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.

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.
