BMW Ultimate Drive

Me and my s/o went to this event today, his third time, my first. in all we ( he drove - i passenger cuz i'm not 25) drove 5 BMWs
540i wagon - cool as hell, a little bit heavy in tight turns

530i 4 door - felt like it shifted roughly at 20,000 miles, just didn't accelerate as good or as fast as the 540i

X5 SUV - very smooth like a car, you could just see alot more. it felt very high up even compared to other SUV's we passed. decent acceleration until about 85 then it get a bit sluggish. too turns very well.

z3 4.0L - i think it was 4.0 anyway.. well for a v6 it was very fun to drive, handled very well, light weight, neat little car. very childish interior though, sort of like a porsche boxster - just annoying.

finally, the M series coupe - not sure what it is *really* called. this was the only standard we got to drive. poor quality of the shifter, the knob actually twists around - may be it was worn out.. very tiny, felt like we were sitting in a small box. good acceleration until about 120, then we lagged our way to 125 until we had to slow down. handled very nicve, low center of gravity.

we drove all of these over 100mph for a period of time, and the 540i was still our first choice. I want one some day anyhow, not the wagon though. I want one of the 400hp ones, heheh/
 
I'm INSANELY jealous!

(In a good sorta way - yano)


Sounds like you guys had a lot of fun.

YAY!
 
ahahaha

love the avatar. yoikes. ;)
 
yeah....try the M5.....it will put all the others to shame:) even the 850 wont touch it
 
they didnt hae an M5 or 850
best they had was 740il and they had it reserved so we couldnt drive it (and we arent 25)

M5 is my dream car, fo real
but i never seen them.. ever.. so i'll be happy w/a 540i.. w/sport thingy.. gotta be able to handle
 
thebabydoc, if I had to go with a benz, it'd be the CLK 430...or better yet, to compete with the M3, the AMG CLK55.

Sorry to crush your hopes, HS (hmmmm. those are insteresting initials) but the E55 is the flagship sports machine from M-B. Its bigger and faster than the CLK 55. For roughly the same money as the CLK 55 (actually less), a no brainer. That CLK is a bitch car, for mistresses and wives, plus M-B service, etc... sucks so bad, the E55 is the only car that they make that I'd even think of buying (because it makes up for the shit you have to put up with with M-B). Buy the way (pun intended) how's this strike you- 4 new Michellin Pilot Sport tires every 10-12,000 miles??!!?!??! :bawling:

:fro:

euhh what yu mean cause you're not 25 ??
 
i prefer the Audi A6

i do remember a thread about wich tires to buy. (I hate the Michelins, had them). So quote:

"Buy the way (pun intended) how's this strike you- 4 new Michellin Pilot Sport tires every 10-12,000 miles??!!?!??! "

That's one of the reasons i don't like them.

had to be over 25 yr. old to drive their 7 series or better for the Ultimate Drive

Holly shit move to canada, you only need a valid driver's license (so that means 16 yers old is enough) lol
