Engineering,performance,quality,integrity,innovation,value...

These are things I care about. Not soft cabin plastics which rot if exposed to the sun after the warranty has expired. YMMV.

Left wondering

OK. You've told us what you think of BMW buyers. And now you've ruled out Fords. So what do you like?

@jason

Actually Focus RS is not that useful. When Autocar compared it to Golf R, they preferred to be in the R 9/10 of the time. The ONLY time they preferred the RS was when taking a curve. Problem with RS is the very harsh ride, even in comfort mode, and the cabin is not exactly a nice place to be, at least compared to the competition. So, there is a reason why RS is so cheap. But I guess teenagers or low 20:s won't mind a harsh ride or the cabin quality.

The irony is delicious!

People pay for BMWs almost entirely BECAUSE they care about what people think of them! Hahahhaaaa! Sheep - gotta love 'em. Baaaaaaaaaa!

Would be great to see the

Would be great to see the research behind your conclusion on the buying decisions of the millions of people globally who buy a bmw each year. Maybe you could also enlighten us with your thoughts on Audi and Porsche buyers.

I've never bought or owned a bmw - currently have a ford and renault so no brand snobbery here. But if I had the money I'd buy an M2, for the same reasons IMHO most people are interested in the M2, which has to do with the driving experience and not because of what people think of them.
