BMW offering more standard features in order to compete
The 330 will now have standard...
Automatic climate control
Fog lights
Heated mirrors
Cruise control
and the Harmon/Kardon audio system.
Still isn't enough if you ask me.

It's a start though. It's crazy to pay for fog lights in this day and age. The 3 series is supposed to be a sports coupe/sedan, you shouldn't have to pay extra for fogs, tighter suspension...etc.

It's all marketing....Used to be they could get away with stripping down a car so they could advertise the car with a "starting" price of $30,000. Now they don't get it away with it as much because of the competition, i.e. Acura.

Plus for your 30000 dollars you get a neato tape deck and these really slick vinyl seats. With all of these new features standard it still takes 44000 dollars to have a comparible feature set to a Type S with Navi. I know because I was going to buy one two weeks ago. Luckily I came to my senses and decided that the 13000 dollars could buy me a LOT of mods instead.
What was I thinking

I agree but with the same options it goes over 50k. Plus it seems like the dealers are selling them like they are gold plated, asking 10-20 over. I had no trouble buying my S2000. Took me a week and I had a MSRP deal. Plus the BMW Sales people I met are not the most pleasant folk.
I will not spend over 50k until it is time for an M5. But I will need the stock market and my stock options to come back before that.
