OK, nevermind......don't wave to anyone....no one cares anyway. Just joking. A lot of people on this board need to lighten up.To quote Rodney King, "can't we all just get along".
Also, I am curious, maybe I'll start another post, how many of you M and non M owners track your cars? How many of you really know your cars capabilities or are they just for show? Mo |

No, it is now not a wonder to me why those few people always choose to take things connotatively. It's just a matter of simple human fallacy, which I've no interest in attempting to resolve because it'll never happen. If such a thing could be resolved, the world would be at peace. And we all know that's impossible You want to talk about how much "bite" our cars have? Just because you have FI doesn't make you the better driver. Let's take our cars out to the track and I'll show you what a bite really feels like when I run laps around you There's obviously an inferiority complex here because you keep bringing this crap up after so much effort I put into resolving your accusations of me. Why can't you just let it go? If you reply again after this, I'm not even going to respond anymore. I told you, I'm done talking to you and whoever else that has beef with me. I really could care less what you guys think of me anymore. I sleep well at night knowing I never meant any harm by my words; ever since the beginning. The fault lies solely with those of you who chose to comprehend those words against the grain. Geez! Just can't please everyone these days Quote:
I've tracked my two cars year-round since two years ago, so my cars definitely aren't just for show. I started out with the MR2, and then graduated to the Z4MC Last edited by mfanatic325; 02-01-2011 at 10:58 PM.. |

I'm not "accusing" you of anything. I'm simply trying to get you to acknowledge that your initial post used a poor choice of words. That's all. I agree with your main point about M's vs. normal Z4s. I said nothing about my ability, and I don't see its relevance. You said that "It's like how small dogs have a need to bark all the time because they feel inferior, even if no-one ever points fingers." The point being that Z4 owners feel the need to "bark" because they feel insecure about their lack of "bite." I was pointing out that my issues with your statement had nothing to do with some sort of inferiority when it came to my car as my car outperforms the cars in question. I apologize for somewhat derailing the thread, but people who make a mistake and then try to play it off like it's someone else's fault ("Jeez, all you guys are so sensitive!") kind of pisses me off. Taking responsibility for one's actions is a big deal to me. OT:If you (everybody) were to come across a 507 or Z8, would you wave? |

Z8, yes. I have done so--didn't get a wave back but that's because I couldn't catch the driver's eye (I think he was too occupied with the woman in the passenger seat, and from the what I could see I can't blame him).
507--I had to look it up, but yeah, sure! |

Re the topic at hand, its pretty clear that Mfanatic325 was only referring to the relative rarity of some of the Z models. He's justifiably proud of his M. My 3.0si is my first sports car ever, and its my first BMW ever. As such, I'm also quite proud of it. And its clear that everyone else here feels the same about their own car. All this back and forth is unproductive. The horse is dead Jim Instead, we should be doing this: Now, I have to go call that Mubarak fella and talk sense to him.

My problem was I drove a motorcycle for the last 3 years, so the hardest thing was teaching myself NOT to wave at other motorcycles. They tend to look at you like you're crazy.

Yup, it was used in one of the Pierce Brosnan Bond films. There is one Z8 in my town; I spotted it one lunch hour last fall. Very nice machine.

really? i thought that was common everywhere... at least around here, we always give the peace sign. occasionally the cruiser guys would not do it back when i was riding my r6. but if i was on the monster or naked, i'd get love from everyone... guess that style is the common denominator in the bike world, haha.
