Appreciate the feel of driving a BMW

I own a 2011 BMW 328xi and enjoy very bit of driving of it. This was my first "real car" after my cheap crappy old sentra broke down in 2011.

Before buying this car, I also tried Audi and Mecerdes for test driving but was not impressed by either of them.

In fact, I didn't remember how it felt to drive them...until last week.



My wife and I went to Hawaii and rent a Mecerdes.

Although the interior definitely was decent, the drive was pretty bad.

It was floaty, disconnected and too quiet.

Admittedly, some people, especially passengers including my wife, might like this "smooth" feel, , I found it was unbearable for driver.

when I drive my BMW, it is more dynamic and fun and we are indeed connected like one.



My next car is probably going to be another BMW:) I am not sure what I should get though.

Does the M series lack the luxury feel at all?

Is rear drive really more fun?

I still look for a combination of luxury feel and performance but definitly can use some step-up in performance caterogy.

More experienced BMW owners, Please share your thoughts. Really appreciate it:)
