When you buy Chinese (or Korean, and even American) cars, you know how
they should advertise the their advantage
"You're always guaranteed that you'll ALWAYS be FIRST served in valet
services across hotels and golf clubs all over the world"
That's smart, isn't it?
Meaning your car looks so crappy they will drive them off before it
tarnishes the establishment's image! So there, LAST come, FIRST
served. Cool?
But anyway, here're my thoughts on BMWs and why they excel in so many
ways. Note that I'm referring primarily to coupes, convertibles, and
the M-series. The other ones are also sporty, but clearly appeals to a
different clientele.
(1) BMWs excel cross-culturally - for example, 2005 Scottish car of the
year.
http://www.designtaxi.com/news.jsp?id=1363&monthview=1&month=10&year=...
"the ASMW's [Association of Scottish Motoring Writers] ultimate motor
from more than **50** new models launched in the past 12 months is.....
The BMW 3 Series."
(2) Then there is this series of international clean sweeps - and this
is really incredible:
http://www.dancewithshadows.com/auto/bmw-engine-of-the-year.asp
BMW's record awards haul in full:
International Engine of the Year Award 2005
1 BMW 5.0-litre V10
2 BMW 3.0-litre twin-turbo straight-six diesel
3 Toyota 1.5-litre hybrid
Best New Engine Award 2005
1 BMW 5.0-litre V10
2 Ferrari 4.3-litre V8
3 Toyota 3.3-litre hybrid
Best Engine Above 4.0-litre Award 2005
1 BMW 5.0-litre V10
2 Ferrari 4.3-litre V8
3 VW 5.0-litre V10 diesel
Best Performance Engine Award 2005
1 BMW 5.0-litre V10
2 Ferrari 4.3-litre V8
3 Mercedes AMG 6.0-litre twin-turbo
Best Engine 2.5-litre to 3-litre Award 2005
1 BMW 3.0-litre twin-turbo straight-six diesel
2 Honda 3.0-litre hybrid
3 BMW 3.0-litre straight-six
Best Engine 3.0-litre to 4.0-litre Award 2005
1 BMW 3.2-litre straight-six
2 Porsche 3.8-litre
3 Toyota 3.3-litre hybrid
Note especially the Performance Engine Award 2005 above - it beat the
NEW engine of Ferrari, the 604 hp Mercedes SL 65 bi-turbo. And what is
not quoted above in 4th place was the Porsche 911 Carrera S 3.8 engine
- a very
fine engine by any standard - yet only 4th place!
(3) BMW 3-series is the 2006 WORLD car of the year:
http://www.dexigner.com/product/news-g7798.html
Out of **27** -- TWENTY SEVEN -- competitors! What are the chances of
that?
(4) Guess which of the following is the best drift car? (From SPEED
magazine (Road & Track)
http://shop.roadandtrack.com/index.asp?PageAction=VIEWPROD&ProdID=332 (
Acura NSX
BMW M3
Dodge Viper
Ford Mustang GT
Mazda MX-5
Nissan 350Z
Pontiac GT0
Porsche 911
Just look at the competition! Whoa!
All the above (1), (2), (3), (4) translates into fun stories like the
following:
(A) http://www.m5board.com/vbulletin/showthread.php?p=753486
"I was torn on whether to post because it seemed so juvenile and lame,
but a friend said I should post because of my wife's comments...
I was in the M5 w/ my wife and driving on a very open stretch of road
that I enjoy 'opening' the M5 a little. I came up behind a Mustang
Cobra (either '03 or '04) and as soon as I did, he punched it to 'play'
a little.
Ahead was a stoplight and it turned red, so we both came to a stop. As
it turned green, be both slowly left the light, then I heard his engine
go WOT and saw his hood lurch up a little. I nailed it, and just blew
by
him... totally dusted him and let off at around 70 or 80 mph. My wife
looks at me and
says in an elevated voice, "What are you doing!?" I said, "Just playing
with that
Mustang." She says, "But HE WASN'T EVEN PLAYING WITH YOU!"
I said, "Um, yes he was..." and was laughing hard inside. He was beaten
so fast, that she couldn't even tell that he was trying. haha
It's kind of a weak "kill" story, but my wife's comments made me
laugh."
(B) BMW drivers just get it more often
http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/4891758/
"BERLIN - BMW drivers have more sex than owners of any other cars and
are much more active than Porsche drivers, a new German car magazine
has found.
The German magazine "Men's Car" found in a survey of 2,253
motorists aged 20 to 50 published in its inaugural May issue that male
BMW drivers say they have sex on average 2.2 times each week while
Porsche drivers have sex 1.4 times per week.
Following BMW drivers were Audi (2.1), Volkswagen (1.9), Ford (1.7) and
Mercedes (1.6). Drivers of foreign car makes were also behind BMW with
Italian cars (2.0), French (1.9), Japanese (1.8), Swedish (1.6) and
Korean cars (1.5) trailing after."
Now.....Japanese cars are junk.
Toyota, Lexus are the cheapskate junk.
Say it.
Any way....BMW are nothing when compared
with...say Ferrari.
If you watch the weekly BBC program on cars....
BMW is at the bottom of the list of good cars...
in terms of performance.
It is a car for ego trips by the young upstarts...who
have not make it yet.

All right, I'll say it. You guys are all so juvenile.

CHINESE and KOREAN cars are SHIT!

Lambos are better than Ferraris, and BMWs are better than Chinese and
Korean cars for sure. There is just no comparison. Get those with
M-packages or M-series or the coupes though, not your run-of-the-mill
sedan. Porsches are nice, because (1) not too loud so you can go
anywhere with it [unlike Ferraris and you don't really want people to
be looking at you all the time at gas stations, or in hotels, clubs,
right?, and it's not a matter of price - the turbos and the Ferrari are
pretty close in price range actually] and (2) very good handling. BMWs
are more refined and sacrifice only minimally compared to porsches, and
are best looked at as a decathlon athlete. Mercedes drivers are all
pretense - you may as well get your cheap Lexus (your view) or
Infiniti. And Mercedes are so unrealiable. Unless you get the AMG
version (e.g. SL 55 AMG, SL 65 AMG etc), don't bother.
Who asked you ?
You are a big mouth.
Japanese cars are cheap skate junk.
Chinese and Korean cars are cheap and
good.
You prefered BMW .....over Japanese cars !!!
It is telling,....your arse is exposed.
Ha ha ha ha
A man with a very short memory, I see.

Look whose talking.

BMW = Brings Me Women

How about:
BMW = boring man whiner
Don't you just hate it when after you spend hours detailing your boss's
BMW, he still go over wiping it with his hanky?
Guess if your boss made you drive a Red Flag you'd be here posting how
great Red Flags are and how BMW's sux.
I see a lot of Chinese waiters and cooks tooling around in BMW's.
Guess tips must be good and they think it's a Caddillac.
Don't know any Chinese cooks or waiters, and I don't drive BMW or
Cadillic. I just love my Ford Ranger truck. It's cheap and
economical.
As an educational point, beemer refers to the BMW bikes, while bimmer
refers to the cars. BMWs are hardly prestige anymore, but they still do
handle well compared to most other cars. I don't mind getting a (cheap)
Nissan Z, even less prestige, for it rides well and drifts well. Bottom
line, get car for yourself, not for your neighbor (unlike, say, how
mainland Chinese always wear 3-piece suits on *vacation*, like black
ghetto people also, always dressing *up* on casual occasions!!). Cars
are like women. Get one that's fun 'n' fine to drive hard.
Confucius he says: "It is important not to confuse the yang's waste
products with the yang's qi, for the former can be produced by
imbibement while the latter is generated by yin; the two can easily be
distinguished according to differences in color, volume, and
viscosity."
Confucius he says, "Release your essence and qi three times a day,
once upon awakening, once at lunch, and once before bed, to ensure good
health and longevity".
Confucius he says: "Our universe is harmonious and always about
balance;
too much is no good, too little is no good either. Youth is
characterized by an exuberance of qi; a controlled and measured release
of qi three times a day is healthy and promotes longevity. Old age is
characterized by qi-depletion; conservation is therefore in order. This
age-related attrition of qi may be remedied by a commitment to imbibe
the fresh qi of youth, at least three times a week, either thru the
oral or rectal route, for regeneration and rejuvenation purposes."

Verno
Like hookers?
Then that's time to get a new one!
It really show....You lacked the qualities
women desire....
Obviously you lacked good look, attractive
personality,...witty brain,...suave and charming
behaviour.....
You needed a car to bring woman to
you.....
Poor shit....it must be miserable.....
Is this the reason why you give yourself a
cheap name...RichAsianKid....
Tell you a secret.....use your brain if
you have any!
Er, like, tell me when a good car is a detriment, all other factors
equal. When is it a minus? Unless you drive a Chinese car, that is!
Hahahaa. (Re-read my car commercial thread).
Besides, women always say guys are superficial, caring about looks and
not their *personality*? I guarantee you women are every bit like us.
You're not really falling for that, are you?
Too much is never enough. So please, use me.
> Besides, women always say guys are superficial, caring about looks and

Oh....I see...... Even your pick-up women told you
...in your face....that you don't have "personality"!
How insulting of your pick-ups...
Poor you..... my sympathy !
You deleted my "Er, like, tell me when a good car is a detriment, all

Women jokes of not caring for *their* personality are often probably
not jokes.
And yes, I'm that poor little rich kid. I thank you for your kindness.
Haha, surely you must be joking.
