Viceroymenthol 6th Gear February 2, 2011 Share February 2, 2011 My wif only allows me to buy Gayman. Anything else, need to sell backside because she holds the ticket. Gayman is 2 seater, sure your wife allows????? Wow you have an understanding wife. I kena banned from even thinking of Z4, gayman, elise, slk, all the 2 seater cars :( and banned from manual stick shift... Otherwise would have gotten that low mileage used Z4M selling for $160k a few months ago... What a pity.... The only porsche my wife allows is cayenne...wtf Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Moreover, i have a habit of overtaking from lane 3 to lane 1 in btw 2 cars. It is hard to do it in E39. It would much easier in 130. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

She is not that good in handing in huge car. Yeah... Some women cannot handle a stick.... No need to get her a picanto lah.... Mini cooper will be nice! Second hand pricing is still quite reasonable... Edited February 2, 2011 by Viceroymenthol Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

1fast1 Supersonic February 7, 2011 Share February 7, 2011 It is not about buying new or re-sale ... I believe a lot of people are referred to "badge whore" when they but the 4 cylinders BMW as they feel that a "real" BMW should have 6 cylinders. So it depends on which model you bot that determine if you are a badge whore and is not whether it is new or re-sale. In another words .... buying a 318i/320i becos it is a BMW, you would be consider a badge whore. Those "badge whore" people who would claim that a 4-cylinder BMW is not a real BMW should read up on their automotive history. And look up the shape of the BMW HQ building. It's not called "BMW-Vierzylinder" for nothing. And history is repeating itself in a big way with the new FI 4-cylinders soon to come. It's not BMW's fault that some people don't know what they're talking about. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's not BMW's fault that some people don't know what they're talking about. Seriously, I was never bothered by such comment - people calling me badge whore because I am driving a 4 cylinders 320i E90. I enjoyed every moment driving the car. It may not have the smoothness or the power of a IL6 - 323i or 325i but the handling of the 320i is still one of the best in the automotive industry. The power of the 320i is good enough for me especially the local road condition. Our speed limit on the highway is 90 km/h and the 0 to 100 km/h is about 10 secs. I am very satisfied with these specs. Anyway, I have sold the 320i after 26 months and i still miss the car. Cheers to all the "badge whores" ..... dun worry about these remark as a 4 Cylinders BMW is still a BMW and IMO is still better than any JAP/KOREAN made.

It's not BMW's fault that some people don't know what they're talking about. The best 4 pot from BMW is from E30 ///M3 and E90 320si. I drove E30 318 (this is 1.8L) and it is more than enough to power the car. Since E36, pwr-to-weight of 4 pot has dropped. It is not enough to power the car and it has to move from 1.8L -> 1.9L -> 2L. Currently, E90 320 has the same weight (1.5T) as my E39 520. There is a huge diff being power by 4 pot 2L and 6 pot 2.2L at that weight. The move towards FI 4-pot is a natural development from BMW diesel engine program. FI 4-pot might be used to replace IL-6 for better FC. Anyway, roar from IL-6 after 4k RPM could not be replace wif FI 4 pot. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
