Take the criticism of the F3x models, yes there has been the option in the UK of the Jaguar XE and Alfa Giulia, with slightly better driving dynamics, but do BMW drivers move across for the dynamics? No, not many at all. The BMW offers the total package, even enthusiasts want more than the focus on driving dynamics for daily use.

Doesn't mean we don't care, judgements are made on much more than one aspect of a vehicle by most drivers, these days.
You should drive whatever makes you happiest in net.

But, the Lexus IS, Caddy ATS, and Alfa Giulia all drive better.

Given the turn in their sales, some people are moving over I'd say.
