What makes BMW cars the Ultimate Driving Machine?

Question to car experts in this forum - in practical ways, how does a typical driver (under Singapore road & enforcement conditions) tell that the BMW car is really superior to be called the Ultimate Driving Machine?

Under Singapore road conditions, i, as a typical driver, have not had opportunities to drift my car or drive fast around snaking roads.
As such, for typical drivers like me, are there practical ways to tell that my BMW car is really an ultimate driving machine?
Or are there superior features in BMW cars which the laymen or typical drivers will never get to try out? In this case, it means we can be better off buying other brands as they will drive just as well and since we won't have the chance to try out the fancy features under Singapore conditions.

I'm a 4 month BMW owner and so far, I sensed my F10 has a smoother engine than my previous 8-year old merc and that is all the superiority there is that I can tell. Then again, to be fair, my previous ride is an 8-year old technology car after all so can't really be compared to this new ride.

Re: What makes BMW cars the Ultimate Driving Machine?

Seems like you really dunno what bmw is about ..... its about FC

And of course many other attributes (NOT FEATURES) that makes it a UDM.
If you have not found out by now, i think you try harder or else change marque.

They stopped using the Ultimate Driving Machine slogan for years already...

Now is "Sheer Driving Pleasure"

How "ultimate" your UDM really is will depend on the size of balls of the driver.
 
Re: What makes BMW cars the Ultimate Driving Machine?

When the slogan was still UDM

BMW Still The Ultimate Driving Machine, Not That It Ever Wasn't - Forbes

BMW of North America has revived – make that reinforced – its famous tagline, “The Ultimate Driving Machine.”

A recent TV ad says, “We don’t make sports cars. We don’t make SUVs. We don’t make hybrids. We don’t make luxury sedans. We only make one thing. The Ultimate Driving Machine.”

That’s stating the obvious. The Ultimate Driving Machine has been BMW’s unforgettable identity since the 1970s.

Yet the tagline is a touchy subject inside BMW. BMW came up with what eventually became a worldwide ad campaign called “Joy,” in time for its sponsorship of the 2010 Winter Olympic Games in Vancouver, Canada. The idea was to reinforce the user benefit of owning The Ultimate Driving Machine.

BMW never entirely abandoned “Ultimate Driving Machine,” but the “Joy” campaign started a public uproar that BMW was turning its back on one of the best taglines ever.

Do you think a Tua LP can control the car well?
If he drive agreesively , wrecking balls is going to happend.

Fear affect everything, if you fear, you are going to lose.

UDM is use to hao lian to others when gathering.
So far owning my e60 for 18 months, i only drive 240kmh twice.
Compare to other car in stock, ability of cornering in BMW is much more better than other car.
Ultimate jiak you can consider ultimate?
