I don’t get the fascination with BMW. I’ve owned a few. Drove a few more. To me, they’re just meh.   Especially in a world where there’s so many cars at that price point.

It’s really hard to steer away from a new or used Porsche though. They are a precision instrument. A scalpel amongst a sea of hatchets.

You've both a lot more sophisticated than I am, but I've gotta' ask - you've driven things with a V8, correct? Or something boosted?

Because "torque" is not where I'd hang my hat in reference to a 6-cyl NA car.

I don’t get the BMW thing either. My wife’s car is a 2017 Lincoln MKZ, twin turbo, 400hp, 400 lbs-ft of torque, AWD.  Fast, comfortable, big trunk for when we travel.  I wish Lincoln was still building cars, as I would buy another.
If I was in the market for an off the shelf fun car, it would be a Mustang GT Mach 1.
