LOL come on? please tell me that was tongue in cheek.
If not then thats taking things a bit far dont you think?!
A 3 series is hardly a Veyron... pure lol.
I'm not suprised that as a point it went right over your head. I'm talking about the engine itself.
I'll humour you for a bit and explain it a tad more. On the one hand we have a 3 litre petrl engine developing 272bhp. Yet on the other we have an engine which emits circa 172g/km of CO2 and as result costs £170 a year to tax, is in a reasonable low company car tax band and, in theory, is capable of almost 40mpg combined.
In these days of everyone being obsessed with CO2 I think such figures alongside each other are quite an acheivement.
The other odd thing about this thread, which prompted to make the trolling comments was that in another thread entirely you were spouting about your hatred for ANYthing diesel and how rubbish they were with "vibrating gearsticks" and "dagagaga" and nonsense like that.
Why are there not only one, but TWO diesels in your list of cars given the distain you seem to have for anyone that drives diesels.
I don't think there is an awful lot of point us discussing this if you think I have a 'hatred for ANYthing diesel'. I think its fairly obvious from my posts on this forum that this isn't the case. I'm not a fan of the whole diesel culture and the obsessiveness with 4 cylinder diesel engines as if they are always the answer to everyones problems, and I prefer petrol engines. If you wish to translate that into a hatred for everything diesel, well, thats your perception issue.
Rather ironic that you *appear* to look down your nose at anyone who drives a diesel, but then have two in your "dream cars" list?
Look down my nose? Amazing. If that was the case I'd look down my nose at my own father who not only drives (Well, until recently) a diesel, but bought it on my recommendation.
And it's far from a dream car list! My dream cars, like most people, have far more exotic badges on the front than BMW!
I still ask, whats really the point here?
Nobody else but you is having any issue. Mind you, you are not having an issue are you, as from your previous posts its pretty clear your motives around here are a tad different from others.
The point was to stimulate an interesting discussion about peoples perceptions and thoughts on a selection of cars. I didn't want it to descend into typical 'spec me a car' land with all sorts of other recommendations coming out of the woodwork, etc etc, which is why I chose that route. It turned into a spec me thread anyway so I figured I might as well declare my interest.
Nobody but yourself appears to have had any issue with this.
When someone takes the time to post, they just get every point they have made taken apart by the OP.
Not really, well except for hurfdurf with the M3 thing, because an M3 costs £30k+ so its a bit pointless, really.
Everyone else seems to be either:
a) Ignoring the thread as it is not of interest to them
b) Discussing/debating/whatever without a problem.
Is there a reason why you are different? You are trying very, very hard to turn a thread which been almost exclusive about Motors, in the Motors forum, into some sort of fight...
and the chances of finding a well looked after one as time goes on gets smaller. You can say "yeah I owned one of those" ...
