Thumbs up

I saw one (Z-8) going down the road the other day, did a double take. That is one fine car.

Ford slogan "Quality is Job 1"

BMW slogan "The Ultimate Driving Machine"



Only one manufacturer means it.

Keep the M3 and call AIS insurance. They saved me $1200 this year alone in premiums.

Ok..the L is a 3 seater technically...not a 2.

The bimmer-ultimate driving machine??? Yeah may be true for some of em...but certainly not all. I've driven most of what they make....and for the most part...excluding the M vehicles and 540...they are snoooore machines....328...323...330...528...ugh...slow and boring.... so I don't think that tagline applies to all their machines. And BMW has had some serious quality/recall issues as of late as well...things catching fire!

Anyway...yeah I would rather have a vette than a M3 as well.

I think the level of refinement between the L and the new M3 is a big difference too. Kinda like this order:

BMW - Ford - GM products - Hot Wheels
I don't know about that, I got a Hot Wheels car in a box of Wheaties and I think its better than alot of Chevy's and Ford's. I mean the I/C doesn't leak (Ford) and it dosen't rattle (Chevy), and as far as I can tell Hot Wheels has installed a aluminum impeller on the water pump unlike BMW with their famous exploding plastic impellers. I haven't had any problems with the Hot Wheels, and as always the Wheaties were great too!

M3? Lightning? Ha, if you have that kind of flow and you want practicality:

M5

The M5 is sweet. I like the smaller lighter car. Plus the 02 will have the 6sp SMG trans. Full sequential just like the Modena. Been available in Europe for several years now we finally get it.
