Incorrect. They actually love BMWs. Classic BMWs. They are hard on modern BMWs because the brand has moved so far away from its Ultimate Driving Machine positioning on most models.
Mark explained this in a video once... they are critical of BMW because of how much they fail to deliver on their brand promise. They don't critique Lexus and other brands the same way because they don't claim to be (and never were, like BMW was) the benchmark for driving experience.
