Might be in the minority here, but I just love cars and have zero brand loyalty.. From small peppy 1.6 Turbos, V8's, Diesels. You name it, I probably like it.. Hell I even like Skoda's and Alfa's ..
Only reason I bought an F30 (335D Xdrive) is because of price and performance. When I read the forums, it nearly put me off getting it. In reality it's nothing like it was being described, I had to question in a few instances whether they'd actually driven the car or not. If I'm nitpicking, I'd say the steering is too light and it should have more feedback. But it doesn't detract from it being overall a great car. It's comfortable, fast, precise, has a great interior and the Xdrive system (well in the newer one's) is awesome. Never have I had a car with 465 LB FT of torque that actually gets the power down on the road with so little fuss, but you can still have plenty of fun. It's mental when I want it to be, relaxed when I don't. Only complaint is, there needs to be more place where I can let it go wild.! I'm not 100% convinced my next car will be a Beemer, but that's not because of the car. It's just I like trying new cars, if the Camaro doesn't do it for me I'll probably consider an M car.

We also had some E9x models with EPS in Euro spec'. The lighter steering never got the negative press that we saw with the F3x models. A lot of the E9x users never even knew it was EPS, just loved the lighter steering. |

I think it's something you get used to, but going between the two types you can really tell the difference. |

Never said you didn't and some probably believe it is due to "weight", just saying that's what the issue is with most electronic setups. But as said you do tend to get used to it (rightly or wrongly)..
