BMW marketing seems to attract younger drivers, whereas MB seems to still attract more of the older crowd. Again, that's what I've observed around here, anyway.

Funny, but also expected, how you keep hanging around in this forum. It's all good. Haven't see your write anything about your new wheel. Why don't you post one?
Weak rebuttal #2.
Here is a picture anyway

My favorite bimmer drivers are the guys that can barely afford one, but get it because its a status symbol. You can tell who they are at the club. They pull up in front of the door for valet so everyone sees them get out of it. Then they walk around the club with the same drink all night because they can't afford more than one due to the overpriced car payment.....or lease because they couldn't afford to actually own it.

Can you say Shelby Cobra GT500? Gimmie the car below - with its close to 500 bhp - so that I can scare the crap out of the idiot Bimmer owners and the pretentious MILFS like the one I saw today...

Here in Calif Bay Area, especially Silicon Valley, you see huge numbers of high-end cars of all kinds, including exotics. There are more Boxsters than Miatas, more Bimmers than Buicks. In my opinion the BMW 5-series drivers are THE worst--way more annoying than Porsche, M3, Corvette drivers, or drivers of any other fast cars.

I just unfortunately don't have the money to pay for one nor the insurance As to the C6 Z06, yeah, it's nice, but the Ford GT supercar (a more accurate competitor) will blow its doors off in acceleration and handling, just like Ford smoked Ferrari in the late 60s - three years in a row and 1st, 2nd and 3rd places.
Then there's the Shelby GR-1 (soon to see production)...
Once again, Ford outmuscles GM.

You Serious? Most BMW owners here in Seattle are either Medical Doc's or Lawyers, Here its the Subaru drivers that drive like numbnuts! It must be from all the PowerBars that they eat!

Summer is Coming
I've been a regular on these boards for awhile researching and waiting for the 06's to come out, learning valuable things from many of you. I can honestly say I'm pretty shocked at this thread. It is very much out of character for this board. I have seen plenty of this sort of thing on other boards and frankly it brings the whole level of respect down. I'm surprised a moderator didn't close it.. but then I see moderators joining in the name calling. If you want to find jerks all you have to do is look in this thread. I've spent a fair amount of time in 3-series threads also and they don't stoop to the name calling and car bigotry I see in this thread. Frankly I have a lower opinion of TSX owners after reading this. Funny how someone in a TSX takes a video of himself racing on the public streets... at night... going close to 100 mph and all here cheer.... yet those same people will accuse drivers of cars they appearently are jealous they can't afford of speeding. There are many ways to be jerks in your cars. Loud exhausts are one of my favorites. I find many inconsiderate drivers out there and they drive all sorts of cars. If there were as many TSX's on the road as 3-series I'm sure people would think TSX drivers are jerks too. This thread serves no purpose. Someone please close it.

I hang out with alot of BMW and Audi owner's due to the fact I own an 03 A4 as well. TBO, they praise my TSX for the stock power it has and it's plush interior. I oftenly go to their meets in my TSX and get respect from these guys, and believe it or not some of them are still JDM owners with imports that are faster than their Euro's. Not all Bimmer drivers are jerks, IMO, and honestly there are some TSX'ers that are jerks too. I've tried to give a thumbs up to a TSX'er the other day and he just had his nose in the air like he was something else.

[QUOTE=stogie1020]Lots of Jetta drivers were like that when they first came out with the ?last? body style.QUOTE]
jetta drivers suck. although in respect to BMW drivers (my dad owns a 645 ci) its usually the young guys and teenagers with older 3's and 5's that put on fake bages and are really cocky/rude about their driving
. its got something to do with being YOUNG and having a german engineered luxury car. and women are just poor drivers period. (great hellen keller joke on that). everyone i know whos older and has either a 6-series or 7-series (and some 5-series) are good drivers and nice guys. but yeah i do agree, that their are a lot of 3-series drivers that are a**holes 
(whats the ACURAZINE cursing rule?)...

as much as i love being back in la, the traffic and drivers are just as bad as anywhere else. doesn't help when people want to drive their nice new 325 in the left lane at 60 mph on their cell phone.btw, have bmw and mb developed any interval-based illumination technology yet? nevermind, i guess i wouldn't be able to tell anyway....

In my mind (may not be true for most other current/previous BMW owners
) I don't agree that just because I have something that maybe on average more "superior" means the owner/user is also "superior".

Former BMW owner
I owned a 2003 325 and only kept it a year and a half. Didn't trust it (3 recalls), got a speeding ticket from a cop who seemed to have a real attitude for BMW drivers, and just didn't like the arrogance associated with the BMW "mystique". Traded it for a new Honda accord V6 with more power and more peace of mind. I'll never go German again.
