Joseph22 Turbocharged July 20, 2010 Share July 20, 2010 BMW cars are trendy, nicely designed and stylish. that is why kids to young bengs to lao bengs love them. for example, the sunshine empire beng salesmen... all driving BMW "524".. i always see white or black 5 series running around with black rims and loud exhausts.. damn the bloody bengs always ruin good things.... sibeh sian.. hope they all go over to buy audi, then i can buy BMW again... the current design look very plain leh. not consider trendy. But its very true, Financial Planner like to buy them. but i notice, a lot of Property Agent like Merc and Volvo while Managers prefer Audi. ↡ Advertisement Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RadX Moderator July 20, 2010 Share July 20, 2010 im open to all brands but... to be honest with the current design style of BMW... im not interested... tell me abt it.......i still say the e39was the best...thereafter it was downhill for bmw Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ferraricalifornia 1st Gear July 20, 2010 Share July 20, 2010 no wonder Topgear say "only cocks drive BMW, especially the M3, but they have moved on to the Audi RS4 having been termed the c--k, leaving those who are brave to weather the storm of hatred, to know how good the M3 is a good car to drive." they also refer to the 3-Series as "some 15ft of car"....very boring and passionless.... and i totally agree with the above statement.... i've seen more and more tuned up 5-series with oversized chrome rims, ferocious bodykits, blackened out glasses, modified exhaust, etc.... and i especially find the 7-Series pig nose very hideous....

Stanley30949 Neutral Newbie July 20, 2010 Author Share July 20, 2010 got so serious meh? atrocious? to me v simple... other than slk from the mercs lineup, bmw for me anyday......or at least for my age..... c class or 3er? latter eclass? look so sonata from rear zzz Yes bro. I am very serious when it comes to cars. hahah That is your opinion, but somehow or other none of the BMW ever hit my Nerve. I think next to Mercedes would be Audi or even the new Jaguars.

Miles 4th Gear July 20, 2010 Share July 20, 2010 (edited) tell me abt it.......i still say the e39was the best...thereafter it was downhill for bmw ditto... E39 remains the best BMW design of all.... designed by Joji Nagashima and signed off by Claus Luthe .. before Chris Bangle took over. Incidentally, Joji Nagashima was also responsible for the classic E36, the mediocre E90 and the horrible Z3.

I think next to Mercedes would be Audi or even the new Jaguars. The XF is awesome! To me, the best Jaguar design of all is the E type. The best Ferrari design of all is the Dino. The best Merc design of all is the 300SL The best Audi design of all is the A3 mk1 (3door) Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Porker Turbocharged July 20, 2010 Share July 20, 2010 (edited) I remember one pro mercedes dude here once told another forum member that the jerking of gear change from the autobox is part of the design.

People always say BMW alot of electronics but when i compare to Jaguar or Audi or Merc i ask what electronics????? Interior too plain jane... Not even luxurious Even my 8 yr old E39 520 got plenty of electronics. My alternator konk b4. Practically everything shut down. Left with 1 gear to drive only. Electronics does not mean what u can see. It also includes things u can't see. Eg, on my car, there is a check light module. Rear brake lite bulb blow & i will get a warning sound i start up the car.

Porker Turbocharged July 20, 2010 Share July 20, 2010 Lets keep it civil and private. Don't want to start a war. Yeah I really do think the ZF gearboxes used in BMWs are damn good for a conventional auto. DSG where got jerky? Super smooth! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Porker Turbocharged July 20, 2010 Share July 20, 2010 I thought that is miscommunication!! No lah he was trying to justify the crap gearbox as part of the design. You like the brand is one thing.. Cannot like and be blind to the flaws also. I think the current Z4 looks like s h i t myself being a BMW supporter ↡ Advertisement Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
