I like BMW's, but i wouldnt have one like that.

To have a colour scheme like that, it needs to be a very trick specced up car underneath. And it isnt!

A bit like those Subarus that are standard road cars with full WRC livery, all you are saying to the world is "Look at me, i have a very small penis! (And its on my head too)"

So why ask people if it's cool?

Surely if only the people that think BMWs are cool answer this thread, there'd be no need for the question.

YOU FUCKING GIMP.

TOUCHÉ.

For what it's worth, I think it looks like a stickered up BMW with a spoiler. And it's about as cool as that could be.

The 320si is a special homologation version BMW, built in order to qualify the car for the FIA World Touring Car Championship (WTCC). It was released in 2006 and limited to 2,600 units. The 320si uses a modified 4 cylinder engine (N45) different from the standard 320i (N46). Modifications include an increased redline to 7,300 rpm, a shortened stroke by 2 mm, an increased bore by 1 mm and a higher compression ratio of 11,0:1. The engine is mostly hand built and does not have Valvetronic, decreasing the number of moving parts. Acceleration from 0-60 is about 8.1 seconds . so it aint all that really.

I also saw one on a r/r acheiving less than the 177bhp. Alot have starting issues also.

If you bought one of these Alex, you're more gay than...... well, your boyfriend.





Come to think of it, do you ever have arguments as to who is most gay? There's a conversation I'd love to overhear.

Alex: "You're more gay than me"
Alex's fella: "But you drive a mini with red wing mirrors"
Alex: "Don't speak with your mouth full"
