Yes I do. Someone who is looking at a BMW 550i is not going to be looking at a Honda type R. I dont care what kind of performance bs your going to tell me, its not realistic competition.

 

1. Before becoming insulting and making assumptions about people, read their posts. Did I say "550i"? I asked about BMW. And wake up to the fact that not everyone want or can afford a 550i. Even keeping it to E60s, would you rather have a 520i or a type R?

2. Did I or indeed anyone else in this thread even mention performance?

All I'm pointing out is that for some people a Type R is a perfectly acceptable alternative to a BMW. Don't like that fact? Tough.

 

Yeah but look on the bright side, you can do as all sensible budgets do and go for the s2000 or nsx like probably most of guys over there if that's the situation, or get the most exclusive M3, more expensive yes but get the girls later as a standard package.

 

Situation is different here in the US compared to HK. In asia countries, the cars are normally smaller in engine and power. In the US where people are very obsessed with greater power, the engine is bigger and of course more power. So if someone in Asia is looking for a BMW with power almost equal to the type R, of course the price factor will be of a matter, and put the type R into competition.

 

Girls Not with a M3

 

yes you are right in some places.
most can not get a new 5er or a new 3er so they have to sick to jap cars. There are alot of street racer in HK and most is jap cars and I know some guy get a 3 to beat the jap cars
