To be perfectly honest, I don't even know why BMW got so popular with the EXX generation of cars. For us on the forums, we know what to look for or know why we prefer BMW's over Audi's and Mercedes but to the average person, BMW probably looks the least favourable.
I remember in the late 90s and early 2000s Mercedes was more than BMW in the US, you could get a fully loaded BMW for thousands less than a Mercedes (all classes) and in the mid to late 2000s that reversed. But to be fair the inside of the C Class and GLK is Sh*t, the only thing that makes my C63 okay is the upgraded extended Nappa leather, AMG steering wheel and shifter... I had loaner C250s and they are horrible.

Audi on the other hand does seem to be keeping up with quality and still the cheaper price.
