Also...

The 2008 BMW M3 will compete with the new Audi S5 coupe when both go on sale in the U.S. in less than a year. The M3’s extra 55 or so horsepower, rear-wheel drive, and lighter weight promise to deliver a more raw experience than that of the all-wheel-drive Audi, but we expect the M3 will cost thousands more.

My A6 we bought an extended warranty for. I had that car for 5 years. The A4 was a 1.8T and had that for 4 years. *shrugs*

Shelly

03-06-2007, 06:02 PM

Anyway...it was a fun car to drive, so much so, that I put 75,000 miles on it in 2 years. Although, I did drive from San Juan Capistrano to Corona 5 days a week.

Some history...

Then, in 1987, VW introduced a 16 valve engine for the GTI. The engine was being sold in the Scirocco since 1986, powered by a 123hp version (in the US). The GTI also got the 123hp version, which was still a 1.8l, but now with a 16v head. The GTI 16v made up for the power-lacking problem, and more. The 16v version had slightly lowered suspension, bigger anti-roll bars, and stiffer springs to make up for the extra weight in the front of the car. Also, the 16v had a few little things in the engine compartment to make it smoother than an 8 valve, like piston oil squirters to keep the bottom end a little cooler, and standard power assisted steering. Volkswagen kept everything the same for a few more years, until 1990.

if there is something americans are really bad at is making interiors. That looks awful.

Look at this Audi interior:

Is that supposed to be good looking?

Not my style.

new M3 - 420hp v8, lighter, 7 speed dual clutch gearbox(like in F1)

expected to do 0-60 in 4.2-4.5 secs

oh yeah it will keep up :hungry:
As of now, it won't. I'm a fan of both cars though.

What's the new Supra looking like? I used to have one........non-turbo. :depressed

One of my favorite cars.

This car is pretty damn fast, I've always liked Vipers. If you're gonna spend that kind of money, get a Viper SRT10.

The Gen II GTS looks a lot better. Although I might be a little biased. :D (Hence my screen name)

BMWs get really old really quick, like you see every white colar worker getting one, thats just the basic model which will get boring if you see alot of it on the road, unless its an M series. Same case with mercs basic models.

BMWs suck. All my friends that have them all say that they are not reliable at all, and that they are always having some problem or another.

Here is the car for you. Consumer Report rates it as the best luxury sedan. It is much faster than the BMW too.

http://autos.msn.com/research/vip/ConsumerReportsSnapshot.aspx?year=2007&make=Infiniti&model=M

Here is your car's rating:

http://autos.msn.com/research/vip/ConsumerReportsSnapshot.aspx?year=2007&make=BMW&model=3-Series

BMW are no more unreliable than Mercedes or Audi. Actually as of today they are more reliable than both.

They're European, sounds like you need a japanese car.

and that infiniti, is faster than a bmw 328 and 530 that's all. all the other models wip it's ass

BTW new BMWs come with 50,000 full warranty, so you don't pay a dime for the 1st 50,000 miles.

you don't get BMWs for their reliability.

You get them if you want the perfect mix of luxury and performance. no other brand does it better for the price.

GM is putting the 7 liter V8 in the CTS-V for 2008, they are gunning for AMG and AMG only, sadly BMW's Morotsport division will be in 3rd place in this horsepower race.

yeah, thats right the same motor in the current ZO6 will be in the CTS-V next year.

Also the ZO6-R is still in the testing phase, also codenamed the "Blue Devil" All I can say about that is Blown is a key word when describing the differences.

yes bmw could be #3 in straight line race. But when you involve turns, BMW easily becomes #1.

Actually Porsche make most balanced cars for around 100k. BMW comes next. ALL the competition comes later.
