And then somebody links my post and responds about the C63 and M3. Two cars I never mentioned. And now the trash talk starts up once again. Sigh.
This forum is becoming useless. Nobody can talk about anything unless it's some sort of BMW pep rally. I don't get it. Are people so insecure that they can't realize these are cars and nothing else. What you own doesn't determine who you are as a human being. Or your intelligence. Or status in life. Far from it. But that doesn't seem to be the case here. Most posters seem to be living that BMW owner stereotype, which is truly unfortunate. Unbeknownst to them, they are perpetuating that (inauspicious and overgeneralized) myth.
This is one of the most juvenile car forums on the internet, imho. I'm on it because I am a BMW fan and former owner (of many), and am ready for another car to add soon. Occasionally there's some good info here.
Why is it that other car forums can maturely discuss the pros and cons of their cars (and other makes) but rarely here?
This place sometimes feels like being in high school all over again. Which was a long time ago for me and a place I'm not interested in re-visiting.

It's been like that since late '07 and on to be honest. It went downhill fast after most of the old time recurring members stopped going. A new wave of kids hit the off-topic forum and it's been trickling into the rest of the forum. It sucks. I stopped going here for a couple of months but eventually got dragged back here because I have nothing to do at work.
You sort of just learn to put up with it.
