Subject: I feel like BMWs have always been priced like that. Mine will be used or leased

Brian, I feel like BMWs as far back as my friend's Dad's 83 633 were priced like that - very high relative to cheaper, pretty competitive options. In return for the (much) higher price, you got that special BMW feel, and sometimes, a very high level of durability (not to be confused with maintenance-free-ness).

So yeah, even if I had it to spend right now I can't justify $42,000 for a new no options leatherette interior 335i sedan. Just like if it was 1991 I couldn't justify $42,000 (or so, can't recall the exact sticker) for a 535i. I'm more likely to either lease a new one, or by a used one, for a much lower cash outlay.

2001 740iL Sport Nachtblau / Blue & Ecru Highline
1999 Camaro Z28 Light Pewter Metallic / Neutral
2006 Cadillac SRX Black / Black
