Which I'm not doing which means the M3 loses any advantage with me. Weirdly that was my exact point.



You're right it's worrysome. I want to know what BMW was smoking when they came up with their price point when Tesla is handing them their ass in the premium vehicle market. Tesla buyers typically used to be BMW and Audi buyers. I wonder why they moved on from their meticulously well built German marques that are inexpensive to service🤣 for a slapped together Tesla?

Seems the market might not be as convinced as you are. It also seems to be some of the problem I was having buying used examples. People just aren't paying for the expensive servicing and it results in very expensive failures down the road.

The thing is, Tesla plays in appliance category. Speed is not indicative of luxury or quality. If you want daily EV, well VW ID4 is far better proposition.
Remember, cheapness has qonsequences:

Face it, performance BMWs left any idea of being a premium enthusiast option for up and coming professionals and are now playing in the well off segment. No one is saying it is a bad car, it's just barking up the wrong tree altogether.

Premium enthusiast? 😂😂😂

You keep showing me Cybertruck junk. You know I bash those continuously. It might have well been developed my another species from another planet, let alone the same manufacturer.

I can't take you seriously at all on this topic. Especially with the M3 styling only a mother could love. Luckily the Cybertruck exists to take some of the heat off of BMW's modern styling. It's almost an exercise to see how butt ugly they can make the cars while still getting people to pay $100k for them. I think I lost that bet.

Tell me you buy cars because of neighors without telling me.

I don't know what that means. I'm saying the M3 has went up in market over the years. It's at a level where I don't feel comfortable buying a vehicle for that price.

Are my neighbors supposed to care what I drive? Am I supposed to take pictures of my surrounding area so you can explain what you mean by this? I live in a small Midwest town. I'm sure my neighbors don't care about what I drive. They all have trucks and probably aren't interested in anything I drive.

I'm sure they didn't give a second thought to my GTI or my F150. I'm sure they gave my old Jag an odd look, but I still do when I see that body style. It's not a common car.

Don't argue with trolls. They cannot follow a conversation; they just blather on. He's just sniveling because the BMW got beat by a car less than half its price. The race car driver and commentator deemed the M3P a better car than the M3.

Plus the M3P iPad interface makes the M3 interface look like a joke; it is simply much better. The BMW is a tech dinosaur and can't keep up.

I'm still waiting to see what I'm doing to try and impress my neighbors when this guy's shilling for $100k+ antiquated gasoline powered BMWs.

You might like the cars on my street. Our M3P is the best, IMO. You might want the Taycan Turbo or the Bi-Turbo Benz across the street. His wife drive a MYP like yours. I wanna see them go for it!

My old Tundra is the neighbor's favorite for obvious reasons. Not too many trucks beyond the F-150 Lightning around the corner.

It's pretty plain here to be honest. The usual trucks, but most of them are nice, newer, and well cared for. The neighbor across the street has a second gen Cadillac CTS in a metallic red with tan interior. Most are pretty normal somewhat modern crossovers. It's a pretty middle class blue collar town and I'm not in the fancier area on the water.

It's what you'd expect in a smaller midwest town. The guy that owns my favorite restaurant in town recently bought a Cybertruck. I've ran into other car enthusiasts in town randomly that spark conversations. I remember a guy who was a big VW/Audi enthusiast asked me about my GTI one day. He got into a Mach-E GT. I guess the real car guys are all buying EVs now. Weird.

Maybe someone can explain why it’s important to have the fastest and or most expensive car.

Personally I go more for a combination of fun and practical, but speed is a selling point. Notice I didn't say fastest and I'd prefer a more reasonable price point.

It's not. Some only see cars as basic transportation, others see cars as a lifestyle. Some wear their cars as jewelry, "look at me!"
I kinda like them all; they each have their place. And what I like has zero to do with other tastes. All good.
