Why the obsession with Bmw? Discuss and compare

[Hippycake]

I for one can never understand it.. why do so many people go for these souless cars.. i mean fair enough m3-m5-m6 they are all performance cars but they have nothing that makes me excited to just get in one.

Lets have some intelligent discussion for once kay?

I am firmly against bmw before anybody asks as im firmly in tvr, muscle car and lancia delta style car groups.

So yeah, DISCUSS

Well, as far as I am concerned, I think they just a decent quality car. They actually dont do anything else that any other car does, but I like the steering and they do "feel" a better quality. (Whether thats true or not is debatable).

[Hippycake]

I have driven a 2003 330i and i admit it did feel quality.. but it was so boring, sure it was nippy but that could be because im used to a 1.3i ford kak xD

So why the shuddering fk do you drive such an awful car as a 1.3 Ka?

[The real Apache]

I had a Griff 500, then an M5 now a B3, I really like the B3 and think it has plenty of soul, it's comfortable, loadsa toys, pretty rare, sounds good. You can drive it in lazy mode but it has enough grunt when you need it. I do find the later BMWs a little characterless but then I do with most new cars. Nothing compares to a raw Griffith though

Which iterations of M3-M5-M6 did you drive in order to decide that they're not actually soulless?

I have been driven in an e46 m3.. what made it have more soul was the fact that it was rather quick and quite a bit rarer than your standard 320d that you see thousands of.

[K87]

So what did the drive of the 330 involve? A road thrashing? Track session? Motorway drive? Or just rearranging dads cars on the drive?

You clearly have no idea what you are talking about to the point that nobody can even be arsed to argue with you.

I am merely wondering why so many people would choose one over anything else? I appreciate i know virtually nothing about cars hence im just trying to figure out the attraction

BMW have a peerless engineering quality found in no other manufacturer IMO.

They have constantly innovated for the last 40 years.

The fact that even a Roberto-Basic 116iES drives light years ahead of its rivals is proof.

They're economical, comfortable, built well, reliable, good cruisers, can handle high mileage. You'll find the majority of them are rep mobiles and company cars.

Whats so great that you'd have instead then?

[Urban Sports]

I think this should be moved to the BMW sub forum, you may get some better responses then
