I've had a number of bimmers (E9, E39, E92, F30, G20) and a Porsche. I think the E39 (530i sport) was the most BMW of the bunch. I still have the E92, and its a great (largely analog) car. My wife went from a 2019 to a 2023 G20 and the experience (new Idrive and dash) hasn't been very good ... she wants her 2019 back. My 992 Porsche is an incredible machine, but it does have a door rattle which just shouldn't happen at the price level. I wonder how these rankings are a function of expectation vice reality. A Porsche owner expects perfection. A BMW owner (particularly from the new client base vice the old school owners) may have lesser expectations. Mercedes worked hard to devalue their brand and deserve everything they get (I toured the factory in the mid sixties ... it was almost a bespoke and hand crafted car back then).
