And my reaction to comments like this is: this guy could never afford any of the cars he's talking about.

Looks like an M3 with an uglier nose.

I wasn’t the driver. I do own one though so maybe that’s why I defended the guy so much. And thanks, it is a pretty car.

I own a M4 and this car cant tough it in any category imaginable. I also own a 2007 Mustang GT Convertible and LOVE that car. But please, don’t bother comparing them.

Sounds like you did have a bad experience in them. Too bad. Im your age and its my first BMW so maybe Ill see your point in a few years. I have heard the best way to own a BMW is under warranty. Have a good weekend.

One day you’ll make enough money to change your mind. For now, keep enjoying the plastic Fords you love to defend.

Either way, BMW crushes Ford in any aspect or chart you want to read. He said Ford was more dependable, the numbers speak for themselves.

Empirical evidence and you still ignore it?

You are wrong. It’s a top 6 car. (I said 5)

3.9 vs 4.4 to 60 is significantly faster. Put them on a track and the difference grows. I’ve driven both, and own a M4. BMW was top 5 on the most recent reliability reports, Ford wasn’t.

IMO BMW did themselves a big disservice by sending out all the press cars with the ceramic brakes. They cost $8K, and most cars will not be equipped with them. It makes that 90K car a 82K car. Mine is fully loaded (literally every option you can tick) outside of DCT and the ceramics. After discount I paid $75K. More…

Mustang? LOL. When you get the chance to drive the M4, you’ll see it blows the Mustang out of the water in every conceivable category.

I was just about a snooty comment similar to yours but you put it much better than I ever could.

Just too much online content available now to really be concerned with where these guys end up. The show was more entertainment than a nuts/bolts type car review. I prefer the latter but appreciate the former.

Got it (wink wink). See you tonight for burgers and beer.

Frank, is that you?

Finally, a post that 80% of Jalopnik commentators can legitimately write about. I would increase that to 99% had the bar been lowered to $20K.

Funny. I had a few people respond to me in a similar manner. Sadly, I meant it. Its a total dick move and I am no where close to wealthy but it was fun. The responses were great.

Its the same transmission and you come to me with mumbo jumbo that you think sounds right. I know BMW transmissions while you are simply guessing. Why? Because I work on them. You couldnt find a bushing if hit you in the head.
