I also think status and where BMW would like to go in competing with Audi and MB has something to do with it. In the states, most people (read not those on this forum) think of the 3 as the economy BMW. Most of those same people do not even know, for example, about the X1, X3 and 1 series etc. The 5 on the otherhand, says "look at me, made it" and it is priced accordingly.
