But our cars ARE something special in the automotive world.

The E90 is the World Car of the Year for 2006!

I check out other cars all the time, regardless of their price. I just like cars a lot. There are cheapers cars out there that I think look very good, and there are plenty of expensive ones that I think are just a POS.

I agree w/ Nikki though -- other than the 6 series or the M3, there's no other BMW I would own. I don't want to ride around in a big sedan, I'd rather have something quick and nimble. Since I can't have 2 cars right now (so no Lotus Elise, Honda S2000, or Porsche Cayman) this 330i is perfect for me

Unless I can get my hands on an M3...

canucklion · 05-24-2006, 05:06 PM

hey, no argument from me regarding my 330's worth to me

I LVOE it.
Yes, it did garner the award for the car of the year, and I'm proud of it, BUT, as I and many others have pointed out, it's nothing special in that it's a mass production car, it's not a rarity on the road where people would snap their neck trying to catch a glimpse, y'know?

That's nothing. One time I was relaxing on the highway cruising at a cool 155mph, when a gang of supercars creeped up on me. As I was looking at the rear view, I could see a McLaren F1 LM coming up fast. He was accompanied by a Gumpert Apollo and an Invicta S1-600, trailing close behind them were three Enzo Ferraris and a Caparo T1!

Of course, as soon as they pulled up to me, they barricaded me of sort, and I scoffed. I gave the guy in the F1 a nod of acknowledgement, but I could see that he was too busy drooling (along with the other drivers) to pay attention to me. So, I blasted the throttle, got to 279mph in 3.5 seconds, and left them in the dust.

Shortly after, I had to fill the beast with some gas, and all of them showed up. They were like, "WOW!" and "DAMN!". I laughed all the way home.

That is 1000% nonfiction.

With all due respect, unless you are handicapped you have no business parking in front of a store, no matter how briefly you "plan" to be in there. It is extremely selfish. It causes havoc in the parking lot.

The F430 is the Civic of Ferrari.

Who gives a flying fu*k!

I'll take a f430 over an Enzo ANY DAY....I just love that car!:rocks:

I'll tell you one thing, you know you love your car when you park it, and then stare at it as you walk away.....when you stop doing that, you've lost the lust.

bmwbenz0101 · 05-24-2006, 09:21 PM

HAHA!!!I Have a CLK500 and i constantly creep up on BMW 3 series..EVEN 325's!!!Lol the 335i is my next car and I love BMWs and Mercedes so....I get a ton of looks in my car too. The CLK500 is sexy...outpowers the three series..is more luxurious...but does not touch the 3 series in sporty soul. That feelin as you change lanes in a BMW or take a tight turn is something that cannot be replicated. BMW has the secret formula and lexus or BMW will never come close.

canucklion · 05-24-2006, 09:24 PM

Son of a ....., that was me in the F1 giving you the nod, I thought you didn't see me

But seriously, has anyone else noticed anything similar with their E90's?

It is always a pleasant reminder everytime we go downtown to eat since there are alot of tourist walking around and they notice.
