, Mercedes, Audi and so on.

I drive a Renault clio 1.6 16v with 110Hp.
I love it.
It is small and comfortable.
The seats are one of the best available.


Example.
If i have to choose between a BMW 3.20 and a subaru impreza.  I take the impreza.


See ya,

Ps, have you ever seen on tv this cover from Phil Collins, Coming in the air tonight?
This girl is standing in front of a BMW. She wears a jacket or coat covered with BMW logo's. That is truly sad!  :) i laughed my bellybutton off lookin' at that.  :)

Bike, the title of this thread was misleading, BMW is far from the best car (however one of the most pleasureable driving experiences you'll ever have..) and the thread was simply drawing light to the nice looking chic.  :)

Something Subaru can't produce, at least now  :D

For the 330ci, prices start for the 2002 models at $34,995.00.  Taxes are based by state (WA state is 8.5%) and car tags each year is $30. I went for the 330 with the bigger engine (3.0L, 227 HP) and left the "luxury" options to those who care about "fluff" .

I bought the car as a toy, I plan to race it in our BMW club at the track.  I begin instructor lessons in late Oct. and continue again in the spring.  You won't find many 115 hp cars racing at Seattle International Raceway  ;).  If I was using it for a form of transportation from point a to point b, I would have bought a 115 hp car too...but Im not, this is a hobby, one of racing.  Gonna be fun!

Why BMW's are better than any other car....

...because driving one makes a man feel better after his inability to satisify his woman!

"Why BMW's are better than any other car"

I think it's the own-horn-tootin' loudmouth poser owners that put them over the top!

Rip, did you order the satin baseball jacket with "BMW" logo, or are you getting the BMW emblem medallion?  Better yet you can get one of those "bald guy berets" with the BMW logo.  

  :D

Didn't go overboard that far Funked, but did join the BMW club so I could race it on both Seattle International raceway, and Bremerton international raceway.  $100 for an 8 hour day of racing.  Replaces my addiction for skydiving that used to cost at least that much per day, but the equipment for this new sport is alittle more than the cost of parachute equipement.. :D

Incidently, read up a thread or two next time, the thread name was to draw you to the girl not the car, ya dummy!
