Message	Really, I don't think there is much value when comparing with other products out there. Never really been much of BMW fan at all. I must admit that they have great styling, but they tend to date themselves very quickly by replacing models every 4 years with designs that are a large cut above what they had previously. Out of the Germans makes, I've always preferred MB. Most parts prices are fairly reasonable on MB, especially when compared to BMW and Audi. Only body parts seem to be priced high IMO. It's just a crime that there aren't more sports sedans available with manual transmission. i.e. Lexus IS350 can't be bought in manual. G37 sedan can be bought in manual, but the second you go for a G37x, you're stuck with auto.
