Nope. All 4 are from Switzerland.

There's no point in owning a Rolex from Hong Kong just as there's no point in owning a BMW from Africa. First world products are, you know, best from the first world.

Best thread ever..

Bolt - mineral gray FTW!

Love the signature, I think you should throw pictures of the wife and watches in the sig too, because haters will hate. In front of the beach house.

Keep playing player.

We are all so fortunate, yet we are all so miserable.

You need to stop up a couple tics to get them all in focus...

MaestroAl · 10-29-2012, 09:01 AM

He can't. He took the pic on his iPhone

All those "millions" and no decent camera

Nice little fantasy world you live there. Show me ONE review where the 328i hit under 5.0 second 0-60 time. Motor Trend did 4.7 with the Auto + Summer tires and 4.9 with the manual + All-Seasons on the 335i. You have no numbers whatsoever to support your made up story. Keep telling yourself the 328i is faster if it makes you feel better.

So he took the picture with a worse camera than his iPhone

"Mr Millions" indeed.

Umm ... I really wanted to sit back and just watch... but have to comment on this. Seems like BMW would have things backwards if they made a faster car for less money within the same production/MY (i.e. 328 vs. 335)???

Marketing team at BMW - "Okay guys, so for 2012, let's try something different. Let's make the 335 model slower than the 328 this time. Let's keep charging $5K more ... no seriously ... let's do it and see what happens... and make sure the 328 makes a "WHOOOOOOSH" sound... write that down ... "WHOOOOOSH" "...

Robin_NL · 10-29-2012, 11:07 AM

Come on guys he's trolling.

Oh, no. Rolex debadging is only for those in a Speed King, trying to let people know its not a Daytona.
