Bone stock a 325i is more car than a loaded TSX ever will be to me. It is my choice. I am a driver, I love driving, and I don't care if my car has navi or a dvd system.
When I got into a 325i with only the sport package (~$32k) I didn't ever want to get out. It is such a thrill to drive that I could care less if the stupid thing is telling me what direction to go. I'll just keep driving it until I get lost on purpose so that I never have to go home. That's how the car makes me feel. Then I got into a 330i and I just said to myself "wow." I was simply speechless.
If you don't get into the 3 series and feel that way, then it isn't a car for you. But there is a reason that the 3 is more money and there is a reason why people continue to buy them regardless of how much their price increases; it's the way that the car makes them feel, it's the passion that they have for the car.
I have never ever felt this way about a car before, it's like love. I can't stop thinking about it. It's my baby and I have to defend it.

i just configured the 330i to have (almost) the same features as what our boy here chose. price as configured is 43,073. assuming you can wheel and deal down about 3k, you can have it for 2k more than he paid, with less options.
you may not want the options, but you have to compare apples to apples, cant mix fruits.
and are you serious? bmw's are nice, but you have to keep in mind the extra $$ you'll spend in maintanance over the years of owning it. my dad has one, and i love driving it, but not enough to keep shoveling money into that vehicle.
bmw has people by the balls, and their quality, along with most of the german vehicles, is going down quickly. the japanese have an obvious edge over everyone else in the market, hands down.
i wouldnt take the tsx at 38k, but i wouldnt take the bimmer at 40k either.
the only reason i wouldnt take the tsx at 38k is i dont want all those features.
i think overall, he coulda paid about 1500-2000 less for the car, and maybe saved a few hundred more on the accessories. so he really didnt get taken as bad as people thought.
a little more leg work, and he coulda had a better price.
say he's a consultant, entry level, and charges about 150-200/hr for his services....
time is money people. he got what he wanted at a price he's willing to pay.
allows the dealers to give me 2006 royal blue with navi for 27,500 plus tax!

those bling bling wheel options and in-car enterainment systems will quickly jack up the price of any car out the door. Throw in sales tax (which I thankfully didnt have to pay on mine) and I could see how the price could get that high.
I agree though, at under 30k the car is one of the better values out there. At 38k there's a few other appealing options.
BMW's are expensive, bottom line. A nicely equipped 06 325i (premium sound, xenon, leather, sunroof, blah blah blah) could easily hit 38k.
The 330's (the only one's I would bother looking at) comparably equipped to the TSX would be more like 42-45k, especially for the coupe. My TSX was 28,400.

Remember, not only TSX owners are looking at this forum/thread.
Yes, you have rights to say whatever you want. Just rememer, you are not only making yourself look stupid(which me and all the others can careless. what gives? you are a moron.), but you ALSO make thousands of other TSX owners look ignorant. Generalization isn't the best way to judge a community, but in current society, you have to deal with it. And in this case, you are the golden standard. Congradulations moron. Obviously, you are such a smartass, you aren't aware of this.
Thank god I met lots of cool Acura owners previously, even after hearing your stupid comment, I am not going to judge on all TSX owners and say they are all ignorant like you.
At age of 31, you sir, still talk like a 17 years old. I just feel bad for you. Wish you the best luck with your life, but seeing your attitude, I am not so sure how it'll work out.
Message below is for other TSX owners:
I hope all of us can establish a good relationship here. While I do understand not all BMW owners are friendly, some of them can be real cocky, I myself highly respect anything that is worth respecting. In this case, TSX is one of them. You guys have to realize though, try to limit morons like Jason running around the board and causing negative image to all the other automotive enthuasists.
I was a J30A1 enthuasist until it got totalled, and now own 2001 prelude & 2006 bmw 330i.
I know alot of people with Acura/Hondas. 5 of them owns RSXs(silver, blue, white, black, desert), one blue TSX, etc. I was also involved in local acura meet and a honda-tech meet. So I am very familiar with these cars and what they can do.
TSX is a well made car, possibly the best FWD handling sedan ever built. Only thing I don't like about TSX is that its underpowered. Heavy car with 200hp and no torque does NOT help. Otherwise, its design, awesome interior, reliability, great honda price tag, and resales make this car a bargain.
as a joke though, $38k for TSX? Oh, dear.

And for your entertainment I'll reiterate my position that I would take a TSX over a 3-series without hesitation. I get my second TSX this week.

No doubt he got a lot of features for $36,000 (before tax).
If I was spending that much on a new car, I doubt if the TSX would even blip my radar. I'd likely end up with a BMW 330i, Mercedes C350 Sport, or Lexus IS350!
I can't decide if I feel more sorry for him now, driving a TSX when he could have had one of these other machines, or in 3-4 years, when he goes to trade it in and finds out how much money he lost in depreciation.
Well, at least he's happy.

maybe it is worth it to some people
maybe the deal is worth it. what's wrong with 36k for a tricked out tsx? add all these features to the other cars mentioned, and you'll be well over that price.
i know someone like all these guys on the board. you say you're spending 30k on an acura....and they reply with...why don't you get a lexus, forgetting that the lexus is 34k comprably equipped. then you start adding taxes and all the options....all of a sudden your 10,000 deeper into a car.
not everyone wants a bmw or a lexus....bimmer owners cant seem to comprehend that.
he still got a great car at a great price. he added features that maybe not all of us would add, but it's still a great car.

for ME that is. If I had over 70k+ spend on a car, I would not settle for a bmw.
If I had over 400k to spend on a car, I would be driving a Ferrari, and looking down on MB/BMW owners.
Of course, except for the guy in this thread who bought TSX for 38k. Now, he is a true TSX lover.
but you are right. just "maybe" its worth it for some people. To each on their own.
TSX is a great car.

I'm still not sure why everyone is shocked about this purchase. It was $38K out the door which means it was more like $35K before tax. That's still too much money for a TSX but only by a few thousand or so. $2000 adds up pretty quickly with some of the other brands, and this guys ends up with a killer TSX. Next time try negotiating.

Obviously this guy had enough money. he did have nasty look on he's face, but hey, he still isn't complaining so much. what does that tell you? for me, it tells me the guy is bankin' and maybe, just maybe he was financially ready to buy a nicely loaded IS350 or mildly loaded bmw back home which he didn't.
And THAT tells me he LOVES the TS
X. I really want to see that 38k TSX though. lets see how it looks like. Does it have comfort access?

i did shop around for prices first.. anyway, it's a done deal because this is the lowest price i've found. i did manage to get a few bucks off on accessories, the 38k more like 37k~ now. time to write a check..

The thing is, it can be argued that BMWs are not great cars anymore. Don't get me wrong, I love the M3 and M5. the style is very sleek on all bimmers. The bottom line is: german cars have been going downhill for quite some time now and japanese cars are taking the edge in the quality department. and more often than not, it's not just spending "another 2,000" to get the cars you speak of, or you're giving up a lot of options.
the fact of the matter is, he got a great car for 37,000 including tax, a dealer installed dvd video system, the body kit, a set of wheels, etc. add custom wheels to the price of the beamer and see where the price goes....stop comparing a stock bmw or lexus to a loaded acura tsx. you aren't giving a fair argument either.

lol. I'll save everything i was going to say. Have fun with your souped up tsx. Don't get stuck in the small world, you can't see the big world.
Like the guy who thinks he could've gotten a M5(righttttt..) but wanted a "real car" and bought a FWD 4 door honda with 10pds of torque.
At least get a S2000 and say that. and that'll still be pretty funny.
Its almost funny as 3 series owners saying they could smoke M3s on the highway. or like that stupid M3 owner who lost the oil cap and stuck a sock in there instead.
