I admit when I first saw the E60 shape I didn't like it. I used to think it was for mom's who wanted a bigger BMW than the 3-series. Now, I love mine. I still see a lot of women driving the E60, but I think on average I see more men in them.

Also, location is important. I think cities like Miami, LA and others where it's all about show, people will buy or lease vehicles even when they're out of financial reach. I think Car company's prey on this.

completely right, LA people are all about show...
heaven forbid there might be a so cal native that decides to lease for the simple reason that he or she likes the comforts of a new car every 2-3 yrs, does not want to deal with depreciation and/or heckling with the dealership over the trade in value. And correct again in stating that individuals that lease live out of their financial reach....
nor would someone in those cities you mentioned above ever buy a car for similar reasons as you stated RE: power.....or handling, or performance...and least of all, personal preference
