 I've owned Porsche, several SUVs,, Chevys, Jeep, Subaru.  Looked at the Beamer cause I loved my BMW K100 motorcycle.  Since it is a little pricey, (not overpriced) looked at company cars with less than 9k miles.  Also drove Mercedes, Lexus, Audi Toyota etc.  Wanted performance AND 4X versatility.  Got both in spades.  Handles better than some sports cars.  Heated leather seats and all the bells and whistles you could hope for.
