Lol, are you trying to say ppl are leaving BMW in droves and running to Porsche? Most BMW owners are not cross shopping with Porsches, only wealthy people can afford a real Porsche. The typical BMW owner can probably only afford a cayman or a macan, neither of which is both practical and sporty. BMWs are good all rounders that are reasonably priced. You're not getting your kids and golf clubs in the back seat of a cayman or 911 and you're not having fun canyon carving in a macan or cayenne. You can do all of that in a bmw M car and it will cost you much less.
Right on 🙌

It's perplexing and tedious that folks here, ad nauseam, compares a mid-tier BMW to any model of Porsches.

If anyone, including myself, who has the means to comfortable opt for an equivalent spec Porsche, wouldn't even sneeze at a BMW and that's not taking anything away from BMW as an automotive brand in general, just a sobering fact of life.

It reminds me of the time I could of afforded a mansion on the hills but instead opted for a 12X9 roach motel in Alphabet City - 'cause you know, loyalty or whatever 🙄

Porsche and BMW is not on the same playing field, they are completely different caliber of vehicles, as Porsche is a vehicle you aspire to from a BMW, not one replace it with. So these folks making such outlandish comparisons need to stay in their lane..
You sound jealous.. I mean people can purchase whatever they want. No need to justify how you feel by whatever you want ..just like people spend thousand dollars on a pair of tennis shoes that doesn't mean that they are better than the $500 pair of sneakers.

I don't know why people come in here and want to justify value..people buy Bmw because they want the best bang for their buck. On a second hand you have a lot of people who are out of her league with BMWs who can't really afford them and they try to pretend they can.. so those are the people that normally complain and bitch about how Bmw was unreliable.

Bottom line is you buy an M5 CS as your daily driver and you have a GT3 as your weekend car.

Add yes I'm catering to people who actually own real M cars.
