I hate beamers....

Well this is a small rant.

Last night i was sitting in traffic and noticed that i kelpt loosing the cars behind me head lights because he was pulling up to close. I have had people do this some times and just ignored it and everything ... some times on the interstate when someone is riding my *** i sit there for 5 minutes and pretend to be stalled out.

Yes, i hate people riding my *** in there $50k cars thinking that they are better than me. but at any rate. I got out of my car at the intersection just to see how close he was to me... 2 inches. 2 fucken inches from hitting my bumper. I yelled at him though the windshield and guess i emberassed him some. I got back in my car and pulled up a little bit as I had room from the line to do so. He stayed put. Guess he was afraid that if he pushed my button again that i would pull him out of the car.

Let this be a lesson to beamers every where. if you see my red rx7 don't ride my ***.

somthing i have though about installing is a bumper that will shoot out 2 feet and hit there bumper. I would hope that it would cause there air bags to pop and they can sit there wondering what happened. well that is my holiday spirit.

or just wait at the green light. Don't move. Not an inch. Let them honk and honk and honk.
The cars father back will get around you, but if they're that close, they'll have to back up to get around you.

When the light goes yellow, get ready to pull a beverly hills cop on 'em.

That's right, once the yellow is been yellow and about to turn red, haul *** and pop through the intersection.

LMAO

umm, watch for popo though

+1

When I see M3's while driving my protege they ALWAYS star at me and rev up their engines like they want to race.. Never had it happen when I was in my vert though, maybe they are scared of a turbo ?

Get headers gut the cats or get a straight threw exhaust. Once you start shooting some flames and they smell there bumpers starting to cook they will get the point.

bmw's can be nice. seems like your saying that because the driver that operates that bmw was riding your ***, that you'll subconciensly(sp?) think of any bmw driver as an '*******'. thats like meeting a persian guy that while walking by you kicks you in the leg, you'll watch out for any persian guy in the future kicking. (just because im persian).
but then again, if someone was in an 05' bmw with the 24" wheels i commonly see riding my ***, i would probably wait for them to pull around me then flip them the bird, and tell them to feed the homeless (or africans, indians, etc., anyone who needs help, pretty much).
then there is other bmw's that are actually worth buying or driving or whatever, i like mercedes benz better usually, but probably just because i know more about them. bmw makes some very long lasting cars with great technology, and has some diesel engine cars around (which you can run on bio-diesel; a renewable source of energy that runs in diesel engines with no modifications at all.)

I prefer the old slit the throat with the finger motion. Scares the crap out of them.

i hate BMW headlamps when driving either my RX or my MKII supra, cause the lights are aimed right into my face.. if i want such a stable person i would go postal and shoot out the lights on all bimmers.

and merc's are shiny and heavy... might as well buy a pickup truck painted boring-***-beige and install seat heaters.

god i had the perfect thing for you... it was a doll that goes on your back window glass and when some one is tailing you, the doll "Moons" the person behind you...(well i tought it was funny)

When he passes you, dont just flip him the bird, have both guns a smokin...

or, if your on a two lane hwy, match speeds with someone beside you and slow down a bit till he switches lanes, then speed up till he gets behind you agian, repeat process untill hes super pissed...lol (Ive done that too many times, its fun... maybe if he wasnt cheating on his wife so much, he wouldnt be in such a hurry...lol)

Leave the germans alone.

Not all bimmers cost 50 grand plus. And there is something sexy about a striaght six.

>pondering<

I'd bet it'd fit into my rex.

lets say some jerk pulls reall close up on a hill at the light,, just wait a sec till nobodys in front of you,, and then do a little clutch drop& tirespin,, smokem out,,, and it draws the curtain for your exit,,, better yet if you have crapp for tires you leave melted rubber stuck to his bumper, and any small rocks stuckin your wheels ding his fancy paint,,,,

well just some good christmas advise,,, happy christmas everyone,,,
lets not just pick on the bimmers,,, lets also generalise other expensive car groups out there,, how about suv's....

There may be something sexy about a straight 6, but that doesn't change the fact that IMO bimmers are the most overrated cars I have ever seen next to hondas. I don't like a single thing about them, not even the engines they have. Sure, its a straight 6, and everyone loves straight 6's, but they just don't have the kind of "presence" other straight 6's have. Basically, they sound like **** with performance exhaust and I haven't really seen much in the form of performance goodies for them either. I just never have liked them and I never will.

But anyway, tailgaters should be shot. Their not only putting their life in danger, but yours as well. Nobody can be in so much of a hurry to get somewhere that they have to ride someones *** to get there.

I think I'd take 333 natural aspirated horse power out of a six cylinder, no matter what shape it comes in. I dig the fact that BMW will not just throw a blower, or a turbo onto an engine to boost its output.

And their rear wheel drive, that already makes them better than a honda.

My bad, 360 hp and 270 ft-lb. Terribly overrated indeed. I don't think I'll ever care to own one of those.

beammers bemmers bimmers what doesn't matter.

Point was that out of 4million + people in atl BMWs cut me off in traffic more times than not no matter what i'm driving. 50k was just an example i know you can pick up the cheap one for around 25 to 30 or something like that. just most are yuppies that are dressed really nice think their **** doesn't stink and that they own the road.

speaking of stopping on the road i was in traffic once on 75... bumper to bumper and i just got the car. had a BMW! pull right on my ***. i sat there for a good bit of time.

I just more annoyed about it now because i have bee rear ended. If i was getting cut off or my *** ridden by benz or some other kind of car theni would name it... but around dunwoody area and galleria area in ATL those seem to be the only *** holish drivers. and i'm talking about the driver not the car it self.

I like BMWs ok... the auto/man trans is kewl but i would still rather clutch/**** myself.

I agree with this guy, except I'm not so much of a Mercedes fan. I just know I love old BMW's and with some new suspension and stuff they are great handeling, and very responsive cars, whereas from what I know Mercs are much more biased towards luxury.

It also seems like you guys think all BMW's have those xenon or halogen or w/e headlights that blind everyone, however the only BMW's worth buying IMO, are the older ones that were never made with those. I don't even like the design of the new cars, screw Chris Bangle. Sure an E46 (which I'm not even sure Bangle tampered with yet?) may be nice to drive, but its straying VERY far from the S14 powered M3 roots, which dominated racing in its years. I love E30's, E28's, E34's, E21's, (i could go on) and all the BMW's made between 1970 and 1994.

Just my $.02

ps, I think BMW really screwed the M5 over with that 7 speed transmission, and all that Idrive crap. It may have 500hp, but it is no longer an M5 imo , but I guess for innovations sake you can throw away any traditional values. *sigh* < that is very biased and probably incorrect, (i know its an M5 but I don't like where BMW's going) but those are my opinions.

EDIT: Heh, 333hp? <thats the new S54 I'm assuming. Try 347bhp and 409nm of torque. (s38b38) BMW's most powerful L6 every designed, and it was made in 1991 no less. Try that with forced induction and you have an engine that is capable of 1200hp. (its been done before too)
