bmw 135=2.5

NO COMPARISON
Hate to be a brand snob, but this awards an extra 10 points automatically to the prestige category, more than even-ing things out. That's the sad reality.

Yeah well all you have to do then is pop your collar so everybody knows who is the biggest douchebag in the vicinity.

PS- Also wear big glasses and a pink polo

One thing I don't understand is why people think the 135i is so ugly? It's not the best looking BMW on the market in my opinion, but I really don't think it's ugly. Plus, a little body work really makes it look sporty:

^I think that looks a lot better than the stock car. The lip on the trunk does wonders. It would be even better if the lip was bigger or more raised.

I don't know about you, $4k is a lot of money for me, thats why my next car will be EVO X or STi or 135i, because those car from $35k-$40k. otherwise I will pick up the 335i now already !! Trust me a lot of people is going to get the 135i just bacause they don't want to spend $4k more for a 335i !! And 135i will NOT start at $30k-$34k. dream on.

You don't know **** about me dumbass so you can stop assuming. At least I'm not the one talking about some kind of status symbol when I purchase the cheapest BMW they make. Oh yeah such status symbol which automatically makes you a douchbag. Oh I'm sorry did I strike a nerve with the whole only *******s drive BMWs because they think its a status symbol?

I'm not assuming anything - I've read enough of your posts to know you're a childish, moronic little sh*t who can't do anything except flame people one minute then in the next, go crying to mommy to let you keep using her internet past your bedtime.

And if that description doesn't do you justice, perhaps you should think about making more reasonable posts, since people only have those to judge you by. Post like a retard, get treated like one.

Why don't you also tell Bentley Continental GT drivers and Ferrari 430 drivers they're not driving status symbols since they bought the cheapest new models ("entry level") in their respective makes? Dumbass.

Bottom line : ANY BMW has more *status* than ANY Mitsubishi. The new GTR and the old NSX are probably the ONLY Japanese cars that can possibly rock the prestige status quo, and a lot of people wouldn't even buy that argument.

Wow just when I think you couldn't make a dumber post you go and say that, you really do know how to impress. Thanks for proving my point about people that buy BMW's are douchebags because they think it gives them some status in the society over any normal guy even though that entry level BMW costs less than a G35. Thanks for making my job of proving you are a douchebag easy.

PS - Learn how to read I never said Mitsubishi has more of a status symbol all I said is people that buy BMW's for the status symbol and not because they like how it looks or it has some nice options are tools/douchebags. Kinda like yourself.

Wow, that's the best retort you could come up with? I'm impressed!

Get it through your thick skull that cost =/= prestige. Go ask the man on the street (not a car enthusiast) if they're more "wowed" by a Bimmer or a Nissan (oops..."Infiniti" or whatever). Repeat for twenty random people, and post the results on here honestly if you have the ***** for it.

Did you know that "Acura", "Lexus" and "Infiniti" are rebrandings done just for the dumb people (mainly in the American market) that like to forget they're driving Japanese cars?

Again, just floored by the quality of the comebacks.

And before you get your panties in a bunch again and call me a douche and so forth, let me make it clear that I, personally, currently drive a Japanese car, and intend to keep buying Japanese. I *can* afford a Bimmer, but I'm going for bang for the buck, and Japanese performance is still the way to go.

But the opinion of most people out there is that German cars are higher up in the status "food chain". It's that simple. I accept it, why can't you?

Yep just what I thought no facts or proof for anything that spews out of your useless mouth. I ask for facts and you give me 3 smiley faces because you can't provide any.

Ok, umm... Are you confused? What did I say? If anyone buys the cheapest BMW because he thinks its a status symbol is an idiot you just said it yourself about Acura, Infinity, Lexus. So what are you trying to prove? You seem to be confusing yourself so just stop before you fall further behind.
