IF BMW was dissolved what would be your next car?

Imagine there was no BMW in this world.
What would be your next choice?

I am partial toward Audi and Infiniti, but I do not understand what the "obvious reasons" for only including Euro and JDM cars are? Maybe someone would want a Mustang GT/Boss/Saleen/Roush, Camaro ZL1, Corvette Z06/ZR1, OR CTS-V

One of those new Dodge Chargers matte black.. Just like in the fast five movie... Sometimes u just can't beat American muscle

I had a rental on this one once..
its the ugliest car I ve ever seen in my life!
whats your motivation (coming out from a bimmer) to buy that? plain power?

I would keep my F10 as an AWD beater and buy a 2015 MB SLC or an SL63 depending on the redesign. If BMW still exists, I may replace my F10 a M6 GranCoupe xDrive if BMW was willing to build me one.

When i went to drive event, i felt Audi to be very close call...and of course benz sucked big time, i hated its interior most...And i seriously dont like lexus don't ask me why...unfortunately i personally dont even consider other brands in place of BMW... any ways if ther is no BMW i would go with Audi or Porsche

Disclaimer: this is just my personal opinion no offense to any body.

The 2012 911, but only if I can have it with a 6 speed manual.

The only manual you can get it with is a 7-speed

Rolls Royce

Is that a real manual with a clutch or the double clutch auto?
I didn't even drive the Panamera when I was shopping because it did not offer a manual

I'd get the Rolls Royce with the Alfred option which renders clutch decisions irrelevant.

Yes, 7MT
copy and paste options from specs on porsche website..

Manual Porsche Doppelkupplung (PDK)

Manual transmission 7-speed -

Tiptronic S n/a n/a

PDK - 7-speed

Porsche Doppelkupplung (PDK)

Manual Porsche Doppelkupplung (PDK)

Top Track Speed 179 mph 178 mph

Acceleration 0 - 60 mph 4.6 sec 4.4 sec (4.2 sec Sport Plus)

C63 amg.

Porsche. My next car will likely be a Porsche even with BMW still in business. I'll stay loyal to BMW if they offer an F30 that handles as good or better than the E90 M3. And better need to apply to feel not only track and testing numbers. I'm not going to trade down on that again. That's a lesson learnt from the F10.

Hmm, I am thinking Audi A6 or Jaguar XF (hopefully XF-R)

Manual transmission is non-negotiable for me. I'd probably look at all other European makes (Audi first, I think), limited to cars with a lot of power (I have a 550i) and manuals. And the Cadillac CTS-V would also be a serious contender.

thought RR listed that as the "Jeeves" package...

If I was forced to choose a NON BMW…

I'd go with a Nissan Sentra...0 down $89.00 a month. Well equipped with four wheels and paint. When I tired of the color, I’ll toss it in the recycling bin and get another….

997TT (heavily modified)..... actually that will be my next car re of the bavarian's destiny

Don't knock the nissan.... my old college roomate proved you can get action in a small reliable economic import

I like them plus they got a nice supped up model that's like 450 hp and about 30k cheaper then my F10...I'm not going to lie I payed for the badge and power
