If you can afford a BMW here why haggle?

Because the money saved on the car purchase can be put to use elsewhere.

Yes, my neighbor parks his M8 in front of the temple and sells stick-moo from the trunk. He uses the recess for the spare tire as a grill.

For those of us who only eat in Ferang Restaurants on USDAW imported steaks, what is sick moo ?, M8 is clear enough its a Thai Energy Drink Truck.:partytime2:

I was going to buy a BMW but why pay 3m for a 1.2m car?  I just couldn't do it.

 

Because you finally understood that the maximum that you could buy is a moped.

Mr. mogandave I don't feel an M5 or Porsche are middle class cars. Does this disturb you in any way that you wish to share? Come on, we wouldn't expect any less from you so go ahead an make your case against this. It's always good for a laugh. Now I did say you might be surprised to know there are middle class people in the US that are able to buy such cars and I know a few and that's something much less likely to be the case with Thailand's middle class due to tariffs. In case you haven't noticed, there is no one but you that finds these things to be controversial and condescending and bickers about it. And it's strange how this can happen with you so frequently. So maybe you need to think about the root causes of this. And also maybe why you are here. Finally, I have brief lesson for you today. When you switch to making personal attacks it means you've lost the technical argument. And that's something others know and understand and will notice when they see it. You lost today, but hopefully you've learned this one important thing in the process. I won't report your posts despite that they are against forum rules since I think it's even better for everyone to be able to judge you by your own posts.

Sorry you got your feelings hurt, but next time try a little more fact, and a lot less dialogue.

True, but if I remember correctly with the old interior.. The problem with Mercedes and BMW, although they have very nice cars, the engine choice is very limited and many are offered only diesel. Who wants an X6 with a diesel engine?

What is wrong with a diesel X6 or any other BMW diesel for that matter ?

The X6 is a unibody luxury crossover.

Claiming it is on a truck platform is ridiculous, but not surprising coming from you given your history of other such idiotic claims.

I wouldn’t buy it, this is just a personal opinion.. like I would never buy a Lamborghini diesel...
My point was very little choice in engines..

The 5 is for people that want a BMW but can’t really afford one. Did you get sport sticker model or the luxury sticker model?

The X4 looks much better and the price is competitive. Only available in the 2l turbo diesel. How can they combine an agressive look with such a underperforming engine...

MB , VW, and i suppose others have been fined millions of Euro for trying to fool emission laws. E 85 saves a lot of pollution.Have you ever followed a gunned clonker Benz, BM ect, a freakin embarrassment, blows more smoke than a Chipped Ranger

You seem to make a lot of critical comments throughout this post, so what car do you drive.............or are you too shy to say? Are the comments based on real experience?

Actually, i think you’d have a hard time finding another instance of me talking down someone’s ride. I think this was the only negative car comment I have made, and I made it to a specific poster that is (IMO) constantly talking out his a**.

I had the best car ever made until I retired a couple months ago, now I’m driving the wife’s ‘tuna.

The 5 is a nice car, but I wouldn’t spend that much for it unless I was rich, and if I was rich I’d get something nicer....
