328 vs. Eclipse

You're right about that, on lookers. I'm not serious. But its fun when some assume that I am.

(In reply to toothbrush)

Hi i am here from the same site that Lunar and SCR came from(Team 2G). I as well of all of you share the pasion for BMWs. I have driven a 2003 Bimmer 335i and i must say it was a NICE ride. But comparing a bimmer to a dsm just on performance i would sitck with my dsm. As my other fellow dsmrs have said, it is prove that a 4g63 long block can make and hold up to 400hp on stock internals. My self i am at 340 horses on a holset turbo and bad fuel system. If i had a better tuning device and a better FPR i could have easily made close to 400 to the wheels. So call it a POS then, but i have spent about a third of the cost of a BMW and i am making twice as much power on a POS dsm.

Wow its an invasion.

Yes we know they can be faster.

But modify an M3.. then have the two have a go at it.

Well more power to you if thats what you like thats fine. BTW, the 335i started production in 2006 (2007 model), it was probably a 330i (E46) that you drove.

There are some of us who do like to mod quite a bit. Being a realist, I have no use for such power in stop-and-go traffic, so it doesn't really appeal to me for what I use my car for. Plus a modded eclipse (despite being good for what it is) is sadly portrayed as a ricer icon. You can thank all the boy racers with loud fart cans for that stereotype, even though it may not apply to you directly. Almost anything can be made to go fast. Really, thats not whats important. To each their own, however.

How about our fastest versus your fastest, no rules, except no motor swaps :P

Makes sense. That's what I loved about the beamer I drove. It'd be an AWESOME and comfortable commuter. (I couldn't afford to mod one any way, lol)

No motor swaps huh? That thing was RWD, hence no similarity to a DSM.

I dont even think ppl mod bmw's enough to beat that..

No is not an invasion. Like i said i have a pasion for cars as most of us. I am here to lear about the BMWs and gain knowledge. Because i do want to own some day one of this cars. That is all so dont think i am here just to pash on this car cuz i am not.

Hello, Ladies and Gentlemen.
I'm also from Team-2g. I'm not here looking for a fight, or to cause any kind of trouble. I just wanted to post something here defending all of us. We are all automotive enthusiasts, whether it be BMW or DSM. Each of us has his or her own tastes as to what we want to do with our cars. We all have our hang ups when it comes to the way we treat our cars. But at the end of the day, we all still love the same thing. The car we drive. That is all that matters.

They're really not that expensive for a decent used one. People think "oh you've got a bimmer you spoiled bitch," when you can get one (used) for less than a used Tahoe. Expensive to mod, yes, unfortunately. BUT, they're usually fun enough to drive even stock.

It didn't have a motor swap... fine, here:



Hahaha, and I'm totally kidding btw. But John Shepard (second vid) had his car streetable up a little after he broke into the 8's. There's another guy coming right up on his heels now. Ran a 9.27 just a little while ago.

Just look at it this way is there any true 5 speed car that can beat Jhon Shep 7 sec talon. I am at work so i can't really post any vids, but i am sure there is plenty of them on the youtube.

Thanks Steve you beat me to it about Shep's car.

Damn, thats fast shiznit.

Sh1t thats fast!!

Heres another fun racing video:

Chevy trailblazer vs Corvette Z06

Who do you think would win??

Can't we all just get along? Seriously though. Seems like the ones who are continuing to post here, are people who really do have a passion for both DSM and BMW camps.

Like aforementioned, BMW's have the stereotype of rich yuppies and stick their noses at the newspaper boy, where the DSM's have the stereotype of the Fast and the Fabulous and all the rice(EVEN THOUGH THEY ARE BUILT AND ASSEMBLED HERE IN NORMAL, IL USA). Given you all have little knowledge of our scene, at least a handful of us from Team 2G have come on board to try and learn about your BMW's without passing horrible judgement.

I can't speak for the animosity for the members of Team 2G nor the people in this BMW thread, but when it all comes down to it, we all have the same hobby with just different platforms. So stay true to your passion, but don't be ignorant to others as well.

^^Thank you

Well said. Thanks for your input.

I'm sure you'll love this one, lol, I'm sure most of you have probably seen it.



Hahahaha, all I've got to say is that kid got what was coming to him.

Edit: oh that makes me shiver everytime...

I second that

I respect anyone who has a passion for cars, be it a BMW, DSM or Lada. As long as you have petrol running through your veins then you are welcome here
