That being said, I do like the car, alot, its just what I want out of it isnt reasonable. I look at two things when buying a car... Power potential and aftermarket support. I figured I'd buy a crossfire since its something different and hopefully the aftermarket will catch on since at the time it was a new car. Its been 2-3 years and nothing has changed. I'm simply saying that for what I want out of my cars, the crossfire isnt a realistic solution.
I think that's fair enough. BMW 3 series are nice cars and I've driven a few in my time including an M3, 328, 330. In all honesty; I prefer the rarity and feeling I get in my Xfire... it's just different. In the USA, it might well be another case - but here in the UK, one in every three cars might be a BMW; there's just nothing special about them at all. Even M3's and M5's - they are a dime a dozen. Of course, this doesn't make them any less of a car. The M5 is epic in each of it's incarnations - almost supercar performance in a big hulky saloon. In which case, comparing it to an Xfire is a tad silly; they are nothing alike. For me, a car is more than it's 0-60; more than it's top speed... I like cars with a story behind them; cars that are a result of some twist of fate. The Xfire is one example of that... whereas a BMW 3 series is about as 'normal' as you can get. Once again, not taking anything away from them; BMW's are generally great cars.
As for cheapness for interior. The Xfire loses out with it's silver centre console but for me, that's where the cheapness starts and ends. Everything else is straight out of a Merc' so not sure I follow you on that point.
