Can a used luxury car really make you look rich?

No. Well, maybe for few weeks (in your mind). They’ll actually make you more poor. And here’s why: 2001 BMW 740iL, low miles, only $11,000! Wow, tempting  isn’t it? How could that be? You might wonder “didn’t that thing cost like $80,000 back then?” Yes, the keyword is “back then”. Would you drive a 10-year [...]

G-Power BMW X6 – The world’s fastest piece of crap

The folks at G-Power knew that BMW X6 isn’t capable of any real off-roading. They also knew that X6 hasn’t got any practicality. So they have decided to take the uselessness to the extreme and gave the X6 close to 900 horsepower, a 5500cc V-10. It costs a vomit-inducing $870,000 USD. Yes, it’s a lot [...]

BMW X6 vs. Infiniti FX

The designers of BMW X6 and the Infiniti FX must be going to the same gym. They somehow met by the bench press, became friends and decided they both should come up with the most useless vehicle ever created by man. The Infiniti guy did it first but BMW wins hands down. They have successfully [...]

2009 BMW 7-Series

BMW finally came to their senses and got rid of the “Bangle-Butt” on the 7-Series. The new 7 is roughly the same size as the outgoing model but it looks much tidier due to the stretched wheelbase. I see lot of tacky chrome stuff on the side of cars these days. If it doesn’t do [...]

Audi, the new Bimmer

Looks like Audi is finally getting the recognition it deserves. Every poseur, trendy, and yuppie wannabes are making the switch from BMW to Audi. Hopefully, this leaves BMW to its well deserved owners – people who truly appreciate a well engineered machine. BMW loyalists and enthusiasts alike have long been uneasy about BMW falling in [...]

Why make BMW 7-Series or Benz C-Class

Here is why I think BMW should stop making the 7-series and Mercedes-Benz should stop making the C-Class. Each of these cars are at the extreme ends of these two companies where they really have no business of being there in the first place. Enthusiasts would agree that “cheap Mercedes” or “luxury BMW” is an [...]

BMW M3 Sedan

You’d think that after the M3 sedan flopped in the 90s, that BMW would really think twice about bringing it back. And they did think twice because there was no M3 sedan for the previous generation. And I do believe BMW is smart in reintroducing the sedan now and not five years ago, for I [...]
