Good, reliable cars for sure, but they lack the “soul” of a BMW.
If that’s important to OP I’d go with MB or Audi.

I'm the PP. You are correct.

The real problem with BMWs is typically the nut behind the wheel.

"nothing else compares" until you drive a Porsche and realize every model they make is better than the equivalent-sized BMW

If you were a fan of BMW and switched to another brand, and love it, what is your new favorite? I don't care much about SUVs, but I can consider cross-over. Prefer either sedan or two-door, with powerful engine (but nothing too crazy, I am a middle age woman). I tried Tesla and I dont' like it. I prefer to keep it under $50k. Any suggetions?

Try Porsche Panamera in a certified pre owned sale. A little big hatchback sedan but worth it.

Go for an audi s4 or s5. I had an S5 a few years ago and loved it. Now have an rs3 really loving it but it was 70k

I've only had it for 2.5 years, no problems whatsoever. But I think that's pretty normal for new cars? I plan to trade it in when the 4 year warranty is up, which I've done with all my cars, so I can't speak to longer term reliability. Really nice sounding engine though! It's a kick.

That’s what we did. We had a 335xi but once it was ten years old found out that you couldn’t get the all-wheel drive in a manual. And the Ms don’t come with all-wheel drive. We have LOVED our S4.

Thank you , this is a great input as I am inclining to Lexus.

It looks interesting, but a little bit too fleshy. I always liked the simplicity of BMW.

The styling is more low key than other cars. Even some lower priced brands.
