Re: Mercedes C-Class or BMW 3-Series? you are forgiven.....

Re: Mercedes C-Class or BMW 3-Series? IMHO, I think the S-Class is nice and well-proportioned. A scale down version of it in the form of the new C-Class can't go very wrong...A colleague has seen it in Germany in its physical form. He said he was overwhelmed by the new look and the presence it...

Re: Mercedes C-Class or BMW 3-Series? You actually meant you hated it because it looked like a Toyota + Lexus?:lol2: Come on, look at the progressive design cues on the IS, GS and LS...or the Mark X you are hinting at :singsing: A lot of my friends say my E90 looks like a Toyota Vios or the...

Re: Mercedes C-Class or BMW 3-Series? Yeah, the E90 is a weak attempt to look non-Bangle. Kudos to Merc! I have read in mags that said the C Class is as good as the 3-er except that the 3-er drives a wee bit better. But if prestige is the name of the game, the Merc reigns, at least in its...

Re: New BMW ///M3 4-door sedan & cabriolet Why can't they change the rear of the 4-dr M3 to be like the coupe? I still can't get to like the cramped and unstately rear view of my E90 leh...

Re: Very Rude BMW E90 320i-Black with ACSchnitzer rims-SGK 7**3L Hold it right there! Didn't know that by saying a product is desired and bought by many kinds of people from all walks of life (a MOTLEY CREW, that is) is Stereotyping.In fact a wide spectrum of characters were mentioned, there...

Re: Very Rude BMW E90 320i-Black with ACSchnitzer rims-SGK 7**3L :oops: ......

Re: Very Rude BMW E90 320i-Black with ACSchnitzer rims-SGK 7**3L Alas, the bimmer owners demographics is but a motley crew of Bengs, closet Bengs, nouveau riche, wannabes, rich men's sons, the aspirationals, pseudos, mistresses, tai-tais....etc . However, sadly, the best behaved and exemplary...

Re: Ang Mo cyclist Actually most Ang Mos who have lived here long enough think that we locals are low-lifers on a drip. They scorn at our government and our "military-styled" system. This pales against the first time they arrived on our shores. Back then, they were fascinated by how a small...

Re: Sheer Power from the e92 ///M3 The rear is too cluttered. The lamps are like those of the old outgoing Camry. However, the power is exhilarating. Wonder what car the cameraman was in, fact that it did a good job keeping pace. Hmm..maybe it's a 335 pretending to be one..

Re: [you], what BMW do you drive NOW? My ride is the very humble and standard E90 320. Drive my bro's IS250 on most weekends cos' my ride is always washed on waxed on Saturdays and my bro doesn't leave home on weekend!

Re: Just bought my first BMW.. Congrats! Respray it before CNY!

Re: BMW Car Care, ie carwash, polishing etc When I said it's expensive, I really meant it. Whenever I am there, my eyes are always feasting at cars that you don't always see on the roads. Phantoms, Lambos, Porsches, Ferraris, Bentleys etc etc... CarWerks has a rather different system. The...

Re: BMW Car Care, ie carwash, polishing etc You guys may want to try CarWerks along Owen Road... Expensive but ultimate protection on the paintwork and bling bling guaranteed!

Re: Bimmer owner demographics at PML In the 90's the general impression one got of Bimmer owners were those young executives usually from well-to-do families...Mercs were more for Ah Pehs with Rolexes. In this millenium, Mercs are still for Ah Pehs with Rolexes. As for BMW, it's kinda blurred...

Re: Bimmer owner demographics at PML There was this 40+-yr old guy with dyed blonde hair swearing at the service guy in Hokkien right infront of everybody in the showroom. He was saying he paid over $200k and was not expecting bad quality and service. He said his previous S-Class was...

Dunno if I'm seeing things or hearing them for the matter. During the last few visits to PML for scheduled servicing, I couldn't help but "conclude" and "infer" that a good number of Bimmer owners are Ah Bengs/Ah Sengs... Don't flame me for this observation! I am a closet Beng too!:nehnehhh:

Re: 320i or 323i The real aficionados (bros that indulge in Z4, M3, M5, 645 and up) aside, a number of bros in the previous replies claimed that in deciding between the IS250 and the 320/323, the decision was made on the very fact that the 3-series handles and takes corners better and that it...

Re: 320i or 323i If you don't like to get "chiet" by a Mazda 6 2.3, IS250, Mark X or even a Honda Accord JDM, bro, get the 325!!!!!

Re: 320i or 323i My elder brother bought an IS250 and I bought a 320 around the same time early this year. When the 323 was introduced, I was adamant not to test drive it for I know it would be painful.... I have driven my bro's ride a few times over the weekends and he was always asking...
