Your thoughts on BMW?

[Sergeant]

I have alot of respect for BMW, and I think they make great cars. The quality of the interiors is always much better in comparison to Mercedes-Benz who now do it more 'on the cheap'.

Mom currently drives a BMW 2008, with 21" Alpina rims and we both adore it. Its a black, 5 litre petrol.

Imagine this car in black, and there we have it - same wheels without chrome-lined windows

We had a BMW Z4 for a short period, but the weather wasn't good enough for the car and it no longer was practical.

I personally believe BMW should forget the 1 Series, as there is no point in providing this bathtub on wheels to the public - I think it gives the company a bad name.


I know alot of people hold grudges against BMW and other German car manufacturers, but what is your view?

[IAMWILL]

I think the 1M is spectacular. But I'm more of a MBZ guy. I'd take the new E63 AMG S over an M5. And I think the X range is outdated. I love older BMWs. I'd kill for an E46 M3 Laguna Seca edition or an E39 M5 though. I love those cars.

[PinkFloyd]

BMW is my favorite car brand of all time. I would kill to have a '97 E30 M3!

[Wakesetter03]

Mercedes Benz interiors are on par with BMW, if not better.

I do like BMW though. My parents have had 2 M3's, 2 X5's and one 5 series over the years.
Reliability was an issue for some, they don't like Australian conditions I guess.

I think they are a well built German car and they offer great engineering.
I also think the 1 Series is a brilliant car. It was actually made to bring back "driving purity" which has been lost over the years with electronic steering and driver aids.
The 135i and 1M (both run a twin turbo straight six) are awesome cars.

[rocketsheep]

fffff

[David29]

BMW is nice but there are a lot better types of cars out there

[midnightstar]

I know like BMW's M division
Overall I like how they look and drive but there a few things at annoy me about their regular cars, ex: only M division bmws get limited slip diff

[CharlieHorse]

All of the stuck-up, rich, snobby people drive BMWs in the san fran bay area...
It's the stereotype here.
I don't like them at all.

[Hypers]

I like BMWs.... But I like Mercs more. Mercs look more mean, and are more of a 'look at me' car and I like that.

[Jamesison]

I love them my parants drive them I think they are great cars.

[Danny Phantom]

BMW makes some real nice cars! They look great and perform great for the most part, but that comes at a price and some of their cars are real expensive. My stepdad has a 7-series and its so cool :)

[KrisKindle]

I don't mind BMW's. A lot of people in my neighborhood have them. However, the beef I have with them is not the car itself but with some people who drive BMW's. They think they're hot shots and don't obey the laws of the road (they speed, park illegally, driving through stop signs). Personally, I prefer Audi's to BMW's. Auto snobs will say that Beemers are much better, but I prefer the design and performance of Audi's.

Well, when you can afford a car that is so much better than an Audi, then you will start doing California stops and go 10-20 MPH over the speed limit!

My family has mostly bought Mercedes-Benz, BMW, Porsche, and even a Bentley. I personally prefer the new Mercedes Benzs over new BMWs. We have recently had a: S63, G-wagon, GL550, E63, and a CLS. In the past 5 years we stayed away from BMW since the new breed of M-B came out. Have we forgot, that most of the safety features such as emergency brake assist and lane departure warnings have all come out first on Benzs and not Audi, BMW, or Toyota's crappy Lexus brand! Yet I do feel that the older BMWs look better than the older Mercedes Benz.

I despise when people say that the people with BMWs or Mercedes are snobs. Well I have to admit that we may actually be snobs, but when you can afford a sporty car, even a sporty executive sedan that is as fast as a Ferrari like our 2010 S63 AMG, that costs 2-4x more than what the middle class person can afford, then you unofficially HAVE THE RIGHT to drive like that. After all, you do make more money, you have to show it off somehow. How else to show that but to cut someone off or pass them going 85mph?

+1!!

I like BMWs, my cousin has a 3-Series M 335i and it's a beast. It's something pretty close to this:

I really like the interior quality as well as engine note and Torque. pretty nice for a 50k€ car.

There's only one thing coming to my mind. Drift that! I'd love to get my hand on a rel one rather than drifting in games :P 2 years 7 months 3 days to go.

Oh no, that's my bad. Is driving age in Spain 18? It's 16 here in 'Merica. ^_^

[Greg1994]

We have a 2011 535xi and I personally think it's a waste of money. The company paid for it, so it's not coming out of my parents pockets, but I still think it's a little wasteful. It's fun to drive and all I'll give it that, I just don't see why exactly that's the car my dad picked. I think an Infiniti or another Lexus would've been a little more practical choice. I like them, I just don't see myself wanting to spend that much on a car lol, I'd rather live in a nicer house.

[Stig]

I love BMWs. My dad just a 2013 750Li and it is his 5th one. I love it. Best German luxury/performance car manufacturer out there.

[oetzelflash]

Hey Guys ! I thing BMW isn't as cool as Mercedes ! But I habe to mention that BMW has got a good quality at their cars !

[MediaJordan]

Dad has a red 320d, m sport BMW it is really nice and i love their cars!

[Haz222]

I thin they're excellent quality cars.

My dad drives an X5 (the old one) damn that thing has torque!

[Naveen]

I love BMWs, compared to its rivals Audi and Mercedes. Over time audi has become tinier while the Beemers have become slightly more preferable. I have to agree that M sport is quiteclose to the performance of Audi's RS but i don't think that it woould be able to take over the brutal performance of the Merc's AMG. Out of all the luxury convertibles i love the BMw 6 series better. and all the BMW i series i.e BMW i8. Really appreciate BMWs measures taken to produce more economical cars

[HahaWaitWhat]

I definitely love BMW's but I think they're kind of overpriced. $140,000 for a 760Li? That's a bit much to me.

[chrisawesome]

I definitely love BMW's but I think they're kind of overpriced. $110,000 for a top of the line 7 series? That's a bit much to me.

No they are not overpriced. We had a Mercedes S65 amg that went 0-60 in the same time as a 3 year old Ferrari or Lambo. Keep in mind that a S class is a fully loaded ultra luxury sedan. If that type of car can go that fast and have so many features, including a onboard mini fridge and sat. tv, and Lambo has to sacrefice a heater or air cond. for performance, then the Lambo is way overpriced. Our $212,000 S65 with a 0-60 of 3.8 sec in is cheaper than a $220,000 Ferrari 458 that goes 0-60 in 3.2 sec. The mercedes comes with 3 exra luxury seats, more safety features, and more luxury features than a Ferrari. But that is mercedes benz and this post was about a BMW 7 series, which sucks big sweaty balls. Literally, My balls stick to the seats of my friend's mom's 750li even when I wear shorts!! For that price I think I would prefer a Maserati GranTurismo...http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-YLpMdpEeJDk/UK-ojcKChlI/AAAAAAAAIbA/luu5NiC3J8Y/s1600/animaatjes-maserati-gran-turismo-12663.jpg.
I think BMW is going pretty far with the 7 series, but will never reach the prestige of a Mercedes-Benz

This is about BMW not mercedes ;)

[Cygnus]

I love both their older and newer cars, great speed, handling, and design. The only incompatibility I have with them is the price, let's be sincere, the price is out of affordability for most of us.

[chrisawesome]

This is about BMW not mercedes ;)

I know I was explaining how that type of sedan compares to exotic sports cars. Example BMW M7 ALpina vs. Ferrari/Lambo

[AwesomeGuy15]

Eh the car looks alright but it's blue so that'll give my liking a lil boost

[Plane And Simple]

Well, I misunderstood your point then, sorry. I have always considered BMW the sporty brand of luxury/premium cars, and mercedes just being the classy and " I have to evidence my wealth with this comfy car" one, and audi being something in between.

[Jamesison]

I will say again I think they are great cars my parants have had them for years.. My mom had a 2012 X5 M and My Dad has A new 2013 M5 and and 2010 650I conv. I love them I am getting a 2011 M3 this year I cant wait..

[Charlie48]

6 series is killer. so is the M3

[freecell]

BMW is those who have small dicks.

[Wakesetter03]

BMW is those who have small dicks.

Of course. We all know cars are directly related to the size of body parts. :what:

[sparkles]

The bmw's are cool, but I think there's just a refined luxury that the Benz have that the bimmers don't. I have always thought the E-class is the best mid-sized sedan.

And Audi? Quit with the goofing around we're talking about serious european cars here.

[CharlieHorse]

It seems that a lot of snobby people drive BMWs... might just be a coincidence though... :/

[Plane And Simple]

What does snobby stand for? Even though I like BMWs I may be able to confirm that

[Left Now]

BMW seems to be a special car to me...It is really cool...But after all i like to old fashioned BMW,in green and blue colors...

[thiskidskates]

I love them my parants drive them I think they are great cars.

bmw is aweosme! i have a slammed e34. and the kid im quoting is cute af

[XjojosX]

I really like BMW . i am trying to buy bmw 320i :)

[teehee]

Some of those BMW's sound pretty damn good lol

[Cognizant]

I am personally a sucker for Audi, but I think they're solidly built. If I was being given one I would love it, though if I was being given a free Audi A6 I think I'd trade in.. :P

OMG an Audi mad! Just as me :D We have an A4 B5 in the garage. Good old TDi's. Feel free to PM/MV me to talk about them! :D

[Celtic.]

Horrible car manufacturer.

they are expensive to fix and they cost a lot to maintain its not worth it

[Wakesetter03]

I disagree. My family have had quite a few BMW's and we have never had any issues that weren't covered under warranty, without argument or hassle.
Every service/repair we got a car similar to our own to use whilst ours was at the dealership, and servicing (whilst a little more expensive than other makes) was not overly expensive considering the service involved.

That's one of the key differences with manufacturers such as BMW, Mercedes, Audi, etc. You are not only paying for a car, you're paying for the post purchase support and service.

[Paaw]

lol this thread made me laugh :)
i'm not a big fan of new BMWs i own a e30 340 with a lot of blood an swat in it, because of the strict Croatian rules ( till age of 24 a driver is categorized as a young driver and is not permited to drive a car stronger than 80 kw :( ) i'm not able to drive it legally on the streat but lucky me has a track near my house :) dad and uncle are mechanicks so as a kid i grew up with cars :)

the engine swaped in on custom mounts lol :) 289 bhp 400 Nm :) a lil beast

sry for the bad pic but i dont have a lot of space in the garage and it isnt pretty now all torn up :)


i wanted to buy a e36 but none were in good conditions
e30 is still work in progress but i tell you it's evil :)
I wouldn't trade it for any other car in the world ( maybe the GT-R or the Rimac Concept_One :) )
