Right so I should quit now.
Fuck y’All
There are countless reasons you should quit.

1. Incessant flamethrower attacks on truck beds.
2. Incessant dialogue about "actual cost" of vehicle when everyone knows monthly payment is all that matters.
3. Can't maintain any loyalty to AZN NATION.
4. Complain about paltry 300% appreciation of eastbay condo because it's not as much as your brogrammers in the city.
5. You think that the entire world will be Ubering in "Pods" in 2 years when that won't even happen in the Pay Area.
6. Ethnic heritage from dictatorship turned mobster run nation
7. Cannot look at the asking price of any vehicle without instantly blurting out that it's actual value is $10K less.
8. Cannot just buy a good car and enjoy it despite the known and complained about transaction costs endemic to California
9. Had to resort to the mail for a white girlfriend.
10. You're from California.

Need I continue?

I feel like Troy and myself take the most heat of the forum, hence the "Worst forum member". Yet here we are turning the 3rd cheek. Gotta roll with the punches. :aintcare:

And the only OFFENSE I take is the one about that ragged out E90 M3 in the first model year of production. 32k... really bruh? Have you seen that thing? It is :disgust:
Agreed on the BMW in question.

I can't make this up...

I was once talking to a chick at a bar, she told me she drove a BMW. So I was like "cool, is it a three series? I like those" and this bitch legitimately slapped me across the face as hard as she could and said "it's a 530i, I wouldn't drive a three series. "

:wtf:
Not a woman worth spending time with........at all. Sad. Its a car.....nothing else. Sad.
that's MURICA for you.

This is how you get one.... Rare sedan also... more miles but 0 ragz. Still 50% of MSRP for a decade old M3 with a shit engine that doesn't last is :disgust:
Not to mention, besides having a shit engine, this car doesn't have any documentation to back up that maintenance was actually followed so :nope: on this one. I'd take one that was slightly ragged out with full documentation (and maybe a motor replacement if lucky) vs one in pristine cosmetic condition with no history.

History is kept at BMW. :member: they get maintenance for free for 4 years or 50k...
That V8 gets low teens MPG, pops bearings, burns at least 1 quart every 2k miles... has 8 throttle bodies because BMW. Yea where the fk do I sign.

Hmmmmmmm
Pops bearings
Low teens MPG
Known to burn oil
Sounds like my car :lolol:

Just because BMW included maintenance with the car doesn't mean maintenance was actually performed. Doesn't really matter anyway, as these are known to burn through bearings regardless of how they were maintained.

Don't forget... You need the :unicorn: tear oil... 10w60 $12 a quart BMW M Motorsport JEWro oil.

I suppose you don't have to change it every 3750 so that's nice. :yikes:

I think a lot of performance cars suffer from similar issues due to stressed engines/target owner abuse.
There are notable exceptions like the 370z doe...

I dunno man. Most Z's I see are pretty trashed out with shitty mods like tinted headlights and green LED washer nozzles. I'm sure those owners are taking care of their cars :yeahok:
Any car that claims to be sporty and fast and all is going to attract the stupidity of the half-ass tuner world.

Right Zs are trashed about the same way the 3rd owner M cars are... 20-40k is affordable for :derp: 's willing to go in at 10% and not afford maintenance, get that thing repo'd.

40k+ keeps the trash out. I was talking about reliability... Most 370s are very solid even with abuse

:member: the rest of the US lives in poverty making about 55k per household. So they either grew up driving shitboxes, or currently own a shitbox. But yeah most girls don't give a rat's ass about cars in general around here. If they own one they care that the radio works, the heater works, and it doesn't break down constantly.

That :truk: motor doe. The VQ is a very stout engine and can really take a beating. I think it's probably THE most impressive 6 cyl engine line in existence in terms of durability, maintenance, reliability, and NA power.

That I could not agree more, hence why I look at g37's from time to time, but they are still quite expensive unless you go for 40k+ miles.

Yea there really isn't much like it. It'll go 200k miles with nothing but fluids and that POS revs to 7500-7900 rpm (NizBRO) models all day.
I miss it. Not a truk motor doe.

Then go for the 40k mile ones. I'd own one of those without a warranty NFG. They're reliable overall.

This^^^ the car has immense reliability. Its beyond low maint. 5w30 synthetic and 15000km changes here are nothing. In terms of sportscars its one of the easiest to own. We daily'd ours all 4 seasons, road trips etc. Fkn Timex of sportscars it seems. Road noise is about the only real downer for them. Overall the car has very few real weak areas. Turn the key and go. Whats not to like.
