On point! :ugh2:

Hahahaaaa. The other day I went to pep boys to pick up some cleaning products for my wicked ride... a Z4 was parked in the parallel front parking of the store and he took 2 of the lines parallel spaces. I seen 2 SUV's in those spaces before. Why can't BMW owners park, use turn signals or drive there cars without being in all 3 lanes in 30 seconds. Talk about compensating for a small one. Whenever they are one the road they act like we owe them to get out there way. And everytime they see me they do fly by's. Its like a civic owner got some money and the next day they bought a bimmer... lol:roflpuke2:

The ultimate driving machine is often driven by the ultimate douchebag who can't drive!!!

Bimmers car cool though. As far as price. A manual base 135 with sport pkg overlaps a touring Z. They get up around 4k higher up top so they kinda compete in price. Bimmers are more refined and Z's are Raw! Bimmer is presitge to some and the Z is personality. The only thing is, there's no prestige in driving something less than 75k. So 1's, 3's and 5's don't count. 6 or better, then you sayin' something. If I was really trying to have an image I would have bought a used cayman S which was in my budget range.

I would say that BMW does have prestige, except that everyone is leasing one these days. I considered a 335i for that reason, but reliability was just too bad. I would say that the only thing I regret about the 370z, is the fact that at the end of the day its a Nissan, not some luxury brand. That being said, I've had several clients mistake it for a Porsche, which I certainly don't mind. :happydance:

Nothin wrong with likin your apple! Some users though really believe their apple machine is far and away superior to any other desktop or tablet which is jsut no the case!

haha! do it man!

I actually prefer driving a non-luxury make. I like to buy based off of value and what i am actually getting than for brand prestige. I def would not pay a premium for a badge. The car needs to be better in tangible ways that matter to me enough to justify the added cost, not just be comparable but have a fancy badge. That's why i like that the GTR is a Nissan and not an Infiniti. Gold Diggers probably won't notice you because it's 'just a nissan', but their sugar daddy's in their Porsches and Ms def will and they'll respect the car for sure because the car is a monster, not because it is a 'insert expensive brand here'

Own a 535i, 370z and a Trans am..:wtf2:

I now suffer garage envy :icon17:

Thus the reason why I ended up with a 370z and not a BMW :tiphat:

As a BMW owner now I can tell you there are 2 kinds of bimmer owners. The enthusiasts who appreciate all good cars and are gearheads, and the posers/douchebags who believe anything without a Made in Germany sticker and ridiculously huge pricetag is rubbish. The dichotomy between the 2 camps is very obvious if you surf BMW forums.

pfft, the bmw has more "character"???
has this douchebag ever sat in a bmw? its like the most plain, vanilla, padded cell feeling slushbox vibe i ever had. couldnt even read the whole page. had to go puke.

dont get me wrong, i like the body style of the Z4 on the outside, but not for tripple the price, no sir. bmw is a good place to go to waste money.

no offense to bmw owners, but honestly, after getting in two or three of them, nothing exited me or stood out. it just felt like grandpa's car.

this

getting pissed...damn iphone

took the words right out of my mouth.
well put
