Twins are light like go karts. Just too much fun. Sure BMWs are nice but I think the heavy weight of the German cars hurts them. Even the Porsche’s. Probably why so many people like the old air cooled 911 , they are light. That feeling of a light, toss-able car makes all the difference, regardless of power. (Not saying heavy cars with big power are not fun, just not as much)
For example: my sis works for Merc and has gotten some cool weekend cars. Years ago she got some monster AMG S-class 4 door sedan that was 4500lbs but had 5-600 hp. It was so much fun just nailing that pedal, like an insanely fast tank, but could not turn at all.
But the best car she brought home was a custom e-class convertible with a custom suspension, v-8 and cherry bomb glass pack mufflers. Car was not nearly as fast but it could turn, and if you closed your eyes you thought you were in a convertible muscle car. We did not want to give that one back.
Unfortunately, she never was able to take any of the really high end Mercs. Although we sat in a few that her colleague had, but Merc would not let us drive those.
As a daily still prefer my BRZ.
