After 200 posts, I am a loser

underDAWG · 01-05-2006, 10:02 AM

Well…. After 200 posts, I am a loser

because:

1. I have no E90,
2. I have not ordered mine
3. I haven’t driven one

There you have it, I am a phony.

peakpro · 01-05-2006, 10:14 AM

not a loser...just patient....

E90Fleet · 01-05-2006, 10:16 AM

Took me 10 times the posts before I could order one

shimshimhada · 01-05-2006, 10:16 AM

After 917 posts:

1. I have no E90.
2. I have not ordered mine.
3. I haven’t driven one for more than 20 seconds.

Mono · 01-05-2006, 10:16 AM

Guess I am too. I like to think of it as doing ample research before I spend $40K on a depreciating asset. I don't own an E90 either, but I put that in my signature. I am also an active participate in the G35 discussion forums and I don't own one of those. The G35 is a wonderful car and priced very competitively.

For a while, I was an active user of the IS350 discussion forums. However, since driving the IS350, I decided the car just too small for my needs. Lexus really screwed up the rear seat room in the new IS and driver visibility is horrible. I can't understand why they didn't stretch the IS just two or three inches longer to allow for decent rear seat room. It's not a coupe, it's a four door sedan!

The first step is admitting you have a problem...

vladinecko · 01-05-2006, 11:45 AM

oh common man, how does any of this make you a looser? that's just a ridiculous thing to say! saying something like "i'm an undecided observer of a vehicle i prefer over others and my current unfavorable situation is guiding me to stay in that position for some more time until i am positively sure and ready to make a forward step in acquiring that vehicle for myself," that would've been a lot more appropriate to say.

Are you actually planning on buying any car?

Appropriate but not as easy.

What is wrong with reasearching the subject first?

I posted 100 times at Lexus IS forum, before make my mind.

Chesmu · 01-05-2006, 04:52 PM

agreed. research is good... but at some point you gotta take the plunge. atleast go to a dealer and drive one

Hello, my name is underDAWG and I don't have an E90...

Hello underDAWG...

All joking aside, I did a poll a while back on what E90's people drive (IIRC 330i won), and we have a few other members who don't have E90's (some are planning on it, and some are just here 'cause they like to hang out). It's not a big deal. As long as you don't start bashing the E90!!

underDAWG · 01-05-2006, 05:23 PM

Hehehe...... ..... I have done plenty of research and may be too much

I am just dragging my feet to see if 335Ci is coming soon. I guess waiting for a few more months is really no big deal for me. Unlike many of you, I keep my car for a long time and I like to drive the car until it dies

As for the test drive of a E90, I will when I’m ready to order one. But the purpose of test drive for me is not to determine if I should buy E90 or not. When it comes to sport sedan or couple, I only like BMW. If I am still in love with my E30, I am sure I will be happy with the E90 when I get one.

One thing for sure, I was surprise that I haven’t ordered mine yet. I guess I just envy those driving their E90.

Don't give me any idea, I may start bashing the E90 owner who are complaining about their non-BMW loaner car.

bavarian19 · 01-05-2006, 05:26 PM

I had a total of about 2500 posts at bimmerfest before I ordered my E90.

I was originally going to order an e46 325i, and I decided to save my cash for a house. I continued to waste my time on the boards, becoming very familiar with BMW's. As soon as the E90 brochure was leaked, I knew I was going to order one. So I finally got around to ordering my E90 in August...

This may it will be 3 years of wasting my time there, and it was 2.5 years until I ordered my BMW

bavarian19 · 01-05-2006, 05:29 PM

underdwag, I wish you were not the biggest liar I have ever met... You have 202 posts, and your title reads 200 posts... :mad:

Thankfully I never have that problem.

Don't worry UnderDAWG - "there's no need to fear". You are as welcome here as anyone. I wish I could be a patient a shopper as you!

Traveler · 01-05-2006, 06:39 PM

I guess this is a good time to show myself since I've been lurking for a while. I'm a G35 driver that's researching a potential E90 purchase.
It's hard to justify getting rid of the G but a new E90 sure is attractive. This is post #1 for me. How many more will it take before I take the plunge?
