Some of the MBs from the early 90s look like they could be from the late 70s or 80s. BMW 3 series of the same time period look new even today. Im not saying MBs are bad cars but they just arnt as good as a bimmer. BMWs are more responsive and handle much better then MBs. BMWs are the Ultimate Driving Machine. Why arnt MBs? That is because they are all AUTOs! MB would like to use "The Ultimate Driving Machine" but they cant because it would be false advertising.
why don't you use your normal username "SDKmann" from bimmerforum?

Do you want me to post the bottom half of your personal photo?
People in this thread just love you so much and I am sure they want to see it.

btw, if anyone's wondering those are the Australian plate.
same style as the bottom left in this pic
and just so you guys know, the original thread starter on the bimmrforum is also from Australia. He actually uses caz88r, not SDKmann. SDKmann is just another - hate to use this word, but...- idiot.

G'day
Have been watching this site for a number of years and when is started to read this 'trolls' comments, I just had to register and put this individual is his place.
Yep this individual is a 'troll'. The photos of 'his' supposed vehicle is one that has been for sale at a dealership in Adelaide in the state of South Australia.
The 'troll' has been caught out.
See ya

You guys are the biggest ignorant bigots ever. Honestly...
Aside from this guy being said "troll" all he did was voice his opinion. To some people there is more to a car than a "plush leather interior" and looking down and smiling with glee when you see that automatic transmission...
I would say both are comparable, but while Mercedes holds up almost a luxury end of the deal, I think the BMW is going to be more of a true sports car. Like someone mentioned on this board, its going to take a c55 in the twisties. They have a similar structure, power, and probably handling. But its going to be the drivers opinion on which one is more of a twisty sports car.
And WTF... 0-60 and 1/4 mile times??? What the hell does that prove?, no german car was engineered to be a retarded American drag rat, that’s the stupidest thing I have ever heard.
I would take a 330i over a c55 any day. I personally like to choose my own gears when I drive and I don’t need to have an overdone leather luxury palace of an interior to enjoy my car. Hell, I would take cloth over leather anytime.
I plan to get a Mercedes some day for a nice luxury car, but until then I will enjoy a proper German sports car.

Well the New M5/M6 does not come in manual yet. So go ahead a flame your own BMW god, for not making a true manual transmission for your super sedan and coupe.
Just face it, the whole industry is going away from the manual transmissions. SMG (single, dual clutch) is the way to go. Yes you can choose your own gears with SMG.
Also, if 1/4 or (1000 meter) times were not important, they would not be published in every German, British, American automobile magazine in the world. The fact of the matter, those are true performance measures in every day driving.
By the way, thanks for affirming your ignorance.

Uh wait, last I heard we were talking about the 330i? What’s this m5/m6 crap? Where as Mercedes has never majorly produced a manual transmission on any car? Now, since you seem to be pretty thick headed let me follow up with this, I am NOT saying they NEVER did, I am saying they hardly did in respect to how many autos were produced...
How am I ignorant? Because I have an opinion that I am not forcing upon others? On how MB obviously pwns BMW in every respect? Where did I say MB cant make a nice car? They make nice cars, its just not for the most part a true sports car like BMWs.
Just because the supposed "whole industry" is going away from manuals doesn’t make it better. Its just because retarded people like you who have a lot of money and want to show it don’t feel like having the hassle of having to shift gears, but you want your name brand...
I’m not the one calling out the m3 as a civic.. Its your generalized bull**** that makes baby Jesus cry.

If you took offense because someone on this board called the M3 a civic... please grow up.
This is a public forum board, we can say just about anything about a car.
We have rules about what can we say or not. If it pertains about a car, we have full freedom of expressing it.
Don't be so up tight about 1 product brand.
When the M5board calls AMG pigs, we don't go over there and start trolling just to defend AMG. For what? They have that right, just as we do here.
It was an obvious "dramatization" of what an M3 is... don't take it to the heart. M3 is always been considered the working man sports car, made from a sedan chasis.

330i vs. C55 .....330i only if you cant afford that extra 20k.
330i vs. C350..... I would go for the C350.
330i(e90) new body new everything...older engine and (not sure) old tranny from e46.
C350(w203). older body..new interior..new engine and tranny(6 sp manual or 7 sp auto)
better solution ...wait for 350i and C350 (w204)....then they will be both very compatable vehicles.
ohh if you are really comparing german vehicles..german automaker OPEL makes good vehicles too(not sold in USA)..in old days Opel Calibra was a good competitor to e36 M3 but they dont make those anymore. I have heard calibra is coming back soon....calibra was a AWD vehicle.
but should always remember ....opel bmw volkwagen mercedes porsche...out of these
there is only one 3 wing star.......the star leads and the tail follows....

. Grow up.And guess what, we are just entitled to our own opinions as well so what's the big deal if we call the M3 a glorified Civic? Isn't BMW a brand name, or are just BMW owners plain poor? Wow, you amuse me with your rhetoric.

What a crock of ****. Let me go buy a Miata or S2000 and beat down them M3's on the track. Then what? The typical response when I bring up such a point on the BMW forums is "Well, you still drove home in a ______." There are a handful of BMW people (the true car enthusiasts) who will acknowledge what their cars are lacking in comparison to others. It seems like there are a handful of biased ones who claim their **** don't stink and will resort to personal attacks because they feel the need to go on the offensive. Yeah you spent all that money on your BMW and it still has flaws. So what, no car is perfect. Like I said on the Bimmerforums, brand loyalty is stupid. All cars have their positive and negative attributes. I can tell you one negative about the E90 330i right now: it's fugly!

I would say both are comparable, but while Mercedes holds up almost a luxury end of the deal, I think the BMW is going to be more of a true sports car. Like someone mentioned on this board, its going to take a c55 in the twisties. They have a similar structure, power, and probably handling. But its going to be the drivers opinion on which one is more of a twisty sports car.
And WTF... 0-60 and 1/4 mile times??? What the hell does that prove?, no german car was engineered to be a retarded American drag rat, that’s the stupidest thing I have ever heard.
I would take a 330i over a c55 any day. I personally like to choose my own gears when I drive and I don’t need to have an overdone leather luxury palace of an interior to enjoy my car. Hell, I would take cloth over leather anytime.
I plan to get a Mercedes some day for a nice luxury car, but until then I will enjoy a proper German sports car.

lolz, another interesting response with fukin stupid statement "Just say u can't afford c55....
