I'd love to get paid to take cars out on "fun" roads and drive them hard. Then I would probably not like the five series either. But like most owners, I use it to get where I'm going and I live in a city with zero fun roads. I have fast motorcycles that I take to the best roads we have within 150 miles every week, so I get that part. But it's not what I bought the BMW for.
What they don't like about the car is exactly what I do like about the car. It is comfortable but has decent control for around town driving. And I do use the horsepower I have to power through traffic. I occasionally think a C43 or 63 Mercedes would be neat cars for similar money. But then I read reviews that they have a pretty stiff ride.
