Very true. Last week ordered a 328i (for my son (As I've said in other posts, I HATE this lines thing, but buying for my kid, it doesn't bother me at all) and with the stuff I think he needs and would like, (Sport line, tech package, heated seats and wheel, upgraded audio and moonroof -- no leather) my dealer will sell it for roughly $40K. I would have liked to get the red interior and the xenon lights, but that would have pushed me outside my budget (40K). Moreover, the xenons force one to get the premium package, which to my mind is the biggest waste of money going.
Though I don't care at all for this "lines" thing, I'm content that I can get a suitable car for a reasonable price. Someone above mentioned the Benz being $41K As I'm paying a bit less than that, the BMW seems all the better.
