Shopping for a new car

[2020 Olympia]

Went to the BMW to drive tast these 3. Which one do you think suits me best?

[epic is back]

probobly the x6

probobly the x6

not my cup of tea.. tried the X5, 3 hybrid and the iX

[ElPolloSalmonello]

I'd go for a 3 series - the M40i version.

They made them bigger now and that engine packs a lot of punch - so you'll be getting close to M3 performance for way less cash.

If you want fun - gotta be an M or an M40i.

not really looking for performance. I want a nice confortable ride.

BMW's are the best.

Buy a comfy recliner or couch 

[ElPolloSalmonello]

BMW's are the best.

I dunno.

BMWs are less reliable than Mercs.

I've had one of each for the past 10 years or so - change every 3 years, although I just extended the warrantly on my C43 AMG 'cause due to covid - I've only done 26K kms in it and it's like new still.

But the BMW's have all broken down more than the Merc's. I wouldn't have 2 BMW's - cause I'd be worried of having them both in the shop and being without wheels.

BMW's are more fun to drive. Mercs more reliable.

530e then - decent performance and tres comfortable. I'd avoid the 7 series - it's like driving a boat.

The BMW SUVs I'm not so keen on.

Back 15 years ago I had a BMW from the 80's, made in Germany, and it was the smoothest ride I ever had. I don't know if those made in the USA are any good.

[bhank]

All 3 look nice to me

[FitnessFrenzy]

which one do you prefer, sev?

[GymnJuice]

Everyone has an SUV these days but I still prefer a sedan. Do you have a family and need a bigger vehicle for going to practices etc?

[joswift]

you have come a long way from the guy who pissed himself in an old shed

[deadz]

Waiting for my M5 Competition to be delivered.

They are great cars. More fun than Mercs for equivalent price

They make both in Thailand but last BMW we got came on a boat from Germany. No trouble yet at about 6 months old.

Maybe German built r better.

Run, don't walk, in your abfab Lucky Dip EuroTrainers to Dad's Dress Shirts Emporium the Salvos Lost and Found. Zhoosh and tuck, my pretties!

This fashion season boldly goes, and you can tell where it's off to with Knees Point The Way Trousers. There goes a snappy fellow who won't need directions to Cool Town!

[SGT BARNES]

who goes to a dealer and takes images in front of cars.....?

only a cornhole who would want you to believe they are "shopping for" or own the cars.

massive insecurity and lying noted

[2020 Olympia]

which one do you prefer, sev?

easily the 100k iX... vasrly superior driving experience, design and everything else. Double the prive of the 3 series. All of them are great cars and even the 3 series is everything I need really. However, when you drive the iX it is difficult going back down

[King Shizzo]

I like my 2011 335I twin turbo, x drive, M sport.

Everyone has an SUV these days but I still prefer a sedan. Do you have a family and need a bigger vehicle for going to practices etc?no actual need... I discovered recently that driving with herniated disks and a bad leg is not comforable unless you have premium seats. I drive a measly 5 miles on average daily. Rarely open road and roads here are tightz really bad and you cannot go above 75 mph because of many issues. So basically it is just a quirk
