People on the car forum comparing bmw with the same horse power as a fiat will agree with you.


Is the Mac comparable to the bmw because both are nearly impossible to work on and fix when they break?


I think it's more fair to say comparing a bmw 3 series and a toyota supra. Both are good cars but one is known for its premium finish and quality, and the other for the customization possibilities you can have. :)


This is a funny comparison since BMW actually builds the Supra. Its basically a rebranded Z4.

thanks for the link I didn't know that :D.

I'm not a car enthusiast, but the supra is the first car that came to my mind when I read the parent comment because I saw a lot of youtube videos with supras from the 90s (modified and) producing a lot of power.

Like this one [1], I think the car in the video is a 1999 model and stock it produces at most 325hp (info from wikipedia).

If you meant the older supra then that makes more sense.

The Supra wasn't produced for many years and was recently re-released with this BMW partnership. Many old school Supra fans feel its strayed pretty far from its past and don't regard it well.

The car industry is full of comparisons like this. Luxury is a different scale than performance. You can have either or both. Macs exist higher on the luxury scale than most windows laptops and they offer models across the performance scale. Quite like BMW.
