BMW's marketing department have identified that there is a segment of the market who are prepared to do so.
Direct descendants of the 3rd Reich no doubt.

Bit like wearing a fake designer watch I suppose.

Probably a good thing.

My lady wife decided to take mine for a spin, literally.

A lot of women I know drive sporting versions of plain cars.
None of them drive fast though.

Some cars could be stepping stones for them, finances etc

That's down to tactility mate. Most people are used to having their nerves starved of information my comfy modern cars. Put them in a car that your hands directly control the direction of the front tyres with, and that those tyres tell you how much grip they have and it'll terrify them!

Bada when I had the Liz my bird at the time used to comment on
the fact I held the wheel with both hands all the time and that it
didn't look cool when we were out 'posing'!
Anyway much later I made her drive it, straight away she said
"oh I see why you need two hands on all the time".

The current 'Ar lass' drove the S2000 down the local 'mad mile'
and like many thought 6000rpm was it and refused to go higher.
"No keep it in that gear and press harder" I protested.
