what categories are these cars put into to be compared. or even come close.
you have a 2 door car tailored to fit a secretary and then you have the ultimate driving machine.
bmw thrives on performance, and they have the best handling cars even over 100k+ cars. thats been tested and proven. im a nissan guy but BMW>NISSAN when it comes to performance.
now if you wanna say reliable and cheap parts whenever something breaks daily workhorse then you'll have nissan>bmw. <-- and even thats too broad, cuz in most peoples mind they are comparing 240'sx to every model bmw makes, and bmw got some bad bitches, sooo...
ps. im pretty sure this wouldn't even be a nissan bimmer debate if drifting was never born, cuz in all honesty most people didn't know about 240's before that
