BMW over the MB I have always liked BMW better for the most part.

I know NOTHING about bikes so I cannot even hazard a guess.
 
BMW S1000 RR HP4 vs. Ducati 1199 Panigale S Tricolore
Considering that I spend 99.9999% of my time on the streets, I'd rather have the S1000 RR HP4. Since it's practically riding season year round out here, I can easily ride well over 8,000 miles/year. The Ducati is an awesome bike, but I'd prefer to own a well-rounded bike.

BTW, this is what I ride :)

C63 vs M3: both are my favorite german cars, I pick the C63 looks more practical than the M3.

Bmw vs Ducati: Ducati looks better than the BMW, I'm not a bike rider but I'll pick the Ducati.
 
On the topic of bikes, I own the first model of the 2 and the VIN and Registration both classify these as "motorcycles":

I'm back with another one, the theme is once again german sport coupes from the same manufactures:

Mercedes-Benz 190e Evolution II or BMW M3 Sports Evolution (e30)

I think I did this comparo a while back but no worries, I'm ok with answering again.

I would choose the BMW, because the E30 M3 (not even the Sport Evo version) is the only BMW that beats Mercedes-Benz, in my opinion. That car is more than brilliant and I love it to bits. The Merc isn't bad, but it is slower, doesn't look as good, less popular (some people like this) and it was less successful in its era.
 
190E Evo II for me.

I'm a big fan of older BMWs but unfortunately for the mighty M3, the 190E is the oddball and the more "pumped-up-ness" steals the show for me, irrespective of performance figures.

That is a nice ride. What is the name of the racetrack?

350X. It's better in every way.
 
True, true... BUT, does the Panigale have a semi-active suspension system? With four settings: rain, road, sport, and slick? That is why I prefer the '13 S1000RR over the '12 S1000RR and the '13 1199 Panigale.

It does, in addition to having several modes, you can adjust the shock settings in the cockpit.

;)

Although it doesn't matter a whole lot considering that if you want it set up right, you'll have to replace the suspension anyways.

350X, I'd be bored with the 200 considering it has less power and more weight than what I'm on now. ;P 250R250R250R250R250R250R

190, always thought it looked nicer than the M3.

I would have put the 250R except that the price range and performance doesn't compare :lol:
 
Yep but in the post I put GM not GMC. IIRC the badge on the grill was random from GMC to Chevy depending on the model and model year.

Oops just noticed that, I saw the C from the other part and wasn't thinking when I typed. Thanks for clearing that up 👍

NP at all. I would go with the CUCV as well BUT I love the C303 and Pinz too there are one each running around Albuquerque and its always a treat to see them since 99% of people have NO idea what they are.

BMW S1000RR vs. Ducati 1199 Panigale S Tricolore - What...I don't even.....


know anything about bikes. I'll go with the BMW because it's Blue. :lol:

Honda ATC 200X vs. Honda ATC 350X - I don't know anything about ATVs either. I'll pick the 350 because it has more power.

BMW M3 vs. Mercedes-Benz 190E Evo II - 190E, looks slightly better IMO.

Volvo C-303 vs. GM CUCV M1009 vs. Pinzgauer 710M - No idea....GM because 'Murika.

Ford F-150 4X4 Tremor vs. Ford F-150 SVT Lightning - SVT. It's my favorite truck (besides the old F-100.)
 
So does the GM. Anything can be upgraded to work better than it already does. Everything has a starting point.

What I meant was, why would you pick the GM and upgrade it when the two cab-overs will destroy it off-road, as they are? You would need to modify the GM to a ridiculous degree for it to go where the Volvo or Pinz can go.

Yeah I guess you are right.
