Re: I think BMW

lmao.... BURRRRRNNNNNNNNNNNNNN

Feeling Guido?

BTW don't diss the boxter till you driven one. It's a toned down affordable Cayenne and is INCREDIBLE to drive and fucking amazing in quality + maintenance costs.

A Cayenne is no Porsche for me as well. Just a wannabee fashion model.

Re: I think BMW

dude are you kidding ? There's a doctor here in the local indian community who drives a Cayenne..... it looks closer to the 911 than the boxter.... and the music out of the tailpipes when the car is turned on / in motion is surreal.... I love it

Re: I think BMW

I bet he has the sound of a 911 Carrera pre-recorded and plays it through his sound system.

Ok, I better go to lunch now before Kamal kills me.

Sorry Kamal, Tom speaks the truth. A Cayenne is a feeble attempt at the high end SUV, you pay for the name.

Treat yourself and have a nice 911 turbo.

Re: I think BMW

Nice!

I´ve been in BMW heaven lately too...after driving a 530Xd for a few days, I went to pick up a 320d Touring automatic this morning. Then, next monday, I´ll give the 320d back to BMW and bring home a 530d Touring (again an autmatic). I keep bad-mouthing automatic cars but after I discovered they all have the option of of changing to sequential gearshift, I´ve been having a lot more fun with these babies!

Re: I think BMW

Those 335s are nice, but $50k OTD? No thanks.

Re: I think BMW

^^ i am going to get my coupe for 34k invoice if i pick it up from munich. add about 1k for dealer fee and 2.5k for my options and it should be ~39-40k

Re: I think BMW

what any options? sport/premium/cold weather are pretty much manditory. I-drive not so much

What other costs are invovled? That does sound like a bargin, but do you need to pony up for a european vaction in the process? Then ship it back to the states?

Re: I think BMW

here is the wholesale price list that the dealer will pay and you can negotiate on that:

you can generally save about 3k on the price of the car, but spend that on the vacation if you are inclined. i am going to try to get a plane ticket for ~800 hopefully, and lufthansa has had a deal the last couple of years where they will throw in a 2nd coach ticket free, you just have to pay for the taxes. so me and a friend will just split the cost of the full ticket and the 200 for the flight over.

you get to drive your car on the autobhan fully insured and legal, and drop it off at one of 15 european drop off points and it is shipped back to the states w/o any extra cost. it is part of the package deal. you just have to wait about a month for the ship to arrive.

Re: I think BMW

Sweet cars, but they're too guido for my taste. Mercedes all the way!

- 100 for you Jan. I agree on the quality and guido aspect of Mercedes in opposite to BMW's but you should have at least picked the SL cabrio and not the damn SLK for wannabee millionaires and young and overqualified volunteers in Graphic Design. Buying a SLK is like wanting a Porsche but ending in buying a Boxster because you can't afford more.

Mercedes SL Cabrio

Sorry TomTom but I have to go with Kinks on this one - the SLK looks way hotter than SL imo!


Anyways I'm not into Mercedes at all - BMW is a whole different story for me. My bf is getting this beauty in a couple of weeks:

Re: I think BMW

Here?s the baby I?ve been driving since yesterday.

To be honest, since it?s a stationwagon, I wasn?t expecting much, but dude, this is probably the most agile SW I?ve ever driven, and you?ve got to love a station wagon with rear traction, I love the way it spins around the bends.
