While these are absolutely terrific driving machines, most people are all about speed. One of the problems with BMW is that their motors are built so well from the factory that there is little room to improve without going FI (see 335i). FI on BMWs is extremely expensive and install/tune costs only drive the price up higher with the expensive reputation that BMWs have. There was a thread in the E46 M3 section about a TT C6 Z06 putting down 1200+ hp. People were drooling over it. Yes, its a Z06, but even a stock C6 with a TT kit ($~7000) is putting 450+ to the wheels on stock internals. So what made you choose your BMW with limited tunability over a car such as a corvette which can be easily built? I'm expecting most answers to be about the driving experience and customer service. What else made you choose a Bimmer?

Handling and Safety were big factors for me.
and the insurance on my 5 series was only $80 more per year than my 2006 Hyundai Sonata.

"The Ultimate Driving Machine", what else do you expect.
For me the world is about balance. I believe and experience everyday a good balance and pleasure driving a BMW. Yeah, sure you can tune the others and in many cases a Bimmer too, but why?? To each his/her own by I like the purity of balance and I choose it over anything any day.
And today my friend I choose BMW!

I think the poster above summed it up pretty well. In terms of balance, this car maker is in a league of their own. Even Mercedes(and I've owned 3 to date) is several notches below.

I needed/wanted a sedan.
For pure performance or fun, there are much better alternatives out there.

Because you can't take the family, buy anything bigger than a hammer at Home Depot and go shopping for a weeks worth of food at Costco in a 'Vette
