Originally posted by Moongoose Well they did some testing for the new B7 in the us so you newer know, perhaps they imght just enter the market. Though i dont think they could keep up with demand, even as it is the waiting list for the alpina cars is quite long. Also the previous B7 was apparantly available (in limited quantities) trough some bmw dealers in the us. So some lucky bastards are driving thosein the us.

I am sure they had to do all the usual import shit. Since, it wasn't officially here, they probably had to provide test data and do the changes directly at the dealer for US consumption.

Originally posted by gehzumteufel See, I would much prefer the last gen front-end, due to the fact that it is still distinctly BMW. This new one, you could pretty easily mistake for a Maserati if you weren't a car person.

how, the fuck, would anyone that isnt a car person ever mistake something for a maserati. most people don't even know what a maserati looks like.

i understand both sides of the argument. i think the 5 was the best Bangle design, and i find the new one a bit bland. but i also think if you look at the line-up pic - that the last gen stands out as the weirdo. all the others look related, including the new one.

when i think of maserati i think of these tail lights:


and that is because they look like prelude tails:

I love the new //M3 GTS. Stripped/hardcore track machine ala GT3 RS... 400lbs lighter, 4.4L V8/450hp+, serious brake/suspension upgrades, adjustable front splitter/rear spoiler, etc etc.

The thing that I love about old BMW's has always been the floating headlights in the grille. If you want something distinctive that was around for over a decade, it was this grille.

Getmepulparse?

Please can you direct me to the nearest broomstick that is chrome compatible? Preferably with an android adapter?

Also I am in the market for some new clown shoes, which ones do you recommend for the casual user?

Are you really that butt hurt over me laughing at you? Good game. Always funny to see the likes of you Kinetic Energy and a few others that are so butt hurt over little.

If you think I don't know what I am talking about, feel free to challenge it.

No sir, but they definitely had the same turntable setup down here. It's damn sexy.

XR6?

Yep. My Holden is due for a service so I asked if I could switch to a Ford to try something new. The guy said he'd try to get me a black XR6 but since it's the xmas period there might be a bit of a wait.

Probably not a smart idea getting a black one in summer but meh, I'll complain later

Switching from GM to Ford...dont they shoot people for doing that down there?

The support is 50/50

Btw, never refer to a Holden as a GM. Ever. Holden have always had their own quality control and designers and any self respecting Aussie would kick you in the nuts if you called their Holden a GM.

Well thankfully my balls are out of reach for most aussies, and if we ever meet im sure to provide you with many other, other much better reasons for kicking me in the nuts


Besides i think ive mentioned this once before (perhaps even in this thread). Fighting over which is better, holden or ford is like fighting over which is better ass or balls cance. If you think about it, you really dont want either of those.

That's not true. Both Holden and the local Ford make very appropriate and quite good V6s for the Australian market that sell for a good price and retain their value.

There has been an influx of foreign cars that have added some spice into the market, but the constant competition between the two is a great thing for the consumer. They both update their V6s and V8s almost every 2nd year.
Repairs are also cheap, as are parts.
For 40-50K new, you can't go wrong in most cases.

Lulz. Most of the Ford vs Holden thing comes from Australian motor racing. The V8 Supercars thing wasn't always like it is now. For a couple of years (early/mid 90s) they had r32 GTR Skylines competing with the big V8 Falcons and Commodores. And hammering them pretty badly too, I should add. So, of course, they were removed from the competition, for the sake of 'parity'.

Aren't they thinking of adding the Toyota Aurions to it now?

Ah but you forget, i have lived here in europe all my life and we are taught to adore italian and german cars, accepts the frech, laugh at the english (except the astons) appreciate the reliabilitay of japanese cars as for everything else, disregard them as their existance is not of any importance




Also, i think this news bit explains everything about australian motor racing.

V8 fans face slab limit at Bathurst 1000 October 6, 2009 V8 fans will again be limited to one slab of beer a day at this year's Bathurst 1000 car race. Police will be focusing on reducing alcohol-related crime when petrol heads descend upon Mount Panorama, Bathurst, in NSW's central west, this week. For the third year running, adult race-goers will be limited to bringing one case (24 cans) of full-strength beer or one block (36 cans) of light or mid-strength beer each day. Restrictions also apply to one case (24 cans) of pre-mixed drinks a day or one cask of wine up to four litres. Combinations of the options will not be allowed. Source

I hate on Ford and GM all day, but the Aussie divisions are damn good.
