I'm not usually such a cynic, but whenever I see a thread like this I always think it's someone trying to stir up a massive fight by drawing out the "I'm-14-and-have-a-335i-as-well-as-four-911s,-a-Phantom,-Veyron-and-a-yacht,-but-I-paid-for-them-all-with-my-own-money-because-I-make-10-million-a-year-as-an-investment-banker" crowd.

speed335 · 11-23-2009, 10:08 PM

Sorry, didn't mean to agitate anyone.
I am just comparing the same stats for BMW and Mercedes Benz to the small amount of stats I am finding.
Just wanted an age comparison with BMWs and if there are overlaps with Benz.
I'm doing a paper in a psychology stats course regarding brand value and the population it recruits.
Thank you to everyone that is posting, and sorry again to those that think I'm a smartass trying to make something out of this.

anowlan · 11-24-2009, 09:33 AM

Appreciate any help I can get. I'm doing a report and want to get some stats from everyone.

What age did you start driving your first BMW? 36 What model?335i E92
What was your immediate car before your first BMW? Honda Civic
What other cars were you deciding on when you got the BMW? Audi S4
Would you continue driving a BMW (Why?) Yes. Combination of looks, performance, efficiency, electronics (stereo, nav, telematics, ipod/iphone integration) safety, and knowledge of exactly how much my car is going to cost me each month for the next 4 years- in other words, no surprise expenses.

Alex_bm · 11-24-2009, 11:34 AM

The forum is for BMW fans, owners, etc. Being this your first post, I chose not to disclose any information. Not because of confendentiality, just a matter of respect.
There is 0 contribution to the forum on your part and yet you ask people to provide their information without bothering to explain your reasons.

Pass
