I've owned an '85 325e, and an '89 325iS, and now my 9000 Aero. (I've driven several C900s, other 9000s, NG900SE, 9-5, etc. The BMWs were fantastic cars. Better handling than their Saab counterparts, but less useful too. Now, my Aero is faster than a lot of BMWs, but it doesn't handle as well as a lot of BMWs either.
Although I didn't like the reaction I got when I told people I drove a BMW (I paid $4000 for it way back in the day, so it usually was true that my car was cheaper than theirs), I never really cared much about what THEY thought of me. I drive the cars I drive because of what I think of the car... not what other people think of MY car. If I let other people's opinion of my car influence my choices, then they've "won" and I've fallen in to the trap of caring too much about what other people think.
I think Noel has it right. Buy what you like, like what you drive.
