Drove an Audi for 4 years, then I test drove an e90 - understood what Ultimate Driving Machine really meant and that BMW really meant it too (promise made, promise kept).

Now, unless the brand goes into the toilet (unlikely) I do not see myself in any other car - with the exception of a Porsche as a third car.

When I was in the market I test drove a S-line Audi A4, loaded Acura TL, and the 335i...There was no competition and the incentive on the BMW blew all the others away.

Plus I had a tall Blonde Russian sales lady from the BMW dealer and she was effin hott! I'll never forget when I was out on the test drive, I was at the top of the on ramp and she says, in a thick Russian accent "Now!...at top of onramp I want you to see what BMW can do!" so I floor it and make it up to about 120 before I hit the freeway...the whole time I was just chuckling waiting for her to freak out...instead she says "yess...Yesss...YESSSSS!.....You drive like me...aggressive"

SOLD!

I love the looks, the history, the community, the handling, the engine, well, basically, everything!

BMW has fueled my passion for cars, both in a driving sense and a design sense.

+1.

I was actually looking at a used black 2004 ZHP E46 330Ci. I was looking for a RWD "sedan" with manual tranny. Had it narrowed to a used BMW or a new RX-8. Had ruled out Lexus IS, Infiniti G35 and Nissan 350Z. Went home to think about and came back later in the day. Dealer told me the black 330Ci was sold a few hours earlier. 40 minutes later I had 325i instead.

How does Audi compare to BMW?


I'm sorry, I've always wanted to know, Audi's have been getting good reviews recently.

I get laid more often. Getting a prettier BMW just made my dick work harder. With twin turboes now, the satisfaction is more. But i need better cooling.

Always loved BMWs and when the time came I could afford one I bought one. I am now on my second BMW and will always replace BMWs for BMWs.
