The whole tread confirms my believe that performance for performance BMW cars are probably the most value for money.

Mercedes are high volume producing car manufacturers. Their cars no matter how attractive or expensive are very unlikely to command the same status as Aston Martins, Maclaren, Ferrari, Bentley.

So if buying an expensive car is for status symbol, I would advise not to buy high volume producing car brands like BMWs, Mercedes, Audi, Range Rover.

Again dollar for dollar for performance cars. BMWs represent a value. A good value. M5c and M2c came 2nd and 3rd in performance car of the year only beaten by a much more expensive track focused Porsche GT2 RS.
