Porsche started as a sports car company and brached in to SUVs to save the company from bancruptcy. BMW has never been a sports car company and never will be. I love the latest M3 and M5, they are really good cars, but at the end of the day they are just the top of the line version of BMW's most highly produced sedans, just like they have always been.
