Snooty BMW owners

mhcoss

1M versus a Nismo 370z - Page 2 - BMW 1 Series Coupe Forum / 1 Series Convertible Forum (1M / tii / 135i / 128i / Coupe / Cabrio / Hatchback) (BMW E82 E88 128i 130i 135i)

Stumbled across this thread today doing a simple google search. Never ceases to amaze me how snooty bmw owners can be! They remind me of apple fans

reading through the thread I'd say most of the posters have a fair deal of respect for the z car. They really are two different animals a better comparison is the bmw z4 coupe

Ya some posters there do have respect and understanding. Then you have your pretentious bmw owners in there as well haha

Ehh I wouldn't get caught up in people posting on the "INTERWEBZ". Just by reading someone else own opinion is nonsense to me. Unless its something from a pro-rated car reviewer or comparison test (Car and Driver, Road & Track) with no bias, maybe I'll look into it. I could care less what others think.

The 1 series is ugly anyways, imo of course

They didnt really bash the 370z at all, worst they said is calling it a boy racer image, and Nissan isnt as classy"

Isnt the 1M cost alot more?, i dont think its ugly at all, ide rather get an E90 M3 all day though.

The NISMO is pure "boy racer" with it's double-decker wing, 5" looking muffler tips, and huge chin spoiler, lol. I don't find that observation "off" at all. I also don't think my car is as "classy" as a BMW, although I view the 1 series as a "now I have a BMW, too! Respect me!" type car. The M3, 5 and 6 series cars, are just classy automobiles, the likes of which Nissan cannot equal for "class". Pull up in an M6, and people respect you anywhere. Pull up in a GT-R, and at some functions people will roll their eyes at your "need to prove" something--never-mind the M6's purpose.

Just my .02

Most of them seem pretty reasonable to me. They are on their forum because they are enthusiast so you might get a few skewed opinions.

Different strokes for different folks.

"So in short, the Nismo 370z doesn't hold a candle to the 1M, nor does the 370z."

Lines like that make me

In all honesty I really doubt that you can compare a 1M to a Nismo. The two are in different classes completely.

I know that is whats funny about it. The 1m is at least 10k more and any performance advantage it has is marginal at best.

MacLean

At least 10k more if not 12-13k more.


Even if you wanted to get extended warranty you are looking at about 3.5k for the M3. If you have noticed a lot of the people that drive BMW trade them in once they hit 40-50k b/c it is a SOB to maintain.
