Seems more like the Z owner was the snooty person.

PS I like my apple computer even though I am a IT guy.

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!

Easy.

1M is a car you lease.

370z is a car you buy.

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.

To each his own, but BMW's are kind of like Apple products. You're bombarded with advertising soo much, you start to believe it. I'm a fan of BMW, but image and class isn't with the car, it's with the driver. Pull up in an M6 with Gucci sunglasses, and Ed Hardy shirt, an orange tan and bedazzled jeans and all that BMW will make you look is an even bigger d-bag.

All things being equal and if you're just a normal guy, the BMW does give off an elitist image. No one is going to roll their eyes if you pull up at a function in GT-R any more than say a Porsche, a Viper or Corvette. Most people don't know anything about cars in general, let alone those you would want to impress at some lavish ocassion. If they do, they'll respect and know about GT-R... if their knowledege only spans brand names, they won't know what it is, but they'll think it's probably fast. If anything, I think the GT-R has less of phallic complex than say a Porsche.

Any car that looks fast will make you look like you have something to prove. If you want to look classy, you roll up in something vintage or an Aston Martin. A BMW, while I'm a huge fan, starts to look common and utilatarian after seeing so many. No one is going to say it's crap, but no one is going to be wow'd when a 3 series passes you by either.

You think BMW owners have issues try joining the mustang crowd. Cars under 400hp don't even exist to them. And the highest form of respect is condescension. My favorite line is "Yea ****** (substitute Japanese car) are really coming a long way, they give the 6 cylinder muscle cars a run for their money". Lol please. I was outrunning mach 1's and GTs since my first Z.

Eh. You hear this in every circle. Muscle car guys constantly go on about how terrible imports are. Import guys talk about how unreliable/poorly designed/etc. American cars are.

It is completely irrelevant.
