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?
But why should we have to justify why we drive the cars we drive?

IDK?? I have to justify it to myself at least. I guess you have to be able to justify your own decisions in your own mind. umm. yeah, idk where the fcuk I was going wiht that, lol. Sorry.
Haha, justifying it to yourself is fine, but why should anyone give a damn what someone else thinks?

IDK. Hell, I owned 2 E28's (80's 5 series BMW's), and let me tell you, NOBODY shows you any love for them except for that hard-core BMW enthusiets. I'd get asked all the time 'why do you drive such an old boxy bmw???'
Same with me man, no one know's what my car is and no one understands why I love it so much. To everyone else it's just an old POS Mazda.

What do you drive? And meh, the E28's are alright. I don't think I'd buy another unless I could pony up $4k+for a mint perfect one. If maintenence has been neglected, omfg they'll break you, lol. They aren't like a 3 series, where the maintenence is at least minimal. Figure every 80k, front end needs to be completely rebuilt, same with front and rear suspension, every 60k whole cooling system needs a rebuild, crazy thigns can come out of left field if the car wasn't maintained or hacked together previous. My 533i for example. Previous owner chopped the cats out, and didn't even put the O2 sensor back!!! I mean, it ran fine without it, I even got 33 mpg with that brick on the highway, but ya know..... Stereo has to be 100% rewired to put anything aftermarket it, cause the old stock stuff used a common ground setup, god damn, I could go on and on, lol.
Buy a BMW - stick to E30's, E34's, and if you wanna just daily maybe a E36 if you can afford it, or a track car, an M. I can't afford to maintain any other BMW, those are the most relaiable for a regular odl working person. OTOH, an M5 of any body style would pwn, again, if I could afford the maintenence. The M5 was made for those who could afford them, and those who could afford them ONLY. The S38 inline 6 is a $15k+ rebuild top to bottom, with just stock parts.
Easy to answer...
Old Boxy BMW > Chris Bangle Turdheap
Couldn't have said it better myself. Although, other than a ton of E36's, and a efw E46's, I've enver actuall;y driven a Bangle turd heap. Yes, Mr. Bangle was quite involved with the design of the E36, he just wasn't head of design yet. I think thats party why that car falls apart pre-maturely around the drivetrain.
Well obviously that's what were doing with these stupid arguments. Are we not?
Your completely right. And I've noticed, even with myself, it's crazy, BMW people and Audi/VW people have more hate for each other's marque than BMW peeps have for japanese cars, lol.
Well DUH!
It's like Toyota or Mitsu vs Honda (Audi or VW vs BMW).
I don't hate; I like all the specialty German cars (and even a few Japanese cars, Nissan mostly).
speak for yourself man, i love all cars pretty much equally, regardless of what i drive. i think being a snob about what kind of car you drive vs other cars and their owners is retarded and
