I've driven several BMW models at different times, and I've never bought one.
BMWs are not bad, but steady rather than exciting in handling - very like most Mercedes Benz models and the A-series Audis really.
The top end cars from all three makers are more interesting, but I have no doubt that if I were spending big money on a car now I go for the Audi R8.
The right Porsche model would be the only other consideration.
