After downloading all of the pricing information about Ford’s Mustang GT in last week’s BVL, we thought we’d take on a popular German target with BMW’s 3-Series this week. Of course, when looked at from the 328i up through the M3 variants, there are an awful lot of legitimately different cars that wear the 3 for BMW, so, for this session, we narrowed the field down to simply the 335i sedan. As you’ll see, that limitation doesn’t mean that we didn’t find a wide gulf in price, from Base up to Loaded.

Base

Price: $42,050 (335i Sedan) + $875 (destination & handling) + $0 (options) = $42,925

Loaded

Price: $42,050 (335i Sedan) + $27,119 (options) + $875 = $70,044
