Merc/BMW isn’t for old money.

  yeah pretty much everyone I've seen in a 3 series is basically trying to hard; the painfully middle class Persian guy with overpriced sunglasses. Meanwhile the actually rich folks I know are driving F150 Raptors or Teslas.

    I've always said (with tongue planted firmly in cheek) that BMWs are for people that just want to look like they have money. People who actually want a nice car will buy a Lexus. At least Lexus considers long-term reliability to be a luxury feature, whereas BMW just makes sure the car will last for the 3 years the original owner will lease it.

      Depends which BMW engine you go with. I've got the N52 (inline 6) with 200k miles on it. If I'd gone with the twin-turbo, I'd probably have thrown it away twice by now.
