Is it really worth the extra 30 grand?

Love the BMW

[QUOTE="imaps3fanboy"]I own a BMW 325i, I spent a lot less then 60,000 on it, but I did spent a substantial amount, I never looked back.. its a great car, and I guarantee you it's built much better then any ford mustangFUBAR24

wtf mang

Mustang 5.0. It's cheaper with practically the same performance. Style-wise both cars look really plain. It always seems like BMW is behind a generation in terms of styling. However, the M3 does look more classy, but just not aggressive enough for me.

I do find it hard to believe that Mustangs 0-60 is 4.4. Not sure if I trust that.

BMW's dont even turn heads theyre a family car, thats why only old people drive them and why young people drive mustangshadoken

Rather take a European car over American any day. The M3 looks better than any american "luxury" car imo.

Is a Ferrari worth an extra 100k?Fightingfan

I'd have neither. Can't afford any of those anytime soon.

Even if the 'Stang performs comparably, I'd rather have the M3. THAT SAID, it's quite difficult for me to say that I would drop an extra $30,000 grand on the M3 until I get to a point in life where that sum of money simply wouldn't matter to me. (not bloody likely ever)

Please let it die. I've seen more car ignorance in this thread than any other I can remember on OT. Plus it just needs to die. Again.

Well, considering I actually like to turn the steering wheel in my vehicles (a surprise, I know) I will take the much better handling BMW.

Yeah, what they don't tell you is that the Mustang still uses a live axel...it's like trying to turn a bathtub. I'm not saying that having independent suspension is worth another $30,000, but you're also paying for the name "BMW" and the quality of German engineering. Personally, I wouldn't get either car.

Is this topic a joke or what, an m3 or a mustang LOL LOL LOL.... Any sane minded person would choose the beemer evertime, i think james may said it best when talking about american cars 'more cup holders than cornering' which pretty much hits it dead on.

The mustang is huge in america cos they really dont know any better, you have to feel sorry for them dont u...:lol:

I'd definitely take the Mustang. Maybe the BMW handles better, I don't know, but I'm sure the Mustang would handle just fine as far as I'm concerned and the extra $30,000 I'd have would more than make up for the difference. Besides I'm more a Mustang guy than a BMW guy anyway.

Mustang, I guarantee you whatever luxuries the BMW has can be put into the Mustang for less than 30k.

Besides BMW's are for old men, Mustangs are for guys who **** different girls every night.

.....Mustangs are for guys who **** different girls every night.

as girls? Yes they do. Did you fail biology or something? Perhaps you are a result of inbreeding?

The Mustang is nice.

The thing with handling is, unless you're going to take it to a track often enough to justify the $30,000 price difference, when can you really take advantage of it? You wanna drive on a twisty stretch of public road at 80 mph knowing there may be someone else coming the other way at any moment? Not really all that attractive of a proposition, and you'll probably just get stuck behind some old guy going 40 anyway.

In the real world where the Top Gear film crew doesn't get the cops to close the road so they can film the cars going really fast, straight-line acceleration is about the only thing that can really be enjoyed with any frequency.

German Engineering > American Engineering.

1) 2 year old thread 2) I'm of the opinion that BMW, Porche, Mercedes are for bald men having a mid life crisis or spoiled rich girls. DaBrainz

Mercedes maybe. BMW, no.

If your at all concerned about attracting women with your choice the obvious choice would be the BMW

I am getting a new car soon and it's gonna be a 3 series BMW(a normal one) or a white Audi Q5. I'm leaning towards the Audi.

I'd get the BMW. I'm not a fan of American cars.

Thumbs up for people voting for the german car. I have both BMW 3 series and a Mercedes SL500. Amazing cars. Mustangs are so common compared to the M3. I would get the M3 in a heartbeat.

BMW

It's basically a mustang + class and refinement.

Where you could have fun going fast by yourself, and also take clients to lunch, show up at work in a suit looking great, etc.

Yes it's easily worth an extra 30 grand.
