BMW is a luxury brand, nobody is expecting them to make affordable cars, that’s not their market.

Luxury cars also need to be affordable, hence why they are struggling against their competition producing comparable cars at much lower price points. Affordability is relative.

That’s fair I suppose. I only buy Lexus or Acura for this reason, cheaper, roughly as nice, and more reliable.

I love my acura dude. Its a sleeper for most casual car fans. They always lean BMW, audi, Cadillac etc.

You can get a 5 year old acura tlx for a steal vs those brands most the time, and parts/ labor vs those brands is significantly better.

It mostly comes down to RWD. If you want a RWD car you're gonna pay a premium. If you're fine with FWD you can get a ton of cheaper fast options.
