I dont think anybody wants to get their appendix removed. Its usually not an elective procedure like titty implants or a penile extension. ---

You are so obtuse Vladimir. And you have fun with that tangent. In the meantime in the auto world it’s pretty clear when a vehicle is nicer than another. PJB and Bakerian can tell you that pretty quickly as they have expressed their opinions in this thread. ---

There is no real answer to any of this topic where the treads headed. I will tell you this though… It takes alot more car to make me happy behind the wheel. I have driven some cars people consider “way nicer than my daily” and are supposed to be sporty… but fall very short IMO. With that being said, if I wanted a fun car to drive that I impressed myself behind the wheel more than disappointing myself behind the wheel… you are going to be paying alot. Like someone said, its in the eye of the beholder. But on the flip side, I have had way more fun driving or riding in some totally odd ball cars people would consider crappy. I still say the perfect car is a 20+mpg 12 sec 1/4 that can take a turn on a back road and not make you deaf or hurt your back at the end of a trip. And that is going to cost a good chunk of coin. ---

As far as DDs go, I’d go with a 5-series over an M3. Just more overall comfort for everyone in the vehicle, whether front or back seat. The E90 3-series has small back seats IMO. ---

One of my buddies just went to auction and picked up an E60 528xi for stupidly cheap. I’m not gonna post the price as I know he intends on selling it shortly, but the thing is literally loaded with every available option except for HUD and adaptive cruise control. With all these options, they turned it into a $70k BASE model 5 series. Clearly someone who cared only about comfort rather than performance, but the car is pretty damn minty. ---

Simply put, no. I’d take an excellent handling, although slightly underpowerd 528 or 535 over just about any Caddy. And I’d most certainly take an M5 over a CTS-V. ---
