Ok Car Nerdvigs... What do you guys think of BMWs?

[dabuffguy]

I have a Viper and a Duramax Diesel. Nice looking but compared to the ride of our Beamer is night and day

Comparing an 8.0L V10 race car to the smoothness of a german luxury sedan is retarded.

Part of the purposed allure of the viper is to feel raw and brutally fast.

I've driven a Viper, and have a V10 BMW M5 and they are so completely different machines in every single way.

The M5 feels smooth as glass at any speed up to 170 mph. The viper sticks just fine at high speed, but it was more like driving a stiff go-cart past 120.

From a suspension standpoint, the viper handles significantly better because it weighs about 800 lbs less, but the M5 just drives exactly how you want, and does it so smooth and comfortably where the viper feels raw and unchained.

You don't need to be a baller to not drive a faggot-mobile.

What is it with you and ultra pussy toyota cars pick?

Seriously, go sell that faggot crap and buy something of equal value that doesn't scream "I don't have a cock."

Ouch, I'm in a blunt mood.

I wonder if Plunk has considered the big Jaguar? I mean, he already has a relationship with the mechanic... Jags ride smooth, if smoothness is his primary concern.

My wife wants me to look at the big Jaguar. My next door neighbor has one and it looks great.

M6 coupe


or X6?

The coupe.

They've got a really nice looking one at the dealership. The top and interior is almost all carbon fiber.

BMWs probably have the nicest ride out of any of the German luxury sedans. You can tell that they put painstaking detail into how the torque band affects the driving experience. The ride is super refined - the cars extremely well balanced weight wise (notice how the front and rear brake rotors are nearly the same size - not common with most cars). That being said, its not uncommon to deal with minor annoyances like lack of cupholders, strange intermittent issues with electrical systems (not everyone gets these). At least the service warranty covers everything. You would probably experience more issues with the Range Rover from a reliability standpoint.

The Mercedes feels like a heavier car and looks like it appeals to a slightly older crowd. Ive heard that Mercedes has the highest reliability of German cars.

Audi - I cant say much about them except they are gaining steam. The interiors have a gaudiness to them that feels slightly American car to me. Might be worth a test drive.

I have heard that a lot with the electrical issues. It's purely anecdotal but anyone I know with a BMW spends seemingly more time in the shop.

Overpriced hype?

No better than a Lexus?

Why not a benz?

Discuss.

I need some input. I'm days away from ordering a new Range Rover.

love mine, buying another for the summer ... but i trade every 2 yrs or so... so i might not be the person to ask.. as for the benz...

same pricing basically, but the bmw has a 10 yr warranty against rust..

and i'm not willing to admit to being that old.. it's like buying and driving a Cadillac, i'm just not old enough yet

Yep. That car is a pain in the ass. However, it does provide good trade in value. I'm going to a get a "Japanese" car.
