There speaks someone who's never owned one.

Because I'm bright enough not to. The front lights on them are
terrible, and bordering on illegal. I've seen enough BMW on car
shows to know they're tail happy (mainly because they insist on rear
wheel drive, which is ****e). They're ugly as hell to look at. The
parts are very expensive (I have a few friends stupid enough to own
them).

Like any car they have their strengths & weaknesses. If you had one
you'd have a more balanced view.


Mr Razor Blade is a fool. Pretty well all BMWs have had stability
control for 20 years or more. And traction control. And multi-link rear
suspension. So tail happy went out in the 80s.

Interesting he considers RWD ****e. That must be why all racing cars
are FWD.

Funny how almost every road car is FWD. RWD is for doing silly stunts.
FWD is easier to control.

until the Mini (real one) turned up, every car was RWD.
