I've had a boss and two BILs that have owned BMWs. I've ridden in all of them multiple times and drove one BILs BMW once. I'll agree that they were nice but I was not impressed enough to want one.
I once had a Volvo with which I was not overly impressed with as time went on. I fell for the "safety" aspect early in my child rearing days. The place I took it to for oil changes/routine maintenace also serviced BMWs. You could always tell which car someone had based on their service fee. Volvos were $79 and BMWs were $139. I got my Chevy done at another place for $39.
