Hi Porsche and BMW lovers.
I have created this thread cause I have constated that in this forum there are to many BMW haters. I love this brand, I thing it's the BEST in this world. If you don't agree with me I don't care but let me just explain my opinion about that. Porsche is like a second BMW... When you are a happy BMW owner, you must have a Porsche as second car hidden in your garage. These two brands are complementary.
The Chris Bangle's style is very very controversial. But this man is making a great job. I love the new 7-series, the 5 and the 6. BMW for life and Porsche for fun. That's my slogan. With the 996, Porsche has made a great job. The 911 Turbo is the best Porsche. Ok ok there is the GT2. But the Turbo has 4 seats and 420hp a topspeed of 306km/h. 0-100 4.5 sec. the GT2 doesn't have 4 seats just 2 but it's very fast 320km/h, That's a bomb.
Mercedes is just like a BMW wanna-be... ha ha ha I know that my reputation will be down for this thread but that's my point of view... Peace

I've added a poll to this thread, because I'm curious as to how many people do actually like the new direction BMW designs have gone at the hands of Chris Bangle. I also made the votes public so there are no "closet" voters, ;) speak up and tell us where you stand, option 2 is the "play it safe option" :D

Personally I hate the new looks the 7,6 and 5 series all look unnecessarily heavy and awkward. To quote myself from another thread,
"If I was to pick a single fault with these designs ... its gotta be the thickness of the rear flanks .... is it possible that Chris Bangle is obsessed with Jennifer Lopez?

To state Mercedes-Benz is a BMW wannabe , is akin to saying Ferrari is a Porsche wannabe .... Mercedes-Benz and BMW are both great marques, I don't think it would be right to suggest that one is second to or inferior to the other.

Sorry I know that I'm a BMW fan but when I read that I just can say that you don't know the history of these brands. Ok Ok Mercedes is at the same level than BMW I admit that cause it true. But you can't say that BMW is closer to Audi and Mercedes is closer to Jaguar.

Jaguar was a great brand before but in the 80's and 90's they have lost all their reputation. Their cars are not solid and reliable. I have owned a Jaguar XK8 and I know what I'm talking about. Audi is a little brand who is growing. Now they can compete with the Greatest like BMW and Mercedes but everybody know that Mercedes and BMW are the biggest rivals in this world. Maybach has been made cause BMW has bought Rolls Royce and everybody know that. It was wrong to say Mercedes is wanna-be BMW that's ok.
But you can't compare Benz with Jaguar. Ok Jaguar is very respected but Jaguar has lost all his notoriety. Audi is great, but you can compare audi with VW. Sorry but that's a fact. Take a look at the Phaeton and the A8. Specialists compare A8 with S-Class and 7-series but they know that Audi A8 can't have the same respect than his rivals.

When NoOne said that Ferrari is a wannabe Porsche. I can say OK. But if you look closer, Ferrari just has the name. Their cars are not reliable, you cannot use a Ferrari everyday. Your Ferrari cannot cruise at 260km/h for 3 hours, your Ferrari cannot be use when it's rainning and when the snow is falling. That's a fact. Your Ferrari consumes 25l/100km the fastest Porsche consumes 19l/100km and the others can reach 9l/100km my Carrera can do that.
Porsche can be use when it's rainning, when it's snowing, in the mud, in the ice where you want. You can use your Porsche where you want. Porsche can't be a Ferrari wannabe...that's a fact.
I retire my words when I have said that Benz was a wannabe BMW. But I can say that Audi is a wannabe Benz and BMW and I maintain my opinion. Look after the history of this brand and you will agree my opinion.

I'm not english speaking so excuse me if there are to many mistakes. Peace

I respect your opinion and believe that your entitled to it, but how is Mercedes-Benz a BMW wanna-be?
Mercedes-Benz is the more recognized brand throughout the world, Mercedes-Benz sells more cars and has more appeal.
The outer brands that now extend out of Mercedes-Benz and BMW, such as Maybach and Rolls-Royce compete with each other. Don't know about you, but I believe that the Maybach 57 is way better than the Rolls-Royce Phantom.
You want to know my opinion? My opinion is that BMW is a Mercedes-Benz wanna-be! Don't get me wrong, I like both brands, but I'd take Mercedes-Benz because their cars have slightly more appeal.

When NoOne said that Ferrari is a wannabe Porsche. I can say OK. But if you look closer, Ferrari just has the name.

Don't you see? Do you think alot of buyers buy Ferraris for great performance? No, they buy them for the name, for the appeal. Porsche cars, like the 996 Turbo can out perform the 360 and cost much less. The 996 is probably much more reliable as well, but given the choice most people would still take the Ferrari because of the name and mass appeal.

Ok I just want to talk about BMW and Mercedes. You said that Mercedes sells more than BMW. You know why?? take a look at the history. And BMW is independant so they don't have more money than Mercedes. You know who owns Daimler-Benz??? It' the DEUTSCHE BANK. this is the biggest Bank in Europa and the second in the world. Now you understand why Mercedes can't fall down, but BMW can. I love BMW cause they are independant like Porsche and they must fight more harder than Mercedes cause they know that in this world "YOU EAT or they will eat you" and BMW is growing. That's why I love BMW. I love BMW cause in this world to many people dislike this brand, they all love Mercedes. And I don't like doing like other. You must think different and that's what BMW is doing. Chris Bangle is doing the same thing. When BMW will be loved by the wide world I will certainly say that they have lost their spirit. I don't like Ferrari cause everybody love Ferrari, and Ferrai is not independant. FIAT owns Ferrari or Porsche is independant. Personaly I love all independant brands, that why I love Lotus.
That's my point of view.

i can understand what your saying, im just basing what i said on how the cars are presented today regardless of their history. everyone that knows BMW and Mercedes know that theyre rivals, but its no longer a 2 way fight between the luxury marks, with the new XJ and the A8.

i think that the Chris Bangle deigns are just crap as far as BMW goes. If he had a job elswhere than BMW he would design the most stunning cars, but he doesn't, and he's stinking up BMW. where BMW is concerned, the following picture is the the pinnacle of BMW design. Chris Bangle designs his cars too swoopy and curvey. BMWs sould be solid-looking and have clean cut features, unlike what Bangle is doing. However i do think that the newest BMW interiors are the best they've had.

I don't know what you mean by, "Many people hate BMW".
It's true, Mercesdes-Benz has a much stronger financial background than BMW because it is owned by Deutsche Bank. But you're acting as if everyone hates BMW, people don't hate the BMW brand, many just prefer Mercedes-Benz.
BMW is one of the world's most respected and loved brands, there are many marque names out there whose name demands respect and BMW is one of them.
You act as though BMW and Porsche are going out of business.
Ok, I'll stop posting here now and leave you alone. I don't have a problem with your BMW and Porsche loving threard, but I don't understand you getting all defensive and stuff. :rolleyes:

None of the car brands that have been named are actually bad (maybe for quality.....talking about ferrari of course, still a kick ass car). But in choice i'm going to have to side with BMW of course, and Porsche, for one thing, you can not beat the quality and the performance of these cars. They are amazing, and to say that the new series of bimmers from the new designer are ugly is a stupid statement altogether. The older bmws were boxie, and looked plain, but still not ugly. They were bulldogs, and they still look like bulldogs just sexier, and with more curves. It still continues the tradition of being a kick ass car, and you can not ask for anything better.

Their 6 cylender engines are ever reliable but in anything less then a 330 aredoughy at best although when you get into those brackes they are quite lusty engines
The Z4 now that is a top car not only in looks but also in performance and handeling although its pricetag is quite unapealing and a M3 is not really worse off in all them areas as well and is a more desirable price as well.
As for their styling while i dont think any of them are truely ugly cars to me their unapealing thats also a combination of price,looks and handeling most of them dont feel really to sure on the road to me. Hell i drove a brandnew subaru liberty RX and i rate that higher then nearly every beemer ive ever driven its simplicty and tacky rubber mats are easy to detail and compared to most bread and butter BMWs that cost nearly 20 to even 40k more and it was a lot more lusty and a better handeler to the 330s imo. And I got a BMWhat from work and it is worth about$45 and the f1 hats the other detailers wear are worth near $75 its all about names my ford hat which i like a lot more cost $25. Its all about names.

Well as a worker io dread the fact that that there are no X5s or Z8s in this country othert then secial order i guess they arnt looking after aussies
PS i just came back from the pub so if im raveing on pelase excsue that
And my BMW experiances are all based on the fact that ive driven and worked on them nothing else i will not say they are bad cars because their not. But what i will say is nearlyevery BMW other then the M3 and a Z4 really fairl to get the pule raceing.


theres tonnes of X5's here, theyve just got no appeal either cause people dont see them as a proper 4WD or because of the fact that its got shocking quality for a BMW. i think the reason behind us not getting the Z8 is either cause theres no RHD version, or because of some crazy thing my friend said that the engine curves forward or something which keeps it out of the country. the idiot doesnt realise it shares its engine with the M5 that we get then

well there must be some sort of supply deal set up, cause wheels and motor seem to be able to get one and test it whenever they feel the need to, the last time i think i head of a test with the car was when wheels took 2 bikes, an X5 M3 and M5 out along stuart highway and found the so called 250km/h speed limiters were really 260 on the 5 and 270 on the 3

comparing Audi with BMW

Audi makes FF cars or AWD cars, they try to make cars that stick to the road or just have a little of understeering

BMW makes FR cars, that's why BMW is fun to drive, so it's a total differant world.

About the topic, the new Beemers are beautiful, you just have to get used to it. The but of the 7 is ugly, but it has style. Chris Bangle worked for ohter manufactures, he made the Fiat Multipla, the ugliest car in the world. So I think, his job at BMW is more than fine. Offcourse, there isn't a better BMW as the E30, or maybe the M3 CSL

And Mercedes is the BMW for old people
