And these are the articles that BMW fanboys choose to ignore:
REAL-world ownership. If I want a track car, I'll drive actual race cars.
Loved this excerpt on the converted BMW owner:
Owner spotlight
The Lexus IS has brought about a changing of the guard at the top of the compact executive class, beating European rivals. Owner John Hazlewood is one of the architects of that change, having swapped from a BMW to the IS.
“I was always a loyal
BMW owner, but saw the new IS and thought it was a really great-looking car,” he told us. “I took a look and was very impressed with it in terms of driving experience, build quality and specification.”
John has the F Sport model, which comes with plenty of tech, plus the option of a V6 or hybrid
engine
. He went with the V6 and said: “Few cars in this category have six cylinders and it handles really nicely.”
During the week John lives in London before commuting to Hampshire at weekends. He explained: “It’s comfortable, and the technology is fantastic.”
John also thinks the IS is much more interesting than any BMW on sale now, and his experience so far has convinced him to stay with the brand.
