BMWs, Audis, Teslas, Mercedes, Porsches and I'm sure I missed a few others: these are all sacred cow status symbols. You're going to get downvoted by their respective followers saying anything bad about them. I personally really dislike BMWs for delivering horrible !/$ and for iDrive. That said, for any of the above, if you're willing to spend $80K or more, you can get a pretty amazing car. I'm not: If I had one, I'd stay up all night worrying about my precious 4-wheeled baby. So I end up scooping up 3 year-old high-end lease returns worth half their MSRP or less with low mileage with no real brand loyalty. IMO here's a great article on taking this to the extreme: http://www.apidaonline.com/index.php/home/item/5-things-no-one-tells-you-about-owning-a-used-luxury-car http://www.apidaonline.com/index.php/home/item/5-things-no-o... Probably going to get downvoted for admitting I share your dislike of BMWs though (oddly, I don't mind Audis, for each their own).
