Lexus has always been Toyota.
This thread is bad and you should feel bad.
audi has always been vw too
>Op is tainted by autism
>Citroen making better interiors than Mercedes
When will this meme stop? It's so wrong
Is Ducati tainted? I must know if I need to throw it in the trash or not.
You're a fool, OP.
VW
BMW us tainted by crossovers, and FWD Chinese junk
What is a luxury vehicle? Is it just 'expensive and nice'? Is there a cutoff? A 30k mazda 3 is like a luxury car for me.
>panigayle
What's wrong with it?
luxury is anything fancier than econobox
it's volkswagen
Well, my thoughts - having owned a few ... and not slav 20 year old shitbox molested but actually OEM and new, just saying i'm concerned with the confusion with the 3 and 4 series and GT models and wtf is the 2 and 1 series. It's always been a mess of model lines the 1979 M635Csi was a fun car but M3 was better but now that is 4 doors and I am just confused.
MB has gone full Kardashit and bling city
Lexus is Toyota - plastic and drivetrains. Good but not luxury. Jaguar is still in the shop. Will update. Volvo is ahead with the morally superior ad campaign but their cars still have reliability issues. 4 cylinder super/turbocharger is no way to build your model line. Alf Romeo is I-talian shit.
Genesis is like Hyunnday Kee-ah and the rest of that chink shit - economic espionage and reverse engineered German and American vehicles.
Lincoln makes better cars than anything BMW shits out.
>he forgets about porsche
post a lincoln better than the new M5
Porsche is tainted by vw
y not a regular 5 series
because you need to back a strong claim “shits on any bmw”
>Alfa Romeo tainted by Chrysler
How does a marque higher in the hierarchy than the subsidiary get tainted?
This is true
Alfa was purchased and owned by Fiat Chrysler, not the other way around.
>Alfa was purchased by Fiat Chrysler
Alfa was already a Fiat product for roughly 20 years previous to this merger and suffered under the GM part ownership era.
Does Subaru make nice luxuryish cars?
Clearly you’ve never driven a late model poverty spec 318i with cloth interior
BMW is tainted from the very beginning. First BMW car ever was a licensed copy of Austin Seven - first European peoples' car inspired by success of Ford T.
Until late 70's BMW wasn't considered luxury brand. Putting it au pair Mercedes at these times would be treated as a joke. It kinda caught up in late 80's.
>bmw wasnt considered a luxury brand until 70’s
Yeah that is bullshit. BMW began building luxury cars in the 1930’s.
So... Top of the line 50hp BMW to compete with entry level Mercedes 170V. Wow, guys... You're not even trying. Any match for this?
>poorfag doesn't know what luxury actually means
Beep beep! Luxury vehicle coming through!
Rolls-Royce tainted by BMW
/thread
Because Bentley and Rolls Royce no longer exist, apparently.
170v was a mid size car.
I posted a mid size luxury car and a full size luxury car.
Clueless pleb.
Yeah, you tried.
170v wasn’t even a luxury car fucking retard.
>meanwhile, in reality
>mecedes makes cars with higher interior quality, better interior materials, a more refined ride, less NVH, and more attractive interior design
>bmw gave up its calling card, sportiness and engaged driving experience, in favor of chasing mercedes
>so they now make basically worse mercedes
your definition of tained-by needs some work dude
What made you think 326 was?
BMWs have higher cabin build quality across the entire lineuo except the S Class.
Mercedes interiors look nicer, BMW interiors have higher quality.
The new genesis platforms aren't supposed to be based on anything from Hyundai/Kia. Supposed to be entirely different designed cars from the ground up.
Is there any reason to get a 435/440i over a 235/240i?
Or a 335i/340i over a 435i/440i GC?
>I know this because I drive a 20 year old entry level BMW with 200,000 miles and rust
lol the stupid swaggot beamer cunts on this board never cease to amaze me
BMW's classification/naming is fucking retarded, it used to go in numerical order from lowest grade/entry level up to highest grade/top tier sedans
now it's just random shit all over the place, an E82 (128) looks better and performs better than most 3 series today
explain this shit
you can go ahead and shut the fuck already. you clearly don't know shit.
i tell you waht
>you will never drive this Citroen
why live?
It is hard to compete with how many extras a fully loaded E46 comes with..
Completely unrivaled considering the cost of one
until you consider the repair bills.
ask me how much i spent restoring a heavily abused e46 330ci convertible
go ahead
ask
pic related taken @ at dealer the day i bought it
>"reeee E46s cost so much"
>bought a heavily abused car
Wow, who'd of thought a mistreated car would have high repair costs.
Wow sweetie. Sorry I ruined your day with all those facts you sadly cannot deny.
>BMW is tainted by all it's shitty owners
No, actually I know this because I work at Benz dealership. Kys
Mercedes Benz has more Luxurious looking cabins, but BMWs has better built ones. Go to any used car dealership and see for yourself how the interiors are holding up
>tfw bought a BMW from a Mercedes mechanic because BMWs have cheaper parts according to him
Pretty cool guy. He took good care of it and I bought some additional parts from him in the future.
yup, I also drive a BMW they are more fun to drive with less probability of catastrophic failures. I do get some shit from my coworkers but most of them are badgewhores not car enthusiasts
>Implying BMW isn't tainted by Mini.
>Mini is premium
>shitty ff cars and crossovers
>most popular car is poverty tier 3 series and 1.6 litre hatchbacks
>luxury
bah. maybe bmw 20 years ago for sure
E34 were the mot aesthetic 5 series ever made.
but mini is owned by BMW not the other way around unlike the rest of brands.
the e39 has a better side profile than the e34 but the e34 just looks so much better from the front/back.
I think the E34 still cuts a pretty nice side profile though.
doesn't have bemmii or merc badge
>all those hard edges and triangles
At least post one of the actually good Citroen interiors dude, the one you posted is garbage.
yeah it's still pretty lovely but there's something special about the way the e39 loops from the back to the front. the drop at the front with the size ratio between the back and the front is just perfect. that era of bmw is the pinnacle of car aesthetics imo. i would take the e34 every time if had the choice
IME BMW drivers are no worse than Merc drivers. Neither are as obnoxious as Audi shitheads anyway.
>citroen
More like automatic handbreak simulator with wheels and plastic.
They've aged pretty well imo. They're classic looking but have such modern styling cues at the same time.
Mini IS premium. You just gonna stand there and pretend like a mini is on the same level as a mazda 3?
>ywn own a citroen c6
that super minimalistic design reminds me of Volvo S80 and is even fucking better. I fucking want that car
Anyone else have an urge to eat the dashboard and all the creme colored parts?
imagine wanting that interior
> Lexus plastic
At least they keep it in the interior, I was considering a BMW 530 before I saw horror photos of disintegrated plastic pieces that came out of the engine
>Those seats.
I just want to sit in them forever
I don't particularly think it's attractive, but it is no doubt premium.
e46 vs e90/92?
is the latter worth 3-4k euro more?
Is 4.8k euro too much for an e46 3.0d coupe with 200k km? Seems to be in good shape.
I can find 2.0d for like 1-2k less but I heard 3.0d is better.
Should I wait for other offers to pop up or ask him to lower it a bit?
color needs some changing
"Pee" MW's are for faggots
no u
>Ameritard doesn't know 3-series is a fleet vehicle with 110hp diesel.
>Ameritard doesn't know 3-series base model is a 3-cylnder 1.5 liter
So?
Benz C Class base models are underpowered diesels too.
The last 3 series with 110hp was the E36 btw.
>bmw
>luxury
Its only driven by gypsies and poor people who need to look rich dumb amerimutt
says the “””rich””” europoor driving his 1.4 liter Polo.
Pure luxury
I like it, except the screen in the console
only in europe are the people so poor that major car companies have to cut so much out of their nice vehicles so the european "middle" class can afford one
meanwhile broke US college students are hoarding e90 m3's
>pure luxury
How can the rest even compete?
