No one questioned your opinion, but when the title is about a BMW, and every post in here has been about a BMW, then you come from left field talking about Lexus/Infiniti, it makes it look like you’re trying to shove your opinions down peoples’ throats like you’re a damn Jehovah’s Witness.
http://www.edmunds.com/bmw/3-series/2011/consumer-reviews.html?sub=sedan 4.5/5 stars rated by consumers
http://www.edmunds.com/car-reviews/consumers-favorites/best-luxury-sedan-2012.html Ranked 3rd in test, ahead of Lexus (6th)
http://www.edmunds.com/sedan/2012/buying-guide.html Plenty of German cars on the list… Nothing from Japan though, except for a Mazda 3 for the under $25k segment.
So much for known facts.
The M3 is their flagship performance car, not luxury car like the OP is looking for.
Also, I’m not getting my “panties in a bunch”, I’m simply just sick of you turning EVERY thread about someone looking for a German car into a Infiniti/Lexus vs. the world thread. It’s like you’re going out of your way to do so.
