Sorry but for me a Beemer just doesn't cut the mustard.
If I had to select a Beemer to drive it would have to be an old classic, maybe the original 3 series and that's about it.
I'll always love the aura which the Z breed provides. In fact the Nissan brand has inspired me for an older Z, such as the 2's or even a skyline which I used to hate and thought were ugly. But since knowing more about their heritage I've changed my train of thought and very much admire the path Nissan have taken with their sports cars.
Right now switch to the M3...... What's different between them all, not a great deal really.
I don't hate BMW but feel their cars in today's world just look drab and uncharacteristic.
Mercedes on the other hand with their outrageous black series, the SLS, SLR, that shows you exactly why BMW are like a wet fart.
Audi, hmmmm well, again drab. The R8 is okay, but nothing if put on my millionaires car list.
If I won the lottery I would still keep my Zed.....
Right.....time for another pint! *waiter*!
