If they want that fun car to drive they can buy S/RS, M, or AMG car thats why they make those cars. |
But for some of these A-to-B drivers a "capability factor" is very important. No matter if this capability is ever used or not. It's presence is important. They pay for that. It's a matter of prestige. That's why they buy a premium product/brand, and not Renault, Fiat, Toyota, Ford etc. And for some eg 318i is enough, yet for some only M3 will satisfy the need.
Capability factor = what your car is capable of; what your car's limits are.
And some people just buy BMW despite they never really experience a thrill of RWD, or some buy an Audi Quattro despite never really need an AWD (especially since ESP / DSC makes wonders nowadays), etc.
