I like my 2008 BMW 5 for its comfort and ease of driving. Of course a BMW is known for its stability and ability to hug the road. It is a very solid ride and there is very little road noise. I must frequently make 11 hour drives to visit my mom and it allows me to make the drive in comfort in one day without having to stay overnight somewhere.

Right off the bat, I can't lie - The upfront price of a BMW is not for everyone. I would have never considered owning one myself had I not moved to a large city with insane traffic and the sincere need to accelerate rapidly and stop on a dime. I love to drive and enjoy vehicles that love to be driven, and a BMW does just that. The seats are ridiculously comfortable and on the occasions where I must rent a car from an airport, I always feel sorry for people who own such popular vehicles. Dollar for dollar, I'd buy a used BMW long before I bought a brand new anything. I've contemplated trading my car in and have driven new Mercedes, Honda, Lexus and Toyota but there is really nothing on the market that comes close to a BMW. I'm a fan for life. They're called The Ultimate Driving Machine for a reason, and it doesn't take anyone who actually drives one to know why.
