Kia Optimas are smexy, but I just couldn't get over the Kia thing and it was also slower and I haven't read up enough on the motor to see what kinda potential it has.

Kia or not,those and the Rio look **** good. Wouldnt be caught dead in a soul though.

Your insane, lol..

When your steering feel gets dull and cars starts creaking and breaks after you pay for it good luck..

they made cars for people who can't afford a high proformance car..

Sorry you can't afford a m series..

the 5 528 etc is simply more affordable..

No way in hell you car will keep up with the 535..

And u talk about interior the BMW drives way better has more features much better sound system

More comfortable seats.. Lexus is close but they slow..

If you really think Toyota makes a better car I truly feel bad for you..

They make good cars but they are built cheap and you won't find performance parts..

How can you talk about the interior? The seats are superior the nav is superior stereos transmission..

I know they expensive but when you resale what you think is going to keep value better?

So you but things on just looks?

Not trying to be an *** hole but comparing a BMW to Toyota is like comparing dd to kicker subs..

The Japanese make a more reliable and easier to fix car, European cars are great when they work.

U obviously have no idea what you're talking about and are completely Bimmer blinded, so i'll leave u be.

Bimmers are decent cars though. Enjoy it bro. //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/smile.gif.1ebc41e1811405b213edfc4622c41e27.gif

For me it's about the driving experience. performance confort and luxury..

I'm sorry but Toyota just doesn't make such a car.. Good cars no doubt but you will see when you go to get it fixed they not nearly as cheap as they used to be..

I could buy a used z06 but they are not refined there a barebones sports car..

It doesn't ride like the m3, it's just not nearly as confortably..

I just love the BMW seats, nav, I drive is cool as hell it has a nice stereo it has the best of all worlds..

granted its going to cost a lot to fix but they are overbuilt..

They do have electrical problems but it's not often..

if you can find me something that compares to the m3 I'll get it..

I would buy a m3 e46 or any of the older ones they are fugly..

It has nothing to do with the name it's the engineering and concept..

guess that all comes down to personal preference b/c I disagree with a lot of what u seem to like in the Bimmers over other cars lol

Other cars that compare to the m3 off the top of my head would be the Cadillac CTS-V, Lexus IS-F, Audi RS4, and C63 AMG.

The caddy is abit faster but I don't want a caddy, gm just don't impress me..I'd be willing to be like all gm products it's gonna break after u pay for it..

I like the Benz but I doesn't have the controll or confidence the BMW gives..

I really like the Audi I am highly considering the rs4 and s5..

What the heck are u doing to your cars for them to break on u like that? My dad sold his Suburban with right at 200,000 miles on it and the buyer is still driving it today. There's an 03 Suburban in my backyard right now with over 100,000 miles, paid for, with zero issues besides the front seat motor going out.

My aunt bought a 95 Lexus LS 400 used with over 100,000 miles on it and has had zero issues...Every car in my uncle's yard, besides his wife's Altima is GM and they all have right at or more than 100k miles on em, no problems. I remember growing up, my parents had their fair share of Lexus, Benz, and Bimmers and only one major issue and that was in the S500 when the transmission was having problems right after the warranty ran out...other than that, I mean, I know of people with all different types of cars and they haven't had them break down on em...

you sure its not something you (or whoever your sources are) are doing wrong?

Every car has problems, no car is perfect..

Most cars get 200k if you take care of them..

I have a Nissan frontier as a work truck I pay off I a few months..

Transmission problem pledge them but it's not extremely common

I changed out the tcm it runs fine as of now..

I just feel in love with the m3 and they really don't have many problems..

You never know though I might buy a lemon..

Gm in general I won't buy, they just started to make cars with a ****..

The only dodge I'll buy is a 1500 or viper

On nissian I'll buy is the maxima or gtr..

I'd take any bez or audi honestly

I like the new fords I have respect for ford..

I'll take a sho if it wasn't do bulky and heavy..

Gm interiors **** balls..

just about everyone I know what a gm product says after a few years they hear new noises..

I wanna see you run 100 octane in your car //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/wink.gif.608e3ea05f1a9f98611af0861652f8fb.gif

I know a lot of people with a lot of different cars..

The bmws are every bit as reliable and I'm sorry but the m series really are some of the best cars money can buy..

You can get a m3 with 40k for under 45k with a warrentary, sure you can get a new Camaro Ss for that but lets be real you think that camero is gonna compete, rise as good or has the luxury the m3 does?

Cuz if it does I'll buy one..

This thread is lost! Not helping OP whatsoever. Dont ever compare Toyota to BMW, and or Lexus. I would compare Audi, Benz, and BMW, as they are always compared. The Audi is the most luxurious, the BMW best performance, and the Mercedes the best of both worlds. Straight savage power wise, but it isnt as controlled... Better interior than the BMW, but not on the Audis level. My pops has owned several BMWs and my grandma has a 750i. All are great cars, and held up very well. But of course, every car has its issues, and sadly when the German cars have issues, they cost a bit more. This is all coming from an unbiased perspective, since of course I own a crappy Neon... But no Camry on the face of the Earth will touch any BMW made, quality wise. I would take a 95 M3 over a brand new Camry. Not for gas, or even reliability, but for the fact that its a BMW and you will get respect driving it. This is all coming from someone who bout a 95 325is and got totally screwed. It was a bust, and had more problems than a war veteran. AND I also owned an 88 Toyota Camry that I really liked, but it was just too old (first car).

As for OP's question... They all look good, but are all totally different. Pick the car you like and drives best to you. They all have different purposes. I feel that the M5 is the best of all worlds tho. Fast, roomy, sporty, clean, etc. I am 5'4" and want a S550. Lol. I love big body cars. Scoot the seat up and roll!

Oh and that new Kia Optima is dope! Think I may pick one up next year.

You're kidding me? You truly think the Germans have ever made a more reliable car than Toyota or Honda? Get a grip man... I'll admit, I've had a blast driving the BMWs I have... But hearing about maintenance and repair costs (which should have been warrantied, and never occurred in the first place) from friends and family on their BMW and VW, I would never go near them. But, continue on with your ignorance. If you think "the ultimate driving experience" can only be obtained with a BMW, well, I feel sorry for you.

And I certainly think the Toyota will keep value better.. Look how **** cheap BMW or Audi are after they get 5 years old? Cheaper than any Toyota. I'm not trying to say one is better than the other, I could care less. I've driven both, and I've enjoyed both. But reliability and resale value... Toyota.

That's because BMW makes strides to improve there cars..

It's 2012 the 335i that goes for 50k 5 years later still is worth more than half it's original..

As for the Toyta I think they are overpriced..

Toyta makes good stuff but if you want a high performance luxury car toyta just doesn't cut it..

Take a look at the own parts before you say high maintance cost..

To change my plugs on my Nissan is the same procedure as a BMW and cost about the same..

Try repairing a caddy, or and high proformance car..

It built with better materials and more expensive parts that's why it's cost more and is more expensive to repair..

BMW is a very well balanced car and I've never had a toyta Nissan Honda dodge or Chevy that gave me the confidence comfort and ride the BMWs I drove did..

The Benz is more like the American cars

Big motor heavy

Let's put more power and claim its faster, lol foolish Americans..

Anyways bmws have proven to be reliable, if you see them broken down I promise it's because they where abused..

toyta was making faulty cars not long ago but noone seems to remember that..

People actually got killed..
