1.8 Hate on Bimmerforums

[BMW_Hatchback]

Someone made a thread about it. Most of you all have seen already I guess http://forums.bimmerforums.com/forum...4#post10763854

WTF cares?

[hitchhike79]

There really should be a common sense test for posting on these boards.

+1!!

cracks me up that people dont know the compact has the same rear end geometry as the e30 m3

stick an s14 in a compact and you have a track assasin...

this is my first BMW.
it isn't fast by any means.
yet, if i have someone on my arse getting on the freeway or any turn...my right foot controls the huge grin on my face when i leave them braking as they turn.
what i'm saying is this...I LOVE THIS CAR!
and let me tell you about the roads i drive only 20 miles from my Denver home...nothing beats the Rocky Mountains for letting this car hang it's rear end out in the turns...amazing.
in conclusion, let everyone say what they will about what is best and what sucks arse...i could care less. i am a happy first time owner of a bitchin' little car.

WORD

[BobbyDigital]

Its funny that it says something about how the 1.8 is the worst engine BMW ever made; my m42 has 287,000 miles on it and I still drive the hell out of it! I'm not sure what that person meant by worst...

[hitchhike79]

Who cares? Just leave this discussion someplace else, most of the world drives much smaller and crappier cars than a 318... so who cares.

When i said we should have a common sense test it was ment for this board... dont post crap like this lest we become another bimmerforum.

Don't you ever, EVER mention that board here again.

I like the advice Judith Martin's mother gave her about crossing the Atlantic by passenger ship: that she should always travel in first class or third class when crossing, but never second. In first class, you had luxury; in third class, you had fun. This, as Miss Manners put it, was the proper distribution of the world's blessings. In second class, you had neither. Instead, you had a gnawing uncertainty.

If you replace luxury with power you could very well be describing that forum and this one. On this forum, we are travelling third class, and damn well enjoying it.

well put John

YOu know what guys i just read that whole thread and it kind of made me angry i feel like a lot of people bash our car becasue it dosent carry an M3 price tag... I have only had my car for a few months so i wont say mine will but i have seen cars on here that will womp an m3 or one of those "real bmw's" they where talking about.. I love my car and am planning on doing some serious moding to my car so for now i will bite my tounge when those guys are talking about how they would walk my car because now they would but not for long...

thats why a vdub scene is so much cooler... those guys @ least stick up for each other for the most part & dont have so much negative $hit going around & they ALL are indeed 'into' ALL vdubs. if you are marque enthusiast, you dont bash other models IMO...

as for the 'bimmerforums' - there is no need whatsoever to ever go onto that site... this site can anwer all questions you may have very well, & the people seem much nicer.

My last car was a Scirocco, and among Vdubs, it got alot of respect. I hate going into the BMW dealership, and seeing all those snobs with their fancy new 3 /5/6/7 series cars.

That is the main reason I am a 318ti fan, and not a BMW fan.
