Very very true. Maybe its all the extras that make the car luxery. Like the leather with heating and cooling, the sunroof, etc...you get me.

and BMW did kinda learn there lesson when the produced the M3 CSL (?). It basically is a gutted M3 that is fast as hell. A lot lighter then the normall M3. Doesn't even have A/C or a stereo.
