I have never seen a bunch of rich people go so far out of their way to deny their success and announce their shame for all to see. It's distasteful. If they truly wanted to be pedestrian they'd give up the status symbol, buy a used Ford, and give their $399 a month to charity. "I drive a car that costs more per year than most people can spend on groceries, but I'm not affected, I'm not different, just treat me like a normal guy." He says as he puts down his $500 briefcase and reaches for his $400 smartphone while he places his $5 cup of coffee into his $50,000 German luxury car and takes off for his $200,000 job. The world weeps for you folks, it truly does. |

I must say I already prefer this forum over the Mercedes forums. Why? Whenever I get home and have had a bad day then I can come on this forum, look at Joe's posts and have a good laugh. I'm actually happy that I joined this forum now haha. So thank you Joe. I truly appreciate all the good laughs.

I'm sorry to break this to you man, but you're not rich and you don't roll like a rich man. Now go whack it some more to your backup camera.

I come to BMW from driving Nissans, Ford and Infiniti. I've had mine 4 months now and have seen more rudeness and outright dislike towards me than ever before.
I'm driving about the same so it's not me - |

If you like the tech trinkets, small luxury items available, etc. that's fine, but that doesn't make your car a status TO everybody or FOR everybody. I do not view my 328i as a status symbol. I could care less if the trunk opens for me, or the seats move for me, or there's some fancy computer options. I like how my 328i DRIVES. I spent very little extra money on my car, and yet I wouldn't enjoy driving your 328i any more than I would enjoy driving mine. And you feel differently; no problem, good for you. Just don't assume everyone else is inferior if they didn't choose to pay for superfluous options that change nothing about they driving dynamics. Last edited by simongym; 05-15-2014 at 08:36 PM..

Convenient. Some drivers would much rather have the 35i engine than many of the other options you mentioned as somehow necessary. If you are rich and so interested in the status symbol, why settle for merely the second biggest engine in the 3 lineup? Why settle for the low end car, when you could get a 750Li or a 650GC or M6GC or M5?
