Everyone talks of BMW as premium but what i premium about them? I think they look great on the outside, really fantastic but step inside on and to me they seem very cheep. It's image that has them as a premium brand and it's image that holds Volvo back.
Tend to agree.

Thing with BMW is that they have somehow got to 'premium status'

They are however exceedingly good cars to drive in every area, from handling,to performance,to emissions,to economy,to braking to perceived image.

Problem is they are more common than Fords and (using a word from another member) people that buy them appear to be 'sheeple' (oh and they are a council estate persons favourite!) - no disrespect to people that live on a council estate as we have one as well in the family!!)
