Yeah...Our family changed from Saabs to BMW at some point (back when BMW was still cool and not something literally everyone owns), and I started getting less carsick.

The Saab was pretty cool but they really didn't need to do everything different only to be different. Some things were just plain weird.

Literally everyone owns a BMW? That's quite a bubble you're living in!

Where I grew up (in the 90s) they were known as “Basic Marin Wheels” so there are places where it’s almost the default.

They do in certain parts. Here in the greater Boston area, the roads are littered with leased BMW and Audi SUVs.

Can confirm there's a lot of cities it's true of. I bought a Hyundai/Genesis simply because I didn't want to be a BMW person.
