2nd, only a total rube pays MSRP for a car. You could easily get OP's example for $39 or 40k. Still too much? Who knows. Last, I just came out of a 330i loaner and I still like the car but one thing I agree with is that the base with the 17" wheels, the base body style i.e. no appearance package etc. is a pretty crappy looking BMW. Oh, and OP, most people don't buy those, they lease them. You could lease that car for like $325 a month and nothing down. I know people leasing Camrys for that kind of money. That should answer your question.

Cars I've owned / driven daily with manuals:
1963 VW Bug 1985 VW Vanogan 1994 VW Jetta 1998 Chevy Camaro 2016 Subaru WRX plus several motorcycles. Cars I've owned / driven daily with automatics: 1998 Dodge Dakota 2010 Ram 1500 2016 Dodge Durango (current) In regards to the luxury features...hell, my 2010 Ram 1500 had full leather dash, auto tint / tilt mirrors, heated seats, cooled seats, heated steering wheel, memory functions, adjustable pedals and tilt / telescope column wheel, dual zone climate, nav, satellite radio, wifi hotspot, everything. My Durango has all that as well. The Ram was about $35k, the Durango was $42k. Oh and both have the 400hp HEMI V8, although the newer Durango now has the 8-speed automatic which I love. |

I am just purely addicted to the smell, the feel and the typical feeling that most of my 15 years worth of bmw's has given me. Makes no sense at times, there are more sensible cars for comparable prices....but I'm a sucker for a fucking decent looking bimmer! Lol |

If true, it means my first BMW (335i GT) will likely be my last. Was hoping to move up to an M3 in 5 or 6 years, when I don't need the space, but no way I'm buying an M car with a DCT (or ZF8!), regardless of how fast or fuel efficient it is.

People should be grateful to get a BMW anything loaner. If you want a rather pathetic driving experience, look no further to Kia/Hyundai entry level products...

I agree. Interestingly, the dealer i use appears to have done away with loaners all together. They now have an enterprise desk right inside the dealership. When i brought in my 340 a month ago for squeaking door seals they gave me a ford expedition. Thing is huge, but i had fun with it for few days.

The likes of Ferrari disagree, but I feel you, I miss my manual sometimes too, but after being on the track with the DCT I'm convinced of it's advantages.
