Actually, BMW holds its value pretty good. In fact, the Nissan will probably depreciate more than BMW, percentage wise.
But I agree with you. I don't think anyone here seriously thought you were equating love to either Cartier or Tiffany. At least I didn't.
edit - I guess not. Some people actually took it literally.
Btw, what's the big deal about driving a regular 3 series, like the 325, 330? These are the people who just want to be seen in a BMW, which I've always called a Bummer. When you buy a 540 or M5, you are talking about a serious automobile. A regular 325 invoice at around $27k w/o minimal options. That's less than a loaded Honda Odyssey.

Q: What's the difference bet. a porcupine and a BMW driver?
A: Nothing. They are all pricks.
