    I've owned two BMWs and one VW. Ridden in dozens of different models from VW, Audi, and BMW. BMW is considered a lesser brand than VW in Germany, so there's that lol. My experience has been that current Audi is equal to BMW, VW is like an entry-level Audi and Mercedes is awesome.

    Around 2011, my dad bought a 1987 BMW 328e. Thing was badass and looked better than the Mercedes Benz cars of the same era

    Agreed. I had a 1989 318i M-Sport and a 1989 535i. I loved those cars.

    Manual. The only two automatics I've owned were a 1986 Camaro IROC Z-28 and a 1989 300ZX. I've had 14 vehicles, and only two were automatics.

    Damn those sound nice. That BMW is the second car from Europe that we've owned. Back in the early 2000's, my dad had a 1995 BMW 3 Series that he got used on the cheap

    I like those 90s BMWs. I was in one that wrecked at 80 mph. We all were fine.

    Nowadays, Mercedes Benz sedans are more appealing to me than BMW sedans. The 5 Series BMW cars look nice, but not as nice as it's comparable Mercedes Benz sedan class... The E Class.

    Definitely. I hate BMW's current styling and love Mercedes' looks.

    I'd still rather buy a Lexus over any brand from Europe if I were shopping for the luxury.

    BMW doesn't seem to redesign their cars as much as Mercedes. All BMW's across their respective generations look similar, only thing that slightly changes is the shape

    That's too extravagant for me. Tops I'll go is a Lexus ES or it's comparable MB or Beamer

    They are pretty ugly, don't like them much.
