Run into the shop to get a BMW for comparison? LOL I’m not anti-BMW for the record, but the Infiniti’s/Nissan’s I have had were rock solid…no issues whatsoever. We all know that we don’t even need to discuss BMW’s reliability. Would I say that BMW has better materials, and is more refined? In general, yes, absolutely. The people that buy BMW for the badge and degrade other brands are what kill me (i.e. a base 3 series), you couldn’t give me one of the heaps for free. Also, there is little comparison in terms of performance value.
