A four is a different story, obviously.
A four is a different story, obviously.
A twin is a different story, obviously. I was comparing the V6 to the I6. Really tough to figure that out, huh?
So this means a 1 Series BMW isn't a real BMW because it costs less than a
7 Series?Hint. The Mini is a premium priced product in its class in exactly the same way as every other BMW.
Well, if BMW are this premium priced maker you think they are what on earth are they doing fitting inferior 4 cylinder engines?
Dave, I never thought badly of you, but if you persist in this stupidity, I'll be forced to change my mind.
Mini's are not BMW's.
Idiot. (See, you did it.)
For many applications, the I4 is appropriate.
I never thought badly of you but if you persist in this apostrophe abuse I'll be forced to change my mind.
As indeed is a V-6. There's a hole in your bucket...
Its very common in the colonie's for some to indulge in such abuse's when using apostrophe's....or not using them when requirement's dictate.
Dontcha just love it?
Since I'm posting I might as well say that I tend to agree with this point of view.
I think the jury is out on whether that constitutes apostrophe abuse.
Yes, no machine is perfect. In fact, nothing (except G-d) is perfect. That being said, the following views are mine alone...
On second thought, go out and get that bimmer!

No it's not. In this case Minis and BMWs are simple plurals of nouns.
This simply isn't true. The engineering is fine and quite innovative - the major use of aluminium in some models is ahead of the pack. Their main problem IMHO is basing the smaller models on Ford body shells and failing to make them look special. And with the larger one sticking to the classic look of a '60s design.
Nonsense. BMWs are no worse to drive in the snow and ice than any other RWD car, and due to the balanced weight distribution, are actually better than some. The "legendary" Volvo 240 was a RWD car and was certainly as bad or worse than current BMWs, even though they came from Scandinavia where the winters are notorious.
Yes, they are (were?) an enthusiasts car, no doubt. But they have achieved such a cult status that they are perceived as "luxury" cars by the general public. This doubles edged persona is what has been the downfall of BMW development in my opinion. Because the majority of the car buying public cannot appreciate the superior driving capabilities of a BMW, the design goals have shifted to the more profitable luxury cachet features. The mere inclusion of these features (NAV, PDC, etc.) is a big mistake in my opinion.
Now that I can agree with. But don't do it for the perceived status. Do it for the driving experience. If you can't appreciate that, then don't do it.
I agree. Jaguar is still making some very impressive cars, but somewhat like Porsche's unwillingness to let the 911 die, they seem terrified of doing a serious redesign of the XJ. epbrown

I can attest to that, being Scandinavian and all. My dad used to have one of the Volvo 240, and if you didn't take care how you cornered you would go straight ahead.
I usually had to downshift and blip the pedal to have it swing the rear out to recover when that happened. Which was quite often. The car had a turbocharged intercooled B21 engine and was rather fun during summer, but it was during winter it was the most fun.
2) Jag. Far better that it was, at least in its later pre-Ford days. A byword for unreliability. Ford poured billions into the factory to get it up to scratch.

But what if you stop abusing the apostrophe? The plural of MINI is MINIs. Ditto BMWs.

Oops, I replied in haste before seeing your post...
Still, 'duplication' is reinforcement.
