It's German and it's Rowdy

New guy here. Been buying and driving BMW's sins 1999 (18 to date) and just traded in my 2013 BMW 328i for a 2018 GTI S DSG for daily use. The car is amazing! I work in the Washington DC area and deal with awful traffic every day. The GTI is comfortable and has everything I need to work through that in a meaningful way (boost and all that).

I still have a couple of BMW's I'm keeping: 2010 E92 M3 DCT, 2002 Z3M Coupe (clownshoe) and a 1996 318ti heavily modified STX class. I've been deep into that world having a great time, mostly with the guys who track their cars and/or are deep into DIY stuff.

The MBQ crowd is great. Been very helpful as I start with some basic mods. They are also a lot younger than the other group and hilarious when they find out I'm a BMW guy - explaining to me that VW's come with this thing called "turn signals" and that they only require one parking space

Welcome to VWW.

Looks like your car count exceeds mine over that span so I doff my cap.

As one who ventured into BMW territory (finally, after being a lifelong fan) I get why, but for a daily in traffic the GTI is hard to beat.
