[Shotimes] (OT) BMW

[Ron Porter]

No, all BMWs are real. The driving characteristics of a 318 are still BMW
and not, well, Ford.

318s with a manual tranny are not bad, automatics are slower. Remember that
not everyone cares for a lot of power. IIRC, mid '90 318i was around 140 HP.
Not all bad for a small car.

Well there are REAL BMW's and FAKE BMW's.  The REAL ones have a number on
the back that ends in 25 or larger.  Anything smaller than that is a FAKE
intended to sell to women and wannabe's that don't know anything about cars.
