of course BMW wants to impress everyone of us! how else they will sell cars and make money

About the cars, I had been interested in either 335, 435GC, or X4. When these cars were released none impressed me. Their price range is about 45K to start. You add a couple of options and that goes to 50K. At 50K I can get Macan, and after "checking" a couple of boxes for Macan options, I am at 54-55K. So, does 10% more $$$ for a better car makes sense? To me it does.
Btw, if I cant afford the Porsche, I'd rather go for a used e9x than F3x car despite their better fuel efficiency and larger size.
