German cars, American cars, and Japanese cars all have their own strengths and weaknesses.
Comparing one of the worst made GM cars of the last decade to a luxury car is pretty off.
I got to drive the Camaro RS and then two weeks later I drove the CTS coupe.
Even with the CTS being heavier, still drove much better, steering was better, etc etc. But the Camaro drives worlds better then your Trans Am.
The 3 series IS the benchmark car for everyone to compare to. From the base 328i to the M3, its the basis of everyone's entry level luxury cars.
.
all this is true. as much as I love the 3 series, it still has its faults though. ask n54 owners about fuel pumps and such. Like Al said, every car has their weaknesses. To be honest though, I think all the brand origins are slowly becoming similar. American cars are becoming more competitive and the Koreans are kicking butt all day now and Toyotas are killing people.

I don't know what my next purchase would be. I can't say for certain it will be American though. Although the CTS is pretty ill.
