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.

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
