Question Should It Be a Camaro 2SS or a BMW 1M? Help.

Although I've frequently visited this forum for quite awhile, I just registered in order to ask for this piece of advice: I'm undecided as to whether, this coming summer, I should go with a 2012 Camaro 2SS/RS (coupe), or the upcoming 2012 BMW 1-Series-M-Coupe? FYI - it would be my 1st Chevy, as well as my 1st BMW - I've only had "boring" hondas and acuras up to now. Any advice would be appreciated. Thanks in advance.

I don't think you will get anyone on this forum to say get the BMW so I would say go drive both and pick the one you like the best. If you go to the BMW forum they will all say BMW and we will all say the CAMARO!

Get the Camaro Z28 in 2012 or go to the BMW forum and get a 2012 BMW M3.

Support the American economy, not the overseas one. The job you save one day may be your own. It's a no brainer....Camaro all the way.

Nothing compares to this new Camaro in my opinion.

If you're real man, get the Camaro. If you wear a sweater tied around your neck, get the BMW. If you're a girl, get a Z3

depends on your personal preference....me personally i would go with the z28 thats coming out....cts-v engine pushing around 550hp! i dont mind not having navigation or 6million way adjustable seats. muscle cars arent about luxury; they're about going fast.....that center dash navigation or A/C seats aint gunna make the car go any faster!!

Z28 pricing will be the same as the BMW. 350hp to 500+? hmmmm

two very different cars. on a camaro enthusiast forum, you are going to find people pushing you towards the camaro. on a bmw forum, you will find the opposite.

here is what's important: drive both of them and determine what you like best and what best suites your needs. I'll tell you the 1 series is an ugly looking car to me and I wouldn't really care to own it. it's much smaller then the camaro. obviously strikes you differently : )
