I think any car that does 0-100 in over 8s is a lame excuse for a car i dont care what badge it has on the front...
why should you care what i think...
:roflol: Then what do you call the 90% of metal boxes with wheels on the road if they are just lame excuses for cars? And yours only became a full fledged car after you tuned it...
Is it really that unfathonable for you to believe that most road users are happy with doing 0-100 in 10s+? (Obviously money being the issue). Maybe you should get some driving tips from the toyota forum on how to live with slow cars and still stay a fanatic :fencelook:?
A good example, I can afford a 135i, now please call me silly for choosing a car that is much slower.... (Ok, please don't, I have low self esteem because I have a four cylinder engine) But at this stage of my life I cannot drive one. I will opt for a faster, more unpractical car when I go through my mid-life crysis.
I think I suspect what all the fluss is about. I don't recall that any of the 320i owners felt highly offended in the first thread about the 320i. They all voiced their opinions on why they love their cars. But everything went sideways (except the 320i :sorry

when this kept on being an issue after perfectly valid reasons were given. I don't think they are pissed because people are calling their cars slow, they are pissed because others expect them to care, and even admit that they made the wrong choice...
