I've owned many VWs (76 Rabbit, 86 GTI & 96Golf) in my time and love them all.
ALL my brothers as well my sista has and/or still do own BMWs (M3, 325IX - hands down my favourite, 540, 745 and a few others).
One of my bros owned a Merc but sent it back after a few short months and went back to BMWs.
Mercs are for exec with drivers -- I love driving too much so I find them to be boring cars to drive (with the exception of the odd additions, like the SL600) and the body style is also Zzzz.
BMWs are for drivers[!] with big pockets ... drive em as hard as the service invoice hits you.
VWs are for drivers that spent their cake in other areas of life (such as skiing) like me... beat the living shit out of the car and it will love you even more!
I've spent many many years in high-end body shops (Eurasia in Edmonton, Burrard in Vancouver) as well I detailed BMWs for Bavaria and have DRIVEN many many many cars so my opinion and experience is not online or magazine based.
