R&L's C6

The people that spend double on something else need to find something to justify the cost. They cant justify it on looks nor performance or maintenance costs.

If you like B e e m e r's so much, go find a Beemer board. Jeez.

Maybe some of us like our cars.

Lets all go over to the BMW forum and argue with those Nancy's.

Yea, I started to go in that direction. The specific wife/girlfriend going with you on the 2000 mile drive could without question affect the overall assessment of the car.

Driving 2000 miles with this...



would put me in a different mood about the car I'm driving, than driving 2000 with this...it's the "subjective" stuff all over again.

R&L's C6

We can all agree with that.

rayk

Cruel example, but I would agree with that.

Got my loaded M3 with 13k miles on it for $52K.

I'm on them already, thanks. I stay here because I still like the widebody C6's. I'm on the Porsche sites as well because I like the 911 and Cayman S. Unlike many of you here, I don't bow at the alter or swing on the ******* of any particular manufacturer.

I'm glad that you like your car. Honestly. I just hope for a better interior/seats/etc. in the next version.

Just trying to point out your absolute nonsense.

Now why would I even own a car that I see absolutely no value in?

I've driven, and driven in enough of them to know that they're just a "glorified status symbol". Nothing about the 650 vert or hard top, M3 or even their "luxury" 7 series impresses me.

Two words sum them up...overpriced crap!!!

This is just too hilarious!!!

Are you are dreaming? I think it's more like a nightmare ...quick, somebody toss some cold water on this boy!!!

M3 seat's have good support but no better than the sport seats with adjustable bolsters that come in every 3ZR package ZR1.

As far as comfort...they just come up far short of reaching any kind of comfort. sorry

They're like sitting on a wooden park bench with a thin sheet of leather covering the top of it. If you're calling that a seat, then you just need to get out more...

WHY?.......

Racer

And you will admit to that?? OMG!!!!!!

I was thinking salvage title price myself.

They would have to pay me for a "pristine" M3... then I'd donate it to charity.

At least it would be worth something then...

Funny how you take a shot at General Motors, yet every brand they make beats BMW's in quality. Every brand of GM cars beats BMW in dependability for 2011.

So it actually looks like you keep accepting the **** BMW throws at you just for pure status. That is indeed sad in more ways then one.

Looks as if that has already been done.

From the forum alone there are several Corvette owners that can afford a 458 and choose the Vette. All you need to do is take a moment to read and learn. It really is not all that hard.

ALMS21

Yeah sure.....Do some research and educate yourself before running your yap and letting everyone know what an imbecile you are.

One owner with tons of warranty left. Just had it at VIR last Saturday for a private day track rental. Drove 4.5 hours there; drove this **** out of it on Saturday for four hours on the track. Drove it back home Sunday morning. FLAWLESS.

Unlike you waxers and poseurs, I drive mine like its supposed to be driven.

Hey Junior --- BMW M3 was #1 in the Sporty (See GT) Category. BMW numbers were dragged down by the N54 engine with the HPFP issues. ON top of that the S65 engine in the BMW has won engine of the year EVERY year it has been in existance. Sorry to burst your bubble sport.

Last time I checked, BMW was not bankrupt and bailed out by it's Government either.

To each his own. Vette is shock and awe, rock and roll. Porsche is surgical strike, symphony (and it looks the part, boring!). I love rock and roll, would fall a sleep in a symphony concert (I simply do not waste my time buying tickets for it, my bed is paid for it). 65K vs 97K?....Not only I am laughing all the way to the bank, try to DIY on the porsche or get more horsepower out of it?, forget it, it is already almost tapped out. Vette?...another 200-600HP on tap for mere 10-25K. Spend the 30K difference on the vette (including the custom leather competition interior), you would have a car that would compete with cars costing 8 times more. A true hotrodders dream!

Maybe BMW should subcontract GM to build there cars. Quality would go up and MSRP would go down.

I've never owned a vehicle not made in the US. Just the way I feel about where I spend my money. Wouldn't matter how good the BMW is. I take some pleasure in chasing them down on the track.

ALMS21

And if I'm paying $100K for a car you can bet your *** it won't be a Chevy with ****** seats and a tupperware/fisher price looking interior.

ALMS21

No, you see BMW is in business to make a profit; not get bailed out by it's Government, wipe out the Bond holders and line the pockets of the UAW. Just wouldn't work.
