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.

nothing at all wrong with bmw owners bro. its just not the car for me. the interior kills it for me. it all kinda flows into itself, very plainly. nothing raw or sporty. each to his own though!

^ lol, m3 is a great car though. I just don't like the 325/328 owners (not all of them) who drive like they have something to prove and think their car is a super fats sports car

well i had a 370z, now I have a bmw 3 series coupe.
I must say the 370z is a much more exciting car to drive and i miss it dearly, however I could not pick clients up for a lunch meeting in downtown manhattan in a 370z. Car wasn't percieved very well on the street.

friend purchased for his real estate job a 08 550i used with 30-50k miles i cant remember but the moment he got it he was already looking at magazine numbers comparing it to my Z. shortly after that he couldnt stop repeating their moto "it really is the ultimate driving machine". he was so cocky about his car is was kind of sad. All i can say is a year later and 1 transmission down he was happy he purchased an extended warranty.
