The extra few grand it costs is just chump change, after all, right?

The target audience of humiliation is an average person in an average neighborhood driving an average car and making an average of $49,000 a year.
Those people don't know the difference between a 335i and a 328i so there's no increase in status for having it.
And if we wanted to impress those making $250,000 a year and up, the 3 Series isn't the car for that. I drive mine because it's practical and the bare minimum necessary to keep up with my $700,000 a year crowd; to them, I'm driving a very nice Camry. I've got better places to put my money than into a car, but I can't be seen in a Toyota.
