terrible advice

You've got a car that's the same size as a 5 series, has four doors and clearly is meant to compete with the CLS, but they call it a 6er Gran Coupe....wtf?

Don't get me wrong, I think it's a beautiful design, but what is with BMW and doing weird things lately?


like this


and this







and the new 5 series has just completely lost it, if you ask me. BMWs used to be elegant and beautiful and distinctive cars. Now it feels like they're trying to fill every niche possible for a few extra euro in ze bank. Unfortunately, they aren't the kind of carmaker that can fill every niche. They can make niche cars, but not all of them. The changes sadden me.


Also, an interesting read if you're into Alpina cars...

tl;dr
I'm a whiney bitch high out of my mind on morphine and my favorite mass-market carmaker is doing weird shit.

1 series convertible is a cute car. Girls have to drive something.

sad thing, is I drove one for a little over a year. ugly as satan's asshole, but the x35i made great power tuned and it was a silly amount of fun to drive. almost guaranteed to put a smile on your face.

lol we all have those bad days

for whatever reason, it REALLY pisses me off to see someone in a 1 series...or a c class Benz...

they always have this snotty look on their face like, "hey bitch, look at my LUXURY car....check the hood ornament!"

But they seem to forget it's the entry level model.


idk. maybe i'm just secretly jealous

I actually like the 1 series coupe, even for a man. Well, I like how it looks anyways.

New C is pretty much the only current production MB I like the look of.

blah

Nope. Those are cars that are bought for someone to shut them up.


No self respecting guy owns a bottom barrel 1-series or C-class.

idk what they look like now...i like them ~2005 year model. They'll do.


I'd still rather buy a slightly older used 3 series with all options than a new entry level car.
