I’m confused.
BMWs are status symbols,
But they’re common.
They are expensive for oil changes.
But so are a lot of other cars.
And they cost the same as a corolla.
But they’re status symbols.

I think he said his used BMW cost the same as a new Corolla.
Anyway, I agree with you. As I said (paraphrasing myself), BMWs are only really status symbols among BMW drivers. And maybe a (very) few others. But hey, to each his own! Give me a Camaro SS any day. For less than the price of a 328i, you get a much faster car. Or a Shelby GT 500. For about the price of a 535i, you get more than twice the horsepower and an 11.5 second quarter mile. Screw status, that’s fun!
