But go read a million posts on the E90 board about major quality issues like HPFP reliability, water pump failures, failing blower motors, filing serpentine belts, peeling interior parts, interior rattles, squeaking drivers seats, a HVAC system that isn't well understood, and downright fear of owning the car past warranty, and none of these things dissuade the Boyz from ownership. BUT, oh, the ATS has a crappy shift feel, so hell, it CAN'T be considered a sports sedan and is basically the 2012 version of the Cimarron. Please.

The BMW ownerbase is not in a tizzy.
We will never drive a Cadillac product, so these endless threads that pop up every week in our forum are just annoying. You think you're the first person to come in here in the last six months and say "ooh this ATS looks like a great car I may actually buy it"? These threads all start and end the same way: no BMW owner is buying a Cadillac ATS. Go find a Buick forum to troll.
