They are both very sweet cars. Yea I really like RWD. Have had a lot of fun in my fathers 240bhp 0-60 in ~6 seconds RX8 RWD.

Call me old fashioned but I dont like the idea of tapping a paddle then 5 seconds later it decides to drop a gear..

All new bmw's are horrible, and they are just finished ruining the 3 series. the 635 (the old ones pictured above) is an awesome car I drove one for a while, it's pure madness. I also think it's particularly beautiful.

Have not seen to many girls driving the RX-8 defiantly would never consider this excellent car to be a girls car.

LOL pushing as always. The roar of the M5 would frighten the pour toddler RX-8 alright. Agree though that a father of a male adolescent or adult buying an RX-8 might have a bit of an issue

Automan

You also could buy three RX-8's for the price of a M5, don’t think that there would be to many BMW's in the same price bracket that would beat this car around a track. And just because the chap is probably in his fifties does not mean that he should surrender and buy an old mans car (IE 5 series BMW, Jag).

My fathers is 45, and the car is certainly not a kitten. It's quite a fun car to drive, the acceleration, handling and top speed are all awesome. Be honest and admit you have never been in one. To be honest with you, it gets far more looks than most beamers get, because it's very rare. Admit it, beamers are as common as muck (I still love them though!). I was trying to talk him into an M3, but he thought it looked too ordinary :S

why u asking? Do you have some panties to spare ?

or you just jealous when looking at RX8 rotary engine

528i

'concerned' <- is the reason i asked. I hope you're not a w@nkel sympathiser too ?
those things are a joke, and shouldn't even be allowed into washing machines.

Ratchet

you r so deeply sunk in that BMW leather that outside world seems to be just very distant.

and Bravo! yes, washing machine drum makes rotary movement

528i

thanks for that little psycho analysis, might I remind you of the apparent 'nihil obstat' of piston powered combustivness from your nonsensical honda avatar

Ratchet

i think u r loosing grip and your traction controlled sandals need to visit BMW service.

Would you like me to include jet-engines in my signature ? I like them too.
