Best BMW for performance?

There are three options here. There's the 135i, the 135m, the 335is and the M3. Personally I like the 335is the most. I think it looks amazing, its not too big, not to small, it has the same engine as the 135m, it has a very smooth gearbox and it's extremely comfortable. But the others are not some show offs either. But here's the issue, which one is the best for performance and your wallet?
*Note, each car is fully loaded with options.

Let's start with the 135i. It is probably the second best in the list. It's very compact, light, agile, and after all that, it's extremely ugly. No really, the 135i and m both are probably the ugliest in the list. However it does come with amazing seats. You have a huge selection of leather colors and trim options. It does come standart with a i6-twin turbo. This engine has so much power, and the car is so light that it does 0-60 faster than the M3 at 4.8 seconds. It's top speed is over 160mph (let's forget the limited top speed). If you want you can shove a sport suspension on it for $1500 straight out of the factory and you'll get yourself a 135M. Fully loaded its MSRP is  $52,108. Quite fair don't you think? And you might think its the cheapest in the list, but think again.

The 135M is the cheapest in the list at MSRP $50,081. Yep yep, lighter, faster, better looking and more agile, and yet its cheaper than the 135i. Why? Because of the leather and all the rest of the options. As much as I love sports coupes, these two completely redefine them. You usually expect a sports coupe not to go over $30k, and $40 is the limit, and the stock 135i costs $39,422 MSRP. A fully loaded one is more expensive than the M version, but is it faster? Well the 135M does 0-60 in a mere 4.5 seconds, much faster than the 135i. It has a top speed also over 160 mph. It handles better than the 135i. It even uses higher quality materials than the 135i for it's bodywork. But it's interior is so poor, and it has so little options, that it really does make it feel less significant than the 135i. It's package shelf is so narrow it only comes with three color options- orange, black and white. However it is the fastest M series in the list around the corners. It is easier to drive than the M3 and it is cheaper than the 135i so could it be the best in the list? First let's finish looking at the rest of the BMWs, and go on to my favorite one, the 335is.

The 335is looks amazing from every angle. If I have to buy a BMW, I'll definitely get this one. It's not too big, not too small, it's not too fast but faster than the M3 on the short run, doing 0-60 in 4.9 seconds. It has almost the same top speed as M3 at over 170 mph and is the third best handling performance BMW. It also sounds amazing and looks so awesome from the back. So why would anybody buy an M3 over 335is? It looks nicer, is faster on the short run, handles almost as good, and comes with much better options and with some cash laid in there, it can destroy any M3 on the straight. It's also cheaper, being at MSRP $68,367. But the fact of the matter is, people prefer M3 because it's a three series with a V8 and an M badge. That's why people prefer M3. And speaking of the devil...

Here it is. The fastest M coupe on the long run, with a top speed at over 175mph, ready to destroy anyone and anything that gets in its way, the BMW M3- the most expensive and the second best handling in the list. Some people think its the most amazing looking BMW ever made, but I'll stick to the 335is. It uses a naturally aspirate 420 hp V8, unlike its rivals that all use 320-345 hp twin-turbo V6. It comes with the most advanced suspension of them all. It has the best aerodynamics and is the most manual. It does a 0-60 in 5.0 seconds flat, however with traction off and a decent driver, some claim, it can do it in 4.8 seconds. The fact of the matter is it does come with crappy tires but that's easily fixable. It does have a lot of options, and it does look amazing in red, and it costs more than any of the three we've reviewed so far - MSRP $78,620. So which one is the best?
On the short run, the 135M is the fastest. However after the 70 mile mark, the M3 takes over, being the fastest on the straight.
The most beautiful without a question is the 335is.
The 135M, as agile it can be, is the best handling in the list.
The M3 is the most fun to drive
So the 135i doesn't feel left out, we'll say something about it too- it is the ugliest on the list.
The 135M is the cheapest on the list.
The M3 is the best looking among all M models.
The M3 has a more advanced suspension and with better tires, it could beat the 135M.
The 135M redefines sports coupe while M3 demonstrates what a V8 can do in a small car.
So this was narrowed down to the 135M and the M3. Which one?
The M3 redlines 8000, which is a hit for a V8.
The 135M has twin turbos which is a key to its power and when they kick, oh boy you feel like your brains are squashed by the back of your head.
The M3 has so much torque that it won't be surprising if the seat belts pop out when accelerating.
The M3 has more options
The M3 has a better transmission
The M3 has a better exhaust system and finally the M3 has the best stereo amongst all Ms. So without a doubt, the M3 is the best performance BMW you could buy. The second best is the 135M, since it is the cheapest and virtually as fast as the M3. The third best is the 335is being the most beautiful and delivering the looks over the M3 with the thrill of 135M twin turbos and the last but not least is the 135i being the uglies BMW in the history and yet managing to stay fun to drive.

Every good story has an end- our favorite JDM discontinued.

And there they go, the best cars Japan has to offer and the best cars that the world has ever seen - We will never see them again. Mitsubishi has announced that Lancer Evolution will be discontinued. The new 2011 STi is the last STi. S2000 was discontinued in '09. NSX in '04. RX-8 is simply a shadow of a car that was discontinued nearly 10 years ago and that too will be soon discontinued. What are we left with? The GTR, IS-F, LF-A, Civic Si and some random German BS. Ford finally stepped in the game with their Boss 302 but there's no one to compete against anymore. If you want to feel that VTEC in the NSX, you will have to find a used one- which is just as hard as climbing the mount Everest- possible and yet impossible at the same time. RX-7 are all turned into project cars, Integra Type-R costs 20,000 dollars and Supras are all raped. There are rumors that the new Evo 11 (which will be JDM only) will have a diesel engine- A DIESEL! Well, it sure was a fun ride, but I guess it's time to say goodbye, and hope that in future we will see JDM cars return, better than ever.

Americans finally made a car that handles- Boss 302

What do you get when you combine an M3 with a Mustang? Boss 302- the first American car that actually handles. It has adjustable shocks, quad-exhaust and a 440 horsepower high-rev V8 engine. You might think- "well, there's nothing new about this, we've seen all of this in the Evos and M3s."- and you are most certainly right, except for one thing. This isn't another Japanese car with the spirit of a samurai or another German car with the looks of a sad Nazi. This is a true American body-builder, except for unlike any other body-builder, this one's got balls. If Ford Mustang GT managed to keep up to the M3 in the Motor Trend test, can you imagine what this car is capable of? This car is now on a much higher level than the M3. It has Brembo brakes and a three-gauge kit. But what's more, this car, unlike the M3, has pride- the pride of a true Boss- which will be passed down to the driver.

Top 5 Most legendary cars

1. Nissan Skyline R34 GT-R
This car makes all the Initial-D stuff look like a joke. This car, the "King up Uphill Racing", the most interesting and one of the fastest cars this world has ever seen. It has a 5.8" LCD in the dashboard, 330hp under the bonnet and doing a 0-60 in 4.5 seconds, for a car that was presented in 1999 and destroyed everything around, it's worth ordering one from Japan. It comes with a 2.6 straight-six twin-turbo charged, for a more powerful boost with less lag. It's handling embarrasses the laws of nature. Even now it destroys the STi's and EVO's and can freely compete with it's shadow, GT-R 35.

2. Mazda RX-7 FD

These cars still cost well over $25,000 stock. They are awesome looking, fast, and most of all, legendary. This baby had and still has 276 hp under the bonnet. It crushes the RX-8 with it's twin turbos and 1.3L rotary engine. Some versions of this car had leather seats. It does 0-60 in under 5 seconds and has a top speed of 160mph. That's just as fast as '06 STi, and it's 13 years older than the '06 STi. On the Skidpad it does up to .99gs and can rev up to 8000rpm and does slalom in blasting 70 mph. There's a reason it's one of the top choices for movies, drift and track racing.

3. Mitsubishi Lancer Evolution VI

Mitsubishi Lancer Evolution IX MR is the fastest Evolution ever imported to the US. But there's only 3 models that were imported into the US, the VIII, IX and the X. But which one is the fastest EVO ever made? Well, the answer is simple- EVO VI. It has a redline of 7000rpm. It has a 276 hp engine that does 0-60 in 4.4 seconds- faster than EVO IX and X with a top speed of 150mph, 5 mph less than the IX and X. It can go around the corners couple milliseconds faster than the EVO IX, which means it's couple seconds faster than EVO X. There's a reason that Tommi Makkinen chose this car.

4. Honda Integra Type-R

If you think Honda Civic Si is a good choice- think again. This baby can rev up to 9000. It does 0-60 in blasting 6 seconds and has a top speed of 142 miles an hour. That's the same exact specs and even faster than '08 WRX, '09 Ralliart, Mazdaspeed 3 and Honda Civic Si. It's known in Japan as Honda Integra Type-R but the US got Acura Integra Type-R. Different names but same specs. It does .92gs around the skidpad, and used to be one of the top choices for track racing.


5. Toyota Corolla AE-86 "Hachi-Roku"

Power is definitely not what this car is about. It's literally torqueless because it only can do 105 lb-ft of torque. It's 0-60 is unknown. It's top speed it 112 mph. So what's so special about this car? Handling! If you think that Honda S2000 is the only car with 50/50 weight distribution and almost perfect handling, you are dead wrong. The "Hachi Roku" also has 50/50 weight distribution and with the proper performance upgrades, you will get the best handling car ever. Drift champs drive this car for a reason. In fact, it's one of the top picks for drift among silvias, rx-7 and 8 and Nissan Zs.

A perfect car for a woman

Women need specific cars. Unlike the men, women are not as skilled in driving. They don't even see what's in front of them most of the time. So I decided to make this post for those women who have no info whatsoever what on car to buy. I'm not going to talk about power at all. Instead, I'll try to look at every car that I discuss here so every woman that's reading this post is able to process whatever I'm saying.

1. Lexus IS-C

Starting: $40,000

It looks like a regular IS series Lexus. The only difference is the fact that's its a convertible. It's got great quality leather, nice looking rims and it's pretty fast to, and most important thing, its safe. Other women will be jealous of you driving this car, because this car is like a diamond.




2. BMW Z4

Starting: $46,000

It's fast- yes. It's pretty nice looking to. But this car is not for a woman who has a family. This is more of a car for a woman who likes to go shopping. Its got a big boot, big front, and that BMW Z spirit. That's the great thing about BMW Zs, they always have that Z spirit, no matter what model it is.






3. Mercedes C-Class

Starting: $33,000

All it is is just another C-Class mercedes. It's nice looking, fast and very comfortable. This is more of a car for older women, because it doesn't have what Lexus IS or BMW Z have, that 15 year old girly spirit. It's more like a 40 year old business woman car. It's also a great family car too, and it's not as expensive.




4. Mitsubishi Lancer Ralliart

Starting: $29,000

Cheapest, yet most probably quickest in the list. This is not a car for a 15 year old girl, neither its a car for a 40 year old business woman. This car is for wicked women that like to have fun while driving without much hassle of using clutch, and most important part is- age doesn't matter!




5. Jaguar XK

Starting: $80,000
This car is a perfect alternative to BMW Z4. It looks nicer and it has a much better quality interior.
This one is more of a car for 30 year old woman. It still has that 15 year old girl wickedness, but it's becoming as responsible as a 40 year old. It's the most expensive in the list, which means, more showing off.

Thoughts on Straight Line races.

By saying straight line, I don't mean just drag or roll or any other race. I'm talking about any race that includes a run from point A to point B without any corners. Any requirements? Sure, get a fast car and any idiot from a suicide hotline and stick them behind the wheel and ask them to press the gas pedal as soon as the green light comes on. What's the catch? Come to the finish first. Any skill required? Yeah, just know how to use stick-shift. I mean, come on, straight line races are pointless. There are no corners, there's no skill, it's not the driver, it's all about the car. I see people buying Ferraris or old Mustangs and putting big block chevy engines under the bonnet, spending from $10,000 to $100,000 or even more, just to make their car go fast on a straight line. But they simply don't realize that they are making a car that is literally, just like a bullet. It goes, it goes pretty fast, but it only goes straight. What if you try to turn? Sure, go ahead, make sure you have your last wish written down and confirmed by your attorney though, or else the only thing your family will get is your wrecked car. Let's forget drag cars, and let's look at normal, every day cars. Teenagers go out and buy Evos and M3s and STi and other stuff, tune it up and race it on a highway. What do they prove? Their cars are the "fastest". The only thing is though, they only prove that to themselves, while everyone else thinks that those teens are lifeless morons who have nothing better to do than spend thousands of dollars on their lame cars. For what? To prove how cool they are on a straight-line.

What do you really get when you buy an M3?

Me and my friend were talking today about BMW, mainly M3. I was saying that it's slower than an Evo, but yet its more expensive. He was saying that you get whatever you pay for. In this topic that is specifically dedicated to my friend, I will be talking about BMW M3 in general, without making any comparisons.
First, lets look at the design. It looks pretty nice, you can't deny that. Its put together really well, but thats the looks. Is it comfortable? No. Is it fast? Obviously not. So why do people buy this car? There are many answers. It can be either they have to much money that they don't know where to stick it in, or they like the looks and want to show off. Or maybe, their friends told them that its fast. A smart person would go out and buy an M3, drive it around, understand that he made a mistake and sell that car. A wise person won't buy the car at first place. It has a giant 420 hp V8 delivering 300lb-ft. The only problem is, it doesn't have any boost. Why would you make a high rev V8? I'd rather buy a turbocharged V6. It has seats made out of fake leather, sat-nav, A/C and boat load of other stuff you don't need in a car that's made for racing, especially track racing. It all adds up to 3, 704 lb! This car is engineered just as good as VW or even worse, a Yugo! This car is the proof that you cannot combine luxury and speed together, they just don't go along. And by speed I don't mean just 0-60 and top speed. I'm talking about handling, how fast the car enters and exits a corner and all the other stuff that other douche bags just don't get and they just stick to straight lines. If you wanna look nice and at the same time get ripped off by BMW, this car is perfect for you.
