You would flame this kid if it was a Nissan. It just so happened to be a BMW.
Real BMW enthusiasts know what a BMW is. BMW arent Big Money Wasters. BMW owners are true enthusiasts, because Chris Bangle and his piece of **** chassis designs aside, most BMWs are a work of art. When comparing two cars in the same category, a BMW almost always has the upper hand.
To this day no one has matched the power to displacement ratio naturally aspirated of an e46 M3. The Honda S2000 might've come close when it was a 2.0, but the new 2.2 just lost it. It was funny that the 2.0s were a true sports car, because it requires someone to know what they are doing to take advantage of such a car (like the rotary engines), but they ask their producers to put some more torque, because it's the ****ty excuse for a bad driver.
Obviously you will always have that idiot who doesnt know the displacement in their engine, or who feels awkward because his car idles at something over than zero, but that's for all the brands, from ricer civics to Ferrari owners. There's always the idiot who won the lottery, bought a ferrari, and didnt even know the engine was in the back. There's always the Civic owner that doesnt know what VTEC does.
