My Ride: 2006 530xi. Deep green with beige interior. 6 speed manual. Premium package.
I am a die hard GM guy and the 530xi is the first import I bought (or in this case ordered and waiting for). But there was not really a GM car I considered because:
1. Wanted AWD
2. Wanted manual transmission.
Am I such a small market share that it is not even worth designing with these options?

To me, I would consider other American manufacturers before going GM so no, I didn't (and wouldn't) consider any GM cars.
I think once you get your new baby, you'll see why being a "die hard GM guy" isn't as great as you think...

being a die hard gm guy was not great. poor service, low resale value, poor reliability (except my last car), and a "rental" car feeling

I have a feeling that once you take delivery of your new car, you will be a 'die-hard BMW' guy.
I bought my first BMW 5 years ago and did not consider any other brands when I ordered my E60.
