Anyhow...BMW I think should stick to motorcycles. I love their motorcycles...amazing...reliable...shaft driven..boxer. BMW Automobiles on the other hand really don't appeal to me. It's like comparing a TAG Heuer to a Rolex...you pay a decent amount more for the Rolex, but you get a heavy durable watch without a quartz movement. BMW's first car was a copy of the Austin Dixie.
BMW's just don't seem as solid and "beatable" as Mercedes. And they definately don't have the history of reliability. 4N, I'll race you in my 240D 4 speed...let me come to your house a bit earlier and "inspect" some stuff under the hood while you wait patiently inside your home

If by "inspect" you mean "remove engine/replace with hamster in wheel" I'm sure you'd win...
As far as the watch thing... I'm actually partial to tag heuers and Omegas... I think Rolex's are too showy, and not worth the extra money. That may explain our difference in tastes.
