BMW's are plain jane cars until you spend and extra $20k to make it a real car. It's the same today. Acura > BMW. Acura provides a little bit of everything, and does everything well without excelling in one area. So you get power, comfort, handling, looks, technology all in one car.
and :ghey: if you ask me.

Power for one. Plus the same features have a ridiculous premium over the cost of the Acura.
Plus the CL has better braking, slalom, skipad performance, and fuel economy than the 328.

Article is a fun read for a CL owner. I like the nostalgia feeling, this article came out the summer before my sophomore year (2000) in high school. Wouldn't have thought i'd have a CL at 21 back then, funny.

I don't see the point in owning a BMW besides saying "I have a BMW"
This is just my opinion. I also don't want to buy a car and then add 6 packages to get it where I want it.

I chose my CL-S over a 330i, but will still gladly admit that the BMW is a better driver's car.

IMO the big points the Acura has over the BMW are reliability and value. I knew this going into my purchase 2 years ago and am still happy with my decision. I do not claim it is something more than it is, and as a result it meets all my expectations.
