Haha yes bro. Just sharing from my experience. Had an X1 2liter turbo. But it drives no diff from a Korean/Jap.

I’m past the badge chasing stage also. Looking forward to my BYD Atto

' SUV ' 

Can't make a brand decision based on driving the UKL ' lower class ' FWD  platform.

At the same time , I agree that being a brand whore is an endless cycle which doesn't serve any purpose.

Mini is different story.

 

What I meant was don't write off a brand based on the lowest form of life / mass market money making model. Even build quality and important parts can be very different as you go up the model hierarchy. 

Interior materials differ vastly from the X1 to the 5 series

Seat materials go from Sensatec to at least 3 different quality leathers.

I recently watched this YouTuber who had an M performance 3 series ( 340i )  and an M3/M4 on a ramp . The quality of visible welding on the suspension components and the undercover were very different.Off topic , this is also why it's ridiculous putting an M3 badge on a 316i 🤣 with a bodykit.

X1 etc is only to get you into the brand . Unfortunately , in Singapore , taxes on cars mean u get stuck at that level only for the most part.

You are correct. Depending on what model. I can’t afford M4 for example. Fortunately I just manage to afford an entry level 216i. Next to enjoy my ride and aim at M4.
 

NO worries, go for it if it is no financial burden to you.

It is just 3-5k more per year in terms of depreciation costs (for the COE)

Bring careful and doing due diligence by asking around the forum is what any logical person would do before a big purchase.

I don't know why you associate doing some due diligence with can't afford a BMW.

At least this bro who is asking around have the ability to pay for the car in full cash. So if that means he can't afford the car, what does it mean?

You know better whether it's a true comment or not.

No it’s not true, the person whom you are referring is looking to take a 1 year loan/not at all.

Ya, I always find it strange that some in MCF sees the purchase of cars as a reflection of a person’s wealth. 

I doubt these people who are so narrow minded and myopic in their thinking can fare well financially in real life.

You are right! To buy a car more than your annual income is definitely not worth it. The car is a depreciating asset.
