A $20-$30K premium for the car reviewed in the comparison is more than enough to kill the value proposition. At that difference in price, one would only buy the BMW if that's just what one wanted to have. That said, the 640i is quite comparable in price to the other two cars, and for me, the 640i is enough.

One thing I like better about the BMW is that it can be aesthetically configured the way one wants it. There are far more offerings as go color combos. That is a trait BMW has across all its models and something that distinguishes it from nearly every car maker except the very high-end ones. Moreover, as I age, I care less and less about whether the BMW has the fastest car or the fastest cornering speeds, etc. I do care that I can get a car that looks like I want it to re: interior and exterior colors combos.
