    Where is the mandatory M5 picture in this thread, forgot the members username, but he plasters his BMW M5 in every car thread he can.


















    Yes I am jealous, he has my dream car. Yet even if I had the money I probably wouldn't get it, I'm too cheap to spend big money on a car.

    I think the people that call BMW drivers douches are the type of people that:

    1) Look at cars as just a way to get from point A to point B.

    or

    2) Cant afford it, so they have to hate instead.

    Honestly, it sounds like the people you hang with have issues if they give two s**ts what kind of car you drive. My friends could drive Ferraris and Lambos, and I'm not gonna treat them any differently than I do now. Who gives a rat's *** what people drive?? It's about what car makes you happy.

    How's that going for you? I'm thinking of selling mine and purchasing a Z4.

    You're not hanging around enough women if you feel self-conscious about a BMW.

    I'm pretty sure the OP was talking more about status, exclusivity, and luxury instead of handling and performance

    Yeah, I'm not really "impressed" by someone with a BMW.. especially one of those 3 series. It seems like everyone and their mom has that car.. on lease, of course. ;)

    And if someone is bringing out their keys and mentioning their car in every conversation, they are a douche regardless of what car they drive.

    Well, when you make a blanket statement such as "Mercedes > BMW" without any other comments...doesnt seem like you're just talking about status and luxury.

    Poor attempt at trolling.

    I'd love an E92 M3 if I could afford it! :grin:

    LOL, just because you DRIVE a certain car doesn't mean you can AFFORD it. Not in today's world. I think it's douche to finance a car you can't afford just so you can feel better about having a small penis. Even worse to LEASE it IMO.

    BTW, that isn't directed at anyone in this thread.

    according to my Indian friends, driving a BMV automatically makes you Persian.

    This.

    Usually you're compensating for something, lack of personality, wit, size... it's something around those lines.

    When did I ever say people who drive certain cars CAN afford it?

    Im saying, people who call "Johnny" a douche because he drives (insert car)...they probably cant afford said car. Otherwise, there is no reason to call someone a douche because of the car they are driving.

    Dont forget:

    • $3,500 Down payment
    • $400 Security Deposit
    • $725 Acquisition fee
    • $5,004 Cash due at signing

    Not to mention, that car that you listed doesnt have the sport package or convenience package...no performance option...no moonroof...no navigation...and probably 20 other things that are necessary.

    It was a nice attempt though to portray the lowest level BMW as "cheap".
