BMW's are overpriced like no ones business. They nickle and dime you for every last option, but that's also how they've managed to increase profitability on their cars. I find it to be too much money for something that's ultimately not built to last; that is if you follow the almost maintenance free servicing schedule from the factory where you do oil changes every 15k (ridiculous) and virtually no flush of any other lubricants within the car. Of course this is all done in the effort of complying with the EU's environmental policies that seem rather extreme in comparison to a lot of other countries. In my eyes, the longer a car stays out of a landfill the more environmentally friendly it is, but it seems only the Asians get this, for the moment.
I will say that very few other cars handle like a BMW. I got a chance to drive the F30 328 a few times and was blown away by the crazy dialed in response of all the major drive controls. Not to mention the new N20 turbo 4. It's lovely.
