I was pretty sure that 90 - 95% of the people I see at the dealer fit that profile, but it's somewhat confirmed. Losers!

OK, just kidding, maybe not losers, I'm sure there are "fine people" in that group. I'm definitely not one of them.

Fun driving, feedback giving, I6 ICE cars = BMW. Big, heavy, numb steering, EV's can be had anywhere. When BMW is in that latter group, what's the point? Well, for the 5 - 10% of us that is. Apparently the other 90 - 95% just want the badge. I never really understood that but c'est la vie I guess.
