Better how? I'm not hating on BMWs in particular but 'better' is a 
nebulous concept as far as I'm concerned. Maybe it's cynicism from the 
days when Cadillacs were better than Buicks that were better than 
Oldsmobiles that were better than Pontiacs that were better than 
Chevrolets even thought it was the same damn platform. Of course if your 
Buick only had three faux portholes the neighbors knew you were either 
cheap or living above your means.
