I frequent all types of discussion boards, but I think you'll find the most knowledgeable car buffs here at Azine which is why I keep coming back.

just because i dont understand why anyone would buy a 325 over a G35c.
sure i know bmw engineering and this and that.. ultimate driving Machine... So? how many ppl actually take their BMW to the track? majority of them just use them to go from point A - B.
i m thinking about getting a 335... not because it is a BMW.... but because for 45k, it offering performance that is hard to beat with alot of potentials.

Well after drivng both, i would have to pick the 328 over the new G35 sedan. G35 just didnt handle as well and the steering wasnt as tight. Plus the brakes felt MUCH better on the 328.
But you do get a lot for your money in the G35 if you like technology. But for driving experience i would take the 328.

if your buying 328 simply because you enjoy driving, track or autox, then yah buying an underpowered 328 fits you.
but you have to understand Majority of the ppl who buy 328/325 are not like that....

[QUOTE=daemonicus]dont understand? it's called personal preference, buddy.
how many people actually take their S2Ks to the track? how many people take their RSX to the track? how many people take their M6 to the track? not many, the number of people that buy a daily driver so that they can take it to the track on the weekends is miniscule compared to people that buy a daily driver so that...wait...i think i've got it...yep...so that they can drive it daily. shocker, eh?
QUOTE]
Exactly personal preferences... "i said i DONT understand". living here in so cal, most of my friends drive bmws and benz..
please dont compare s2000 with 325/328...i am talking about badge snobs here... s2000 is still a honda, and i dont think ppl who buy s2000 are trying to impress anyone. It is not luxurous, not fast, no brand recognition.
However, only ppl on the forums knows why s2000 is so famous.
the bottom line is Do you agree Majority of the ppl who buy 325/328 is because of the BMW badge? the keyword is Majority.

The BMW is an abosolutely gorgeous piece of machinery (problems and lack of reliability aside)
The acuras are nice too, but do not have what the bmw has in terms of looks and prestige (they do have the reliability going for them)
BMW is definitely a step up from the Acura, but I don't think it's a step up when you go from a TSX to a base model bmw.....in that case you are trying to buy the nameplate with none of the options and features that the nameplate is known for....a second reason might have to do with the fact that the base model bmw give you nothing.
A real step up would be to Lexus.
BTW I own a tsx and love it. I love BMW styling, but refuse to put up with reliability concerns. My next car would definitely be a Lexus!

i dont even have an Acura.
matter of fact, i dont even like TL.... i promised myself never buying a FWD, ohio made acura after my CLS. (2001)

You don't buy a TL for the "Ultimate Driving Experience" . You buy the BMW for that but with the TL you get more car for your money. Personally at first I didnt like the E90/E92 but after seeing the coupe I'm liking it more but still wouldnt buy one. For the price of a 335i, I'd rather buy a E46 M3 but I do hear that the 335i is underrated power wise. I'm not gonna act like I know anything about BMW but most people who do buy it , do it for status not for what the slogan says.
The slammed cadillac comment was quite amusing...Throw some D's on that bitch

If you have nothing intelligent to add to this thread, GTFO.
now none of the E90 guys come onto Acurazine and bash acuras but i'll be willing to bet that E90's newest member (AMGala) wants to start something with them. good luck, bud. we'll see how long you last.

You drive what you like, not what others tell you to drive. I know some BMWs can be a nightmare, but that aside, it brings a smile to my face whenever I drive it. It has nothing to do what I drive, but just the feel of the car and the precise steering. A step up would really be a Porsche. The Lexus is also a great car, but just doesn't have the great road feel. Of course it makes up for it in other departments.

Why cant you like both cars. I think there both nice looking cars and even though I have a TL myself I will admit that the bmw is better looking (then again im not sure I would say the same about a 3G I think that would be a tie in my opinion.) Everyone seems to be making a war between the BMW and acura but I mean who cares? Some poeple like acura and some people like bmw thats just how it is. I dont mean to sound all lovey dovey but do we really need to agure this?

Come on guys.. what other ppl think is not important.. what is important is what you think. When I post my M roadster here a while back, many ppl said it is ugly and criticized Bangle style. Does it matter to me? NO, to me my M roadster is still the best looking roadster =) and most fun to drive car. People are different, otherwise we are all robots.
I hate to say it but I have to agree with them that 2nd Gen TL is UGLY!!! TL and CLs are boats. their turning radius is size of a football field.... They are good daily drivers, but not fun cars to drive at all.

my CL-S was gorgeous and a blast to drive. and I certainly wouldn't call the 2G TL ugly.
