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.
