Bentley's are overrated . I've driven a couple different generations of them. Only driven/riden in a new Phantom which was simply a-mazing, and driven a db7, db9, and vanquish. Yeah....i love my job.

I did not want to come back but for the FUCKING GOOGLE BULLSHIT COMMENT i had to.

And reading is not your friend either, I NEVER said they have zero problems... get over yourself

Hey numb nuts....you getting tired of the google comments, then stop saying this bullshit about reading is not your friend. You sound like a damn broken record.

[quote]I do NOT need google or any other fucking search engine to debate with you about BMWs. So STFU with your google comments over and over and over again. It is getting very old and is fucking lame.

I guess reading is not your friend genius. How many people besides me have owned the shit out of you and your BMW's BS you've been spouting?

When something doesn't go your way, you pout and say that it's biased. When it does, even if it's from the SAME SOURCE, you swear on it like it was a Bible. Make up your damn mind and quit flip flopping.

E36 does not have electrical problems. Whoever said that is a fucking moron, BMW has NEVER had wiring issues. Maybe technology that is beyond what a customer knows what to do(iDrive) but no ELECTRICAL problems. Sure sensors may go bad from time to time but that is not a wiring issue. I will list my E36 known flaws here. Just so everyone knows that I know it is not perfect.

You're a damn joke. Go over to your butt buddies on bimmerforums and have someone with at least some bit of sense come over and take over this debate for you because you sir are sucking at it. Badly!

If you have a problem with what a review says, go fight with the damn reviewer. Why are you trying to shoot the messanger? Does it or does it not say on Consumer Reports that BMW's have shitty electrical systems???? Go look it up genius BMW know-it-all. I told you I'd be willing to bet you there were a few black dots on your venerable "ultimate driving machine" and THERE IS. Why argue with me or anyone else that is merely putting up links to PROVE our point? We didn't write the damn article. I'm sure since you're so good at google, you can google them and write them a nice nasty email telling them how "biased" and how "wrong" they are when they test 1000's of cars and you have driven 1...... .....Go ahead and tell them how you are good at google so YOU have to be better judge of what a car does and doesn't do because google and your vast 1 car experience trumps their YEARS of doing this for a living....... ......Go right ahead. Knock yourself out.

-BMW E36 runs hot, it kills radiator necks, every 80K needs a radiator.

My radiator neck hasn't busted. I've got 117k on my car and atleast 30k of those have been boosted......Japanese 1, your BMW 0.

-E36 Window Regulators, It has auto-up and down, auto-up will break because of shitty design on the sliders

My windows go up and down, no problems. Japanese 2, your BMW 0.

-Non M cars have been known to tear rear subframes if they are track driven with stiff suspension(fixed with ///M reinforcement kit)

Lexus "non-luxury" editions don't break frames at the track. I have full suspension package on my car making it 10X as stiff as stock. Still no frame tears. Driven on track, mountains, and every damn day. Japanese 3, your BMW still 0.

-Premature failure of rear shock mounts(80 dollar aftermarket ones last forever)

Then maybe super "luxury" BMW shouldn't of skimped on that part, huh?? Japanese 4, your BMW 0.

-Early E36 vehicles uses plastic impellers on water pump, plastic eventually wears and no water will be pumped, replace with new part number with "composite" water pump

Again, maybe super duper "luxury" BMW shoulda thought of that. Japanese 5, your BMW 0.

-Premature rear tire wear due to factory camber settings(a good thing)


-5th gear indent stick on cold morning(non issue unless you are really anal)

-Rear Shock failure, the E36 rear shocks are too long for the vehicle and cause premature failure

Is like a resounding theme with you aint it???


You are fighting a loosing battle. You know why? Because YOUR statements are your own worst enemy. Had you said something more subtle or humble, we wouldn't be owning your ass all over the place. As it stands, you came in all cocky and talking shit and have been sent back to the minors for further pieces of humble pie. Even your only ally here has turned out to be much more level headed than you.

Some BMW's are cool as shit. M's are the top of their tier in a lot of ways, but that "gap" is quickly shrinking with the Japanese and even some German cars closing the gap. If not now, soon, there will be testers that will finally get off the bandwagon and crown a new middleweight better than the M's. Until then, enjoy your little time in the limelight. Nothing lasts forever......except maybe a Japanese car......

Holy f*cking Hell, Jaimecbr900 went off.

Damn Jaime....calm down. You and dan nut sack riding lexus .

The vishnu tuned 335ci is the new standard of what is fast. I believe without to much tuning Shiv got 337hp and 369 ft/lbs on the dyno

and the soon to be shown Hartage 335xi sedan is going to make MOH BETTAH POWAH!

Hartage is estimating >400 to the wheels with their aggressive chip/injectors and 350 with their standard chip

Check out this broken BMW. I wonder if it had 75K miles of track time on the stock motor and tranny.

So lets just wait until the new is460 comes out. The one dubbed the M-Slayer and see where Bmw is at with that. Over 400hp v8. Most likely will be mated to the 8 speed transmission from the new ls. Lexus plus like 10000 bmw 0

[d993s]

You obviously have not been following this thread. Right?

If you had, you'd see that not only CAN many of the people not buying into this BMW supremacy theory AFFORD them, some have HAD them. So that part of your theory is totally without merit at all.

BTW, go find examples of "misinformed" for us please.

You are the best example of misinformed.
You are solely google and consumer reports-informed, besides not getting head at the BMW dealer (sure it happens a lot at Lexus though) and CR are the most retardedly biased SOBs I've ever seen.
Don't make me repeat myself.

but.... funny comment.

The only good way to own a BMW is to lease it. Warranty all the way through ownership, service agreement for most of it (includes everything but tires, and yes EVERYTHING ie:brakes, wipers, oil, all fluids,filters, etc etc). Well except for the 02 and 03 745's they have a 6yr 100k warranty and a 3 year 36,000 mile service agreement.

Are you sure it won't need a V16 with a 11 spd tranny to compete with the M cars?
Wannabe copycats are everywhere. It's a like a annoying chihuahua nipping at the ankles.
Why don't they concentrate on setting the standard, not copying it.
Lexus makes reliable (and very boring, isolated-from-driving) cars.
Not enough reason for me to buy one.
The cheezy "look guys, I'm a wannabe BMW" doesn't help either.

Reply'd. Sorry, I honestly don't watch this forum very much. Only reason I even got into this thread was DinanM3atl is actually my current roomate (moving out by the end of november), and it seemed quite funny at the time, so..... And here we be.

And they always will be. But what none of the bmw guys seem to understand is that not everyone wants a super sporty car. Some people like the extra comfort and longevity that can't be provided by a high-performance car.

To the BMW guys: This does not mean I don't like BMWs, I just don't understand why you think they are the best cars in the world; that is a purely subjective matter. Some people would say a Tundra is the best, or a Ferrari, it's just a matter of interests. In the end it doesn't matter what any person says about a car, the only thing that means anything is what you yourself like. Stop trying to convert everyone to BMW, it wont work, and why would you want it to? One of the reasons I love my car is because of the rarity, would you really love your car as much if everyone on the road drove the same damn thing? Doubt it.

You would be surprised, I browse Ferrarichat.com and there were a couple M3 and Porsche (not trying to single them out, but they were from a bmw site) guys on there mocking the Ferrari guys. I just don't understand it, I love all cars and have great respect for them. It's just a mystery to me why others, especially the older, wealthier crowd, can't do the same as a kid in his early 20s, I would think it would be the opposite.

Fer shizzle.
BMW guys prefer BMWs, Porsche guys prefer Porsches. It doesn't mean shit.
Being better is a combination of opinion vs what we look for in a car.
And all we do is point out the positives, and ignore the negatives to justify why we drive the cars we drive........isn't that how it goes?

I don't hate; I like all the specialty German cars (and even a few Japanese cars, Nissan mostly).
