Far too many posts on here are people hating on others choice of car. Guess what, not everyone wants a racecar with a gazillion horsepower that is not even useful on most roads except the autobahn. Here are some of the regulars

  • People just buy so and so BMW for the badge. That’s okay. People buy Rolex, Patek, LV for the logo too. Sometimes people just want to feel like they’ve achieved something they aspired to. No need to shit on them

  • BMW X1 is just a mini…yeah And? Minis are great cars too and X1 is actually one of the best in its class especially with regards to space and that is reason enough to buy it, badge aside

  • I don’t get why people buy the X2/X4/X6( insert even numbered car here), they are slow, large, less space etc. Again different reasons for people to buy a car. Some of these are actually pretty cars. And some people like pretty looking things.

Also if whatever car is not your thing, just jog on. No need to comment. Literally scroll past!

Argh!

    So this is due to the fact that most people on this subreddit are from USA, where a car with a 2 liter engine is seen like a shitbox and wouldn’t even sell if it was the only car left in the world.

    In the USA BMW is seen as a high end luxury brand that produces only high hp cars and the cars that actually make BMW rich are basically non existent. In Europe most of the BMWs sold have a B47 or a B48, nothing more. B57 and B58 are less common (although I’ve seen many B57 lately) and the S58 or any V8 engine are much rarer, mostly due to taxes and fuel economy
