I STILL don't really like the new 7-series.
But I dislike it less than when it first came out:D

The Z4 looks kinda weird to me still. Maybe I just need to get used to it.:dunno:

Yep. The sides of the 7 series is quite wide, very agressive. Ironically, the only thing I like about the Z4 is the back. I tried looking from ALL angles and only like it from the back... kind of like a S2000 on steroids.

I think the Z4 is the ugliest thing BMW has put out to date. I was very disappointed with it, after cars like the M3, M5 and Z8 I thought this would be a stunning car... it's not :thumbsdow

I saw the z4 at a turning lane on 14th last night on my way home. :thumbsdow It looked TERRIBLE from a partial front to side view, way too much going on in that car, i only looked at it for about 2 seconds, very disinterested, I was actually going to post this last night but i completely forgot.

Apparently whomever owned that car traded it in for a 3 series and an X5. Who the hell would trade in a 360 for a 3 series and an X5? :dunno:

Read the topic of this thread... Calgary BMW... Showroom... the dealership... Glendeer Circle. Calgary Automall...

hehe

Aparently that 360 is worth $250,000

And they let people touch it and scratch the paint!

The guy got an M3. Wow, you would think that with all the problems M3s have, he would have stuck to the 360 (which I am sure has its share of problems).

He sold his ferrari for a M3? Two M3's? or maybe a M3 and a X5? haha:love:

I was there on Saturday looking at a 330xi but ended up driving a 325i... I guess the salesman didn't really listen to what we were looking for... the salesman said that the guy got an M3 and some cash... Go figure.

he also said retail on the 360 is like $218,000... but since the waiting list in Canda is like 6 months to a year, the car actually appreciates and goes for like $250,000

I scared the shit out of my salesman... hahaha... he said that they like to do a demo to show the car's capability... he drove around like a sissy... although he bounced it off the redline the whole time. I guess you don't have to break-in BMWs.

When I drove the car, we went around a corner and the back end came out... I was hoping to drift, but the vehicle stability control kicked in... oh well.

The car was probably a used model.....anyway.....yes you can't drift with the traction control on! haha and you should still test drive the 330 because the power difference is VERY noticeable

shit for the price of the ferrari, he could have gotten:

new m3 base price: $73,800 can
new m5 base price: $105,500 can
new x5 4.4i base price: $69,800 can

= $249,100 can total, if he got $250,000 for his car. i got the prices from www.bmw.ca

Well, it only had 3.1 km... and yes it was the odometer not the trip meter... I would hate to be the sucker who bought that car... I want to drive a G35 coupe...

By the way, cool forum... I didn't know there was a Calgary specific one.

I spent most my time on superhonda.com and v6accord.com.

I found this place through revscene.net...

I doubt he got 250,000 for his car... cause what will Calgary BMW make if that is what they sell it for?

can you imagine the GST on a car like that? $17,500... you could by a Cavalier or a Honda Civic for that! shiat!

11-20-2002, 03:44 PM
well alright...let's say he got $225,000 for it:

x5 3.0i base price- $57,800
m3 base price- $73,800
540i base price- $74,800

= 18 grand in his pocket, or to make his cars extra :bigpimp: !!!

pocket the rest to pay for insurance for the year!!!

hell if he can afford a ferrari to start with, those extra 30k probably just pocket change for him!! maybe he was getting tooo much attention w/ it so he's trading it for bimmers!

The Beemer has decimal places for the odometer? Most cars I've seen have it rounded off to a whole number, and the trip odometers have the decimals. I guess bmw is just so special!
benyl
11-22-2002, 01:01 AM
well, I just flip between the two... can't remember if the odometer had decimal places... but I noticed that it had 3 k on both the trip and the odometer...

There's always Ferrari's at Lonestar, since they have trained ppl to work on 'em. There's no Ferrari dealership in Calgary, so it's either ship it to Van or do it at Lonestar.
