Completely accurate. It’s either in your blood or not.
However, if I were buying a German car and looking for “sportiness,” then I’d opt for the used Porsche (Carrera, Cayman, Macan, Cayenne, etc.). I’d look for a used Boxster or Carrera, since I love convertibles.
Google the Bimmer forums and BMW’s X-drive, it’s supposedly a maintenance and usage headache.
