Are we seriously debating serial bus protocols as reasons to like or dislike a car? LMAO.

I knew this thread would spiral out of control when the first hint of money was mentioned.

So much hate. People need to go back to P&N and blow off steam.

You are even a bigger retard than the one who started this argument.

Oh, and welcome to ATOT Garage.

This got derailed pretty quickly
Honestly, I don't know why the assholes kept mistaking this for P&N or OT, it's GARAGE, where people or enthusiasts talk about cars stuffs. If you know nothing about cars, just STFU and move on.

Would I buy a 335i? Yeah I just got mine last Oct.

It's a great car and I am loving it. I used to drive an Acura 3.2 TL, and this was a huge step up in pure power. The force that push your back to the seat when you accelerate is amazing. I also drove an Benz E320, it's comfortable but lack the same power.

Both BMW and Benz have their quality issue. That's why you always want to get a warranty no matter buying new or used. If you want quality, buy Japanese. But let me just tell you from experience that chick digs European cars more

Apparently the tax credit for the 335d is only $900 now, which sucks.

I'm really stunned that the -is isn't going to offer an LSD for the money you're laying out, it's almost criminal. Aftermarket is an option, but it's an expensive proposition.

I would go CPO all the way just for the better warranty. You can get a nicely equipped 07-08 for mid-low 30's. Sports package is a must just for the seats.

Audi's are nice nice too, but their availability on the used market is extremely limited compared to BMW's. I would consider an Audi, but it's almost 100 miles to the nearest dealership. BMW is half a mile away.

I can guarantee that I'll put ANY Mercedes into limp mode if you trail me on a mountain path. And my car only has a measly 225 BHP, take me up on that challenge?

You drive a fucking 330CI, not an Ariel Atom. Mountain path? Are you another one of those wanna-be backroad racers or something or do you have any real competitive driving experience? You do realize what an idiot that made yourself sound like right?

It's alright if you don't know how to drive. Talking like a true passenger, you are.

This is not me of course, but just to show you how capable this car is. The 330Ci's engine in the vid is bone stock, the only upgrades were better bushings, brakes.

This is my playground, care to join?. Funnily enough, I'm being chased by an AMG. The camera ran out of space passed the camping folks, after that I took the lead, and the Mercedes went into limp mode not long after. But yes, I do realize how much of an idiot I sound like, I mean, track time? Don't talk to you about track time. Track time?

Please make sure you post the vid when one of you head-ons another car because you lost it around a corner, that's the one I want to see.

And just when you thought it doesn't get more ridiculous...



I still wub you Skoorb.

Hey, what do you guys think of me getting an e46M3, and turn it into my very own CSsnaiL? If you ever see an M3 bearing that plate, you can either walk up to the driver, punch him in the face or shake his hands. :awe:

chased by an amg? you mean followed by a sedan( or maybe a wagon). wasn't you earlier extolling the smaller lighter coupe class, something about two extra doors and more weight?

you sure are a funny little man how you call people all kinds of names. so because you own a car makes you an enthusiast and you know everything and anything and others don't.

i gave reasons why i am not so impressed with things, to me valid reasons because i have to deal with them. maybe you don't agree with my reasons, but then all you do is throw insults and call names. real mature.

i watched some of your kind o "groups" other videos ( i know not yours, but related). too funny. watching euro cars on a 1/4 mfile strip. that so misses the point of euro performance. the real gains are from 75+, not 0+, even though most do a pretty smooth quarter, but the real power is laid down on the high end, and thats where driving that class of car is truly fun. (i'm sure you know this, i was just reminiscing)

so go ahead and call me some more names, i know you have it in you, and say i don't know anything about cars, which you really have no clue.


anyway, this was really for the other post.

there is nothing wrong with the dependability of bmw or benz if they are properly taken care of, saying if you want dependability, buy japanese (which i hope was sarcasm), is so far from the truth.
as long as you take good care of the car, the car will take good care of you. the problem is, with too many owners, they fail to take care of their car, and treat it like crap, thinking it is made to be treated that way.

c'mon now, thats not fair, obviously you can see they are professional drivers (they have a camera).

one time, i was in georgia on some of the back roads where road bikes love letting lose, and we came down over one banked turn and got passed by two bikes that whipped across the white line. i looked in the rear view mirror and got to see the rider bail as his bike dropped off the side of the road and down the hill. we went back and his bike was trashed, wedged into some trees.

i love to see when the 20 something (i'm a bad ass driver type) gets owned when they are being stupid.

i see nothing wrong with back road driving as long as you respect the rules of the road and other traffic, but when you are a dumb ass, sometimes you get what you deserve.

i wonder about people filming themselves driving like that though, but i guess i did that kind of stuff when i was that age.
