I'd buy a slightly used M3 or M5 for that price!

Yeah that's ridiculous but most cars seem to be overpriced. I do like the 228 and 235 and can be had for reasonable price if keep options in check.

The thing I hate about Germans is it's like an a la carte restaurant. You can get everything you want, but they'll nickel and dime you for every item.

it is. i priced out a A4 once and started out fine, ended up with a wtf price.

i hate choosing ala carte. i think they should do it like acura (or at least how they use to do it). 3 different packages. no other option.

base, mid-grade, fully loaded. i want to go to a dealer and order "i'll have a #1".. with a diet pepsi.

I dont trust BMW and Audi. All I ever here about is problems, (mostly electronics) even while under warranty. Less electronics = less problems. A guy around me took his A8 to a car wash, and the electronic parking brake malfunctioned from the undercarriage spray...now his brake is locked on.

They're great looking cars for sure, but their interiors never really leave me as excited as the exterior.

My brother in-law is big into BMW and Audi. Last year he got a 2012 A4 with the S-line package. Pretty sharp looking car but I believe he's having oil consumption issues. Only 30k on the stock 2.0T

I have absolutely no complaints with the electric steering in my 911. It's all I could ask for and more. Maybe I'm not good enough of a driver to notice that the 997 had better steering feel (I can feel the difference, just can't decide if it's better or worse - IMO).
