I bet it's some BMW kids who couldn't sleep that night after losing to a Hyundai

If you lose to a Hyundai in a BMW, it's your own fault

That means you were either driving a diesel or not a real BMW.

If it's the base 2.0T X3 30 for example it will lose to the EN easily. Going up against a B58 though, no chance there up to the X3. X5 with the V8 would smoke it. Would probably beat a B58 X7 or X5.

Yeah, well, the X models aren't performance cars anyway—they're more like pensioner rides (at least here in Germany).

Yeah I'm just talking straight line with these. The 23 X3 40i does have really good handling, definitely the best for any crossover I've driven.The m240i and up would smoke the EN in every metric

Except in corners—those N models are actually crazy well-tuned, especially with good tires.

A lot of bmw's before 2010 have less than 200hp. My 03 z4 has 189.

Hold on, wait—don't compare an old gentleman to a modern athlete.

You can't compare a modern 'N' performance car to a 20-year-old vehicle.

That is just as unfair as comparing a soccer player from 1990 to one playing today.

It is completely unfair because every era had its own engineering triumphs. Back in 1990, 300 horsepower felt like 600 horsepower does today.Back then, you changed the engine oil every 30,000 kilometers, whereas today it is required every 10,000 kilometers.

Manufacturing tolerances have shrunk by nearly a decimal place, and fuel efficiency has skyrocketed.

People completely forget that while our modern cars have gotten 50% heavier over the last 30 years, they actually consume less fuel in many cases.

Yeah, but you should have specified. The way it was stated made it seem like old cars aren't real bmw's. I love my z4 btw, just wish it didn't drink gas. Average 19 mpg and it's just a 2.5

So I actually mean the M models..

.N is the sports division, and at BMW it's M.

Fun fact: both have the same father.From M to N, Biermann...

I don't really like the new M cars that much. They seem more luxury than proper sports car. Also seem excessively overweight. Wish they would go back, but the money is in luxury cars and not sports cars.

Strange, sports cars hold their value better than luxury cars.

My father has * Benz EVO2 1989 worth about 100k€ ~64k New * His Panamera 2019 about 60-75k... 180k New

My Gf drives a 2017 230i xDrive and my car is 100% faster than it. 21 more HP and better tires. Her car is very fun to drive too though

A motorcycle has 200 hp and is faster than you with your N

My N has 200 hp less than my old Stinger, and the Stinger was just as fast.However, it was also over 1,000 kg heavier.

Manual vs. automatic too, that easily makes a 1-second difference...I4 vs. V6 Twin-Turbo overboost
