With BMW it a little different, Its a great car/truck but I still think most people buy it for its status.
I use my car for business and the Chevy Blazer would just not give the same image.
I just don't think most people are honest with them selves.
That said I don’t think I will ever buy a Rolex.

Well that would explain the snob comments. I'm sure that some would buy a BMW simply to have a BMW, these are the folks that usually buy that Bimmer with 140,000 miles on it for about $10,000 just so they can say they have a BMW. However, most people you would find on this site are of another variety. I have found in my own experience that those that don't have a BMW/MD/LR or whatever are the ones that say "oh, that is a snobs vehicle, bought for the name" while the people that have owned NUMEROUS Bimmers buy the vehicle for the wonderful designs, overall good quality, features such as X-Drive and 5-star safety ratings along with bi-xenon adjusting headlights, Panoramic moon roofs and other items that were not seen until a few years ago in mass numbers. There is more to buying a BMW then the Roundel.
Ugh, I need to chill...I just get bent when people act like a $60K SUV is some amazingly expensive vehicle that only the snobbiest of owners can have. Simply because the person did not want, what in their eyes was, a lesser vehicle. Fact of the matter is if you own personal preference didn't have any say, we would all drive around in cars costing far less then 20,000.00.
