Common as hell around here. I see modded M3s and 335i's all the time. Usually nobody is stupid enough to hang a giant wing off one or a shitty body kit though.

I'm not sure where you live, but here in East Lansing I have noticed in increase in BMW being driven by Asians. They are normally easy to spot since they have been lowered down an inch or two, and have the black or gunmetal powdered rims. On top of that, they have a $3000 exhaust pipe on the back that makes it sound like it's revving at 8k RPMs D: Below is a good example of what they look like. Is this the new trend, rich Asians come over here and using their parents money to buy a beamer?

A lot of people are bothered by why some people change the look of their cars...

It's one thing to change the styling of their car but another to pretend it's something else entirely. M/AMG/Vtec on non M/AMG/Vtec cars.

Common as hell around here. I see modded M3s and 335i's all the time. Usually nobody is stupid enough to hang a giant wing off one or a shitty body kit though.

I'd stick a wing on my M3 if I wasn't so cheap in modding cars...I personally think it looks great! I've always wanted a GTR M3 :D, it would argueably help at high speeds if I got on some fast tracks.

No "M" no care.

All the well off Asians I know drive beater Hondas and Toyotas.

My relatively old BMW does not have ricer pipes...but that noise you hear is it being revved to 8K rpms.

I can't hear anything over the pro chamber and Borlas :p

It's always fun to idle cruise the parking lots and see who has an alarm :awe:

I do miss the sweet exotic sound of the Bassani setup, but what I have now is just downright violent.

Nope, still just a girly car with black rims and a tinted window.

I saw an e46 328i the other day with an alpina badge on it. Made me giggle.

haters gonna hate.

Most TRACK days have a BMW presence.

That's why it comes in two colours. Wangsta White, and Douche Bag Black. :D

Seriously though, I like BMW. Their auto transmission needs work in the 323i though.

Replica wheels and lights are hardly in ricer territory.

I am hoping you at least own a bimmer if you are lurking those forums though...that's more poser than anything.

Yes I do and I only lurk there just for the DIYs nowadays.

Eh, i think OP is just bitching about certain asian people having better cars.

lol, it's true though. Go to Chinatown in NYC on any given day and you'll see a bunch of them in S4's, 3 and 5 series, Porsche and a few new GT-R's. I haven't seen a GT-R without an Asian driver YET.

What kills me is how can these young kids afford these cars? Most of them look like they just got out of high school. o_O
