Some of the responses here by clueless badge whores who are posing as "enthusiasts" are beyond pathetic.

Ignorant, the Mustang will last longer w/fewer issues that are much cheaper to repair. And the gt500's retain their prices.

Trojan4evr · 04-09-2012, 01:40 PM

There is just no cure to ignorance. Some comments are pulled straight out of ass.
Congrats OP. If I don't get into grad school for fall I'm going the same route.

talisman311 · 04-09-2012, 01:52 PM

Sweet car. Don't mind the ignorance here. That car is on par with the performance of a M3, just a little more 'raw'.

Can't beat how a BMW feels tho.

We drive BMWs, that has some of the worst reputations for long term durability. What are you talking about?

Manboy · 04-09-2012, 02:13 PM

Love the Mustang, It looks fantastic! You made a great choice

e1001usa · 04-09-2012, 02:14 PM

No thanks on that Ford Powerful yes but looks like S%_@@t

GmoBmw · 04-09-2012, 03:05 PM

Who cares What anyone says, Bro Enjoy that car, It Looks Sick... When The F10 comes out here in the US we shall tango.

captainaudio · 04-09-2012, 04:06 PM

Great looking Shelby.

RnmEvo9 · 04-09-2012, 04:29 PM

Should've waited for the 2013 Shelby GT500.

techwhiz · 04-09-2012, 04:37 PM

Enjoy your car, but don't expect it to be a love fest. This IS a BMW forum.
Anyway, I wouldn't trade a BMW for a Ford. I've owned both.
I've had multiple M Cars and now a 335i. While the Mustang may have more HP and such, it is still a Ford. I have gotten 200 miles out of ALL the previous BMWs I've owned and I've never replaced an engine or tranny. I can't say that about the Fords I've owned. I also had an Exploder that needed a full FI .

I'll keep the 335i, thank you.

manolooo · 04-09-2012, 05:05 PM

Congrats!! She looks real good

N54B30A · 04-09-2012, 07:41 PM

So instead of waiting for the 2013 650hp shelby you got the 550hp shelby? that makes a lot of sense. btw theyre getting 700hp on 335i with just bolt ons and a turbo on stock internals...nice shelby tho

BimmerCop · 04-09-2012, 07:45 PM

LOL The jealousy on this thread is hysterical! Nice car bro!

Sidney · 04-09-2012, 07:54 PM

Nice car. Look forward to the comparison to the 3.

I will never own a mustang, I don't car it if laps a M3 on a 1/4 mile... I am not a mustang hater, but once again I don't think you can even compare these 2 car companies and they make COMPLETELY DIFFERENT cars with different intentions.

yeah, they are different cars for sure. I probably wouldn't own a mustang either (but won't say never), but I probably (won't say never!) buy an M3 either because I think they are a waste of money.

I also don't think people are buying BMWs for the "speed" or 1/4 mile times... Unlike the mustang, where you see 1000 of them a day (half with 4-bangers) and most of them being bought because they are consider by most, a "fast" car.

um.. 4 bangers?? you were making semi-decent points, but you really lost me here. There hasn't been a 4 banger mustang since like the 80s. The "base" secretary version mustang V6 has over 300hp like the 335i.

Congrats on your car OP. Sat in a GT500 once and the power is insane.

EXACTLY. Unfortunately, 90% of BMW owners and forum users ARE NOT enthusiasts at all. They just like their BMW and can not appreciate ANYTHING that is not a BMW. To call the GT500 shit shows they know nothing about cars.

E92TTKING · 04-09-2012, 08:20 PM

should have waited for new one 650HP!!

Or got a z06

Either way have fun with it!

I was thinking the same thing. Nice car op.

Bimmerologist · 04-09-2012, 08:47 PM

Sick car regardless of the make. However I still prefer to get into an M3 one day! Personal preference really..
