Vs Poll: BMW 1er vs. Audi A3 vs. MB A-Class

[mini_cooper4]

Reading this thread its driving me mad
So i have joined up and will post my views , not wanting to cover old ground but i am sick to my back teeth of avid anti BMW petrol heads posting how ugly the F20 is. I may be biased to this car as i own one , a 116Sport in Alpine white.
But sitting on the drive now it looks stunning,, i agree it may not be the most photogenic of the bunch but it really does look better in the flesh.
The A3 looks identical to the old one , so much so that 99% of civilians (non petrol heads) would not be aware that is a completely new car. It is also the most boring and sensible, and therefore will be the Estate Agents perfect subtle companion. As jezza says the A3 is like water , its great and does the job well but no excitement.

The Mercedes gets slated by WhatCar , with a 2 star out of 5, and quotes ::The Mercedes A-Class looks great inside and out, but rivals are classier, better to drive and more refined, so it’s hard to recommend.

So clearly its not all about looks , and i would of thought GCF would appreciate this. When im driving my BMW i dont have to look at it.
I feel the complete 50/50 weight distrubtion combined with the Longitudinal engine mount for perfect balance. I also get perfect feedback through the steering as the front wheels only have to handle the steering and not torque. And of top of that it has the most advance in class, aluminum multilink suspension. BMW is about engineering not shallow depths of just looks. Any professional driver on here will tell you that

Welcome! Nice post!
I'm not a big fan of your car's looks, you should know that.
I'm an ex 1M owner and had some other performance cars too...
also a professional driver and here you have my opinion: Yes, looks are not everything, but most of us already know that.
From all new BMWs there's only one car that's able to give you that SHEER driving pleasure and you own one already.
Congrats and enjoy that true BMW

Which professional championship(s)?

By telling you that you and other people will know too much about who I really am and what I really do, I better post a picture of one of my licenses

OMG!!! Are you the Stig?!?

 

[Gianclaudio]

Nah, don't be shy. Reveal yourself:

Edit: LOL, Martin beat me

 

[mini_cooper4]

OMG!!! Are you the Stig?!?

Good one! Nah, not so special. I'm just not willing to give my surname like that, now that most know my first name and my age

 

[Gianclaudio]

OMG, you're Adrian Sutil

 

[mini_cooper4]

OMG, you're Adrian Sutil

Nah, not that bad

 

[Sunny]

Well, no one asked your surname, just which professional championship you claimed to race in... but if you feel that compromises your identity real or otherwise, sure...

Yes, let's say there are not many other called the same way as me driving in the same championship. So it's like giving my ID to someone and it's really easy to find what's written about me on the net. Another reason I don't post pictures of me and my activities. I'll just say I started in karting years ago and went further. If prove is needed I can post a pic of an expired license as I cannot do that with active ones

 

[klier]

It's fine mini, you don't have to show anything to anyone if you don't want to..

The only thing I want to see is pictures of all the cars Deckhook has owned so far.....must be many gigs worth of pics I'm sure

No one asked for any proof, was just curious what series you race in...

If I have some spare time I'll open a driver's thread and post some pics of some of the cups and so driver's will have a separate thread to discuss driving yet still having the option to stay incognito, as I can see the interest for it is on hand

Ok, sorry that was a bit misleading:

"but if you feel that compromises your identity real or otherwise"

EDIT: I can tell you what type of series but I thought you asked exactly which:
karting, touring cars, drifting

Yap, you have the right to be so and I appreciate that and understand it. I'll open a thread later so we can discuss stuff like this in the appropriate place.
Let's get back on topic now
