BMW is the king of the road. I'd admit that the C63 AMG is a little bit faster on the straight, but the E60 M5 is much better sounding, better in the corners, a little bit more of a driver's car, better build quality, and a lot sexier!

I don't like BMW owners, they are conceitid and spoiled yuppies, who try to compense their small *****es.

Not all of them. (I hope Wads is not reading this) BMWs are great cars and you don't have to be a spoiled yuppie to decide to buy a BMW. But those teenagers in beat up black E36s and E34 with tinted windows and "BMW Power" stickers... those are exactly as you described. And they give bad reputation to this brand. Bad reputation that this fine brand does not deserve.

I love inline 6 engines because Nissan Skyline GT-R (R32, R33, R34) has Inline 6 engine. I don't like BMW owners, they are conceitid and spoiled yuppies, who try to compense their small *****es.
