I just bought another BMW, my fourth now. As can be guessed, it was an F15 (replacing my F25). I had previously said I wasn't happy with the direction the brand was headed (not the reasons above), but in looking out there, short of a Cayenne, which is considerably more, and less tech I didn't see any options I liked.
In my opinion, for the money, there aren't many competitors to BMW that offer a sporty driving experience (provided you spec your car properly) with a good package of options, and a well made car. I am by no means the biggest fan anymore, but I am very happy with my new to me F15.
