BMW fanatics

Has anyone browsed through some of the kill stories on e46.com? I love the 330's, but some of those guys think their cars are the fastest thing this side of a Lambo! We have our fair share of guys who think the CL will take anything under the sun, but those Bimmer guys are nuts. At least here, most folks admit when they've lost to someone. I've run a couple 330's and auto/auto, it has been virtually dead even every time. Not hating on BMWs or e46.com posters, but there is definately some BS being tossed around over there.

Oh well, to each their own. Truth be told, if I had wanted to plunk down another 10G's, I'd be rolling a 330 too.





Oh yea, I'm just complaining because I don't have a bimmer and dirve a "rebadged Honda"

Nothing, that's my point. Just being sarcastic because some people automatically jump on the "rebadged Honda" trip as soon as you start making comparisions to BMW etc.

330s and CLS are both sweet cars and well matched racing.

We talk trash here too. If you are referring to race stories, sometimes "we" win races that aren't easy wins and we post about it because we are psyched and people call BS. And then all the trolls from other forums come over to defend someone that f*cked up in a race and lost.

heh heh...that is may favorite part. When the other people come over to lecture us about the 500hp they have out of their Saturn SC1.

I actually have never gone over to another forum to brag about a kill. It seems like that would be a lot of work for nothing.

I would have been willing to put down more bones but just couldn't get past the "snob factor" with those cars. The sales rep seemed like he was doing me a favor by letting me sit in the leather seats. What an A-hole!

I'll take the CL over the 330 any day!
