Car Forum / BMW Cars / December 2008SUNDAY TIMES REVIEW: BMW 330d M SPORT
Top Gear's infamous motormouth, Jezza Clarkson, has been driving 330d Sport model. The 245 bhp oil-burner is capable of cracking 62 mph in 6.1 seconds before hitting its 155 mph top speed, but that's not enough for Mr Clarkson...

He normally drives a Ford GT [40?], quicker, faster and less than 10mpg...

The headline gives no real idea of the article - you need to read it all. And remember Clarkson's style - tongue in cheek. He loved the car.

He loved the car. How could anyone tell? 2 stars? I can see the "complaint" about the ample torque being a joke, but the comment about not being able to read the nav screen? > >The headline gives no real idea of the article - you need to read it > >all. And remember Clarkson's style - tongue in cheek. He loved the car. > How could anyone tell? 2 stars? That's a high score for him. ;-) > I can see the "complaint" about the > ample torque being a joke, but the comment about not being able to > read the nav screen? Probably couldn't see it through the cigarette smoke... Signature*Avoid clichés like the plague.

He does that to rile up people that doesn't understand the british humour where sarcasm and irony plays a big part. ;-) Also, you got to remember, the brits won the war. SignatureYou can't be a rational person six days a week...and on one day of the week, go to a building, and think you're drinking the blood of a two thousand year old space god. -- Bill Maher You're quite right... you don't have to be Catholic... very appropriate issue for this season... DAS To send an e-mail directly replace "spam" with "schmetterling" --- [...] > You're quite right... you don't have to be Catholic... very appropriate > issue for this season... Oh, I've had this signature for about 6 months already. Nothing seasonal about it, but since you insist I will change it. SignatureI think flying planes into a building was a faith-based initiative. I think religion is a neurological disorder. -- Bill Maher >>> The headline gives no real idea of the article - you need to read it all. >>> And remember Clarkson's style - tongue in cheek.

It's a German car! 8) If you really think about it, and mind you I am an American, and you compare the Brittish economy to the German economy, you wonder who really won the war. With Germany being almost totally flattened as compared to the UK, they had to completely rebuild. And I remember visiting customers in the UK in their factories which were all pre-war, and then visiting my German customers, there was a huge difference. In the field of quality and technology, there is nothing better then German engineering, IMHO. OK, I better put on the asbestos underwear now :-) > If you really think about it, and mind you I am an American, and you > compare the Brittish economy to the German economy, you wonder who > really won the war. Same goes for Japan. > With Germany being almost totally flattened as > compared to the UK, they had to completely rebuild. Often it is best to start with a fresh slate and learn from the mistakes from before... ;) > In the field of quality and technology, there is nothing better then > German engineering, IMHO. I have a 1985 Mercedes Benz 190E 2.0, with only 77000 km on the odometer. It's an absolutely fantastic car for DIY work. Everything is neat and organized. Not to mention well thought out. And it is an excellent drive as well. I've tried cars from this millennium that isn't that good. > OK, I better put on the asbestos underwear now :-) No need for that, I totally agree. :D I've had a '90 BMW E30 in my garage, and I am currently owning an Audi and the MB mentioned above. The Audi is a great car too, but the dealership here in Norway have made me swear that if I never have another Audi in my garage it will be too early.
