Appox. 2.58374% of BMW owners are enthusiast !

I pulled that number out of thin air!

Seriously as long as driving a BMW makes you feel good, and you find yourself just staring at your car for long periods of time, or if you roll down the windows in 20 degree weather to hear your exhaust your an enthusiast!

Do you take the long way just to drive a little more? Your an enthusiast.

A real % i do not know but most of BMW sales are "luxury" based cars which dose not mean they are not great cars, but in the grand scheme of things, M cars and 1's are probably the smallest slice of the BMW sales pie.

I've met E92 and E46 M3 drivers who did not even know what engine is in their car. Not talking engine codes here, but simply how many cylinders or the displacement. Thats more money than interest in a great car!

In my opinion this is why each new chassis is getting bigger, fatter, and more numb feeling. The average person purchasing a new BMW is not an enthusiast of any sort, regardless of definition.

Now 1M owners on the other hand......always know whats under the hood!
