So is there anyone here who never ever switches to any other brand but the following:
1. BMW
2. M-B
3. Audi/VW
4. Porsche
I find it sometimes difficult to select cars as the above group is rather small. But in the end im always happy with my choice

I've owned many Chevy's and Nissan's. The BMW was an addition not a switch and I have no reservations about changing into anything non-German in the future. After driving my E60 in Europe for so long, driving it here in the states is really disappointing.
Now if I were still living in Germany where its legal to really drive one of these cars........

Well, my E60 is my 36th car - of those it's my second German car(previous one was a 318i I bought in my Sr year of HS). I have to admit, I don't think I'll ever get anything else (except maybe Italian like Ferrari, but since that is not going to happen, German it is) ever again.

My Ride: Week 17 Build, 2008 E60 535d M Sport - Titanium Silver, Black Dakota Leather, Visibility Package, Media Package, Automatic gearbox, Steering Wheel Heating, M Double Spoke 172 19" Mixed Wheels, Auto-Dim+Exterior Mirror, Comfort seats, Front Seat Heating, Aluminium Pentan interior trim,DAB Tuner, TV Function, BMW Individual Audio System 825W !!
This is my second BMW, and to be fair I can't see myself looking anywhere else than BMW in the near future, and if I did I'm pretty certain it would be one of BMW's German competitors.

Krozi, how could you? A Town and Country? EESH, c'mon man you're German you should know better. For me it is the feel of the cars, the excellent German engineering, and to top it off - the distinct aroma of European leather. I have had only cars with leather since I was 17 and nothing compares to the smell of real European leather, not the Acuras, Infinitis, Jeeps, Nissans, nothing else I have ever owned.
