So for 1$ a year, you get 28HP or 12% more. And the 328i won't even touch the Camry V6 5-60mph in 6.1s.

Sorry to burst your bulbble, but a 2012 Toyota Camry V6 3.5 is closer to what I would call an engineering achievement. I am saying this even if I *hate* Toyota.
OK so you cherry picked the fuel cost instead of the fuel mileage because the Camry can run on 87 and the BMW has to run premium. The Camry gets 21/30 25 combined. How is this being OBJECTIVE?
A carry over 3.5 L port injected V6 mated to a carry over 6 speed auto that gets poor gas mileage. This is your idea of engineering achievement?

0-60 in the 328i auto is 5.9 sec, so your assertion that the Camry can't be touched is categorically incorrect. I think you meant that the Camry can't touch the 328 from 60-0 because the brakes are meant for commuting, all the weight in the front will force the nose to dive and you won't be able to steer the car.
