the term "fully loaded" just annoys me sooooo much!

The term "fully loaded" seems to be excessively abused and overused. IMO this term should only be utilized if the car is in fact FULLY LOADED as in ALL OPTIONS CHECKED! I've seen a fellow member selling a 325i lacking many options and claimed as "fully loaded". It really annoys me because that's simply misleading and untruthful. That's like buying a fake Rolex and claiming it as real.

well if BMW inst going to add the the options themselves, then Im going to. Buying a car without anything that already should come standard with the options that are available for it? Now thats dumb. wanting real leather, sports pkg, premium, comfort, navi, and oher things that just go with a BMW is fine, and its lame that they dont come standard with those things.

Maybe some can do with out certain things in a car and others cant, I for one think that having real leather seats in a BMW is important, having navigation comes in extremely handy, having premium pkg adds other important features, sport pkg adds better seats and suspension, Paddle shifters makes the drive more fun and offers a good alternative to manual or borring plain auto trannies, comfort access makes getting in and out of the car as well as starting it up much easier and adds to the high tech factor, heated seats keep me warm when its cold, adaptive cruise comes in handy durring traffic, HOWEVER the sunshade is not needed when you tint your windows, and Active Steering takes away from the sporty drive SO I DID NOT GET THOSE TWO OPTIONS. So im a douchbag and dumb for wanting those things? Have fun driving an engine with wheels.

i agree with you.

however

what part of "fully loaded" do you not understand?

your car isnt fully loaded. i am not calling you a douche. frankly, you car and your mods look pretty sweet.

you said yourself: "Maybe some can do with out certain things in a car and others cant" and that you did not get some stuff. thus, i am not calling you a douche

but then again, i am from mississippi. so your car must suck, you must be a douche, and your car might be fully loaded as i may be the one who is misunderstanding the term

lol

instead of $2500 navigation, i got a $3 map.
instead of $2400 leather seats, i got free leatherette.
instead of a sunroof, i stick my head out my window.
instead of $1200 sports seats that hold me in place during a race, i got regular seats that will make me slide all over the place.
instead of 18" rims, i got 17" style 157's.
instead of bluetooth and voice commands, i actually have to move my lazy hands to turn up the airconditioner and call a friend on my cell phone. oh no!

even without these extra "luxuries", i'm damn happy with the car i'm getting.

haha. Way to try and make your choice seem right. First off in some cases its the fact that people cant afford to upgrade not that they dont want to. Some people either payed for their car or even if given dont get absolutely everything given to them. Not to mention the fact that certain things are pointless. Like heated seats when the car has a freaking heating system. Also you live in Laguna Beach. Are you serious?

You don't even begin to see cold like the area I live in. Guess what I dont have heated seats.

Secondly, have fun driving a engine with wheels? I do believe that is what the ultimate driving machine is all about. Again, a failed attempt to belittle those who said you were dumb.
