How about power (which is different than speed), handling, acceleration, trouble-free, fit n' finish, brakes, sound system, head up display, comfort seats, engine, ride ...
And add an "All of the above" response.

I "cheated and voted even though I have a 545i. I voted for looks. I am surprised that there are not more votes for looks. I think your criteria are good ones in the sense that any car I purchased would have to be at least satisfactory on each dimension. And, buying generally involves making tradeoffs among them. To me looks, fastness, comfort, feel, and price would have been the more important criteria. I found two cars that satisfied all of my criteria satisfactorily. But, I ended up buying the best looking car and sacrificing some speed. I rejected the AMG C55. The 550i would have been a much easier choice since it has 30 more HP than my car. I like the forced-choice aspect of your survey since it precludes one making the easy "all of the above" response. It really makes one think about what was most important--which often is a very difficult question to answer.
