X3 or X5

[asubimmer]

dude, learn my shit? read the post? maybe you should read it.. It's titled "X3 or X5".. There's no "E46" or "track" in the title. At least I stick to the point, idiot. You on the other hand, can't come up with any arguments, and, instead tried to discredit my intelligence. BRAVO, that's so original... Nobody has ever done that before.

the bmw name nowadays is so diluted. starting with the e46 (imo) it became a soccer mom brand.. "OH look at me! I have a BMW! i'm so special"... wouldn't wanna get any dirt in those 20's..

I sold my e46 when I noticed every other 16 year old kid was driving a slush-o-matic e46..

lol you are the one who brought e46's up...

sit the next few rounds out

But just to entertain you, I owned an E46, and I've been to the track. And they do handle well.. that isn't the point.

You brought up the e46..........fail


back to the topic on hand.


Among the 2, the X3 seemed a lot more "natural" to me due to its smaller size, but the X5 isn't TOO big in my opinion. I felt that the X3 would be a better DD simply b/c it can navigate traffic easier, and will be cheaper both price wise and maint. wise in the long run.

have you driven either? The X3, X5 and Cayenne are extremely fun to drive and well built. Not everyone can drive a small sedan like the e30, some people need room. Ever tried to haul a bed or building supplies in an e30? the real pricks are those who think just b/c they don't need something themselves, no one else in the world does.



you are such a tool. Did you not read his post? Have you EVER been to a track? The e46s are fucking AMAZING on the track. Learn your shit before you post dumbass

You are correct. As a matter of fact, I do drive a Toyota back and forth to work. I'm not a hypocrite, my friend.

You do not need 6 cylinders, nor do you need RWD. I suggest you buy a nice old Corolla, unless, that is, you think you deserve better.

[asubimmer]

You are a class A dumbass. Go hug a tree on your walk to work cause you are too good to stoop our levels and drive a classy car.

Oh pleeaase. just because someone needs to move a couch or tow a boat once in a blue moon, doesn't mean they NEED it. If it's put to good use often it makes sense, but why on earth would anyone have a desire to haul around 6k lb of steel to an office job? I'll tell you why. It's because people think too highly of themselves. They think they deserve everything. It's the American dream.

Do you mean to tell me that the Nina in accounting needs a Jeep Gd Cherokee? She has it because that bitch in receivable has one, and she can't drive a status symbol any smaller than that. She also got a boob job for the same reason.

Men, on the other hand, have a natural desire to dominate. Pee all over everything. "I OWN THIS"..

Here's a question for people that "need" a large vehicle with a 10,000 lb towing capacity: move a 10,000 lb couch lately?

It costs $100-200 to rent a uhaul if you need to move something on occasion.
$50/day to rent a minivan if you want to go out of town with your 6 guests from out-of-town.

Hey, if you work in construction, you indeed need the proper vehicle, and this rant isn't directed towards people in this category.

[emi325i]

wait who are you again?

I think BMW did a wonderful job making the e46 m3 SO dual purpose. Its a very comfortable ride for a DD and when you go into sport mode you can take it to a track and be out there giving porsche's a run for their $$$.

An e46 is deff superior to an e30 on the track. The e30 is light and that helps a LOT but the e46 has a lot more power and has a far better suspension.

Yeah, I'll give you that..it's a nice ride. I was very dissapointed with reliability. I expected more from bmw, but given how complex cars are nowadays (electronics, etc.) it's difficult to put together a long-term reliable car. My 5 year old e46 sprung an A/C leak inside the dash. That was going to cost me $2500 to fix.

However, I'm flaming SUV's, not M3's. However, SMG is blasphemy.

If you're gonna trade an e30 for an X5 or an X3, leave the board, i don't wanna see another good forum go down the toilet with stupid threads like "check out my chrome dubs". I have another piece of advice, but i'll keep it to myself, 'cause I might get banned or something.

X5 > X3

SUV's are for pricks with more money than brains. on top of that, bmw suv is a contradiction.. just like a porsche suv..

To me BMW has always meant performance and handling and i always tihnk if them as sports cars.

You mean like the E21 320i, the e12 528? The e30 325e? The E39 525i? The e28 528? 518? Those "uber-sporty" dogs?

Get a 3.0 X3, great little SUV, probably one of my favorite choices for a BMW DD right now.

-Charlie

[Court M3]

got an 204 x3 2.5 and have not had any problems except for a bad temp sensor since I had it. Feels and drives like a sports car and it has just as much space as an X5 and avg 26mpg on a 1100 mile trip

[SS Ball3r]

personally, i hate SUV's, especially BMW or other "luxury" ones. To me BMW has always meant performance and handling and i always tihnk if them as sports cars.

Not to mention i always see poeple driving those big ass SUV's with just 1 perosn in them and then complain about gas prices as they do 90 down the interstate(dont get me wrong, i like driving fast too)

Also, as a side note, my family owns a suburban and a dodge ram 3500 duelley, lol. Both off wich we typically load down to the max.

ANd like i said before, i am predjudace against SUV's, lol. So if you are really set on getting one, dont listen to me, lol
