Another thing about quality. BMW paint isnt all that great these day anymore either. Their cars have so much orange peel its almost embarassing.

I've driven quite a few Ferrari cars over the years, they are great cars from a mechanical perspective and to drive but I didn't feel they were given the same attention to the quality of the electronic or fit and finish. Yes they are noisy but it's a mechanical noise that is to be enjoyed instead of endured. I actually switched from a Boxster just because I couldn't stand the drone at motorway speeds, it gave me a sore head constantly, the Cayman is a little better but I couldn't go back to living with one on a daily basis, probably my age has something to do with that.
I think most here would complain about the paint finish on their BMW cars, lots of orange peel and extremely smooth which makes them more prone to stone chips and scratches. I think it's the process they use more so than the quality of their bodyshop.
