It's pretty clear Toyota is a MUCH better deal.

Hence the reason why BMW / MB is introducing a whole bunch of cheaper budget low end cars, in which enthusiast hate and say it is the end of BMW. However, BMW keeps hitting record high sales and releasing new cars, so doubt they really care about the enthusiasts as much.
I said this before but I cross shopped my wife's X1 with a Rav4 limited, Subaru forester sport, CRV Limited etc. X1 was our choice, the cost was similar when similarly optioned - leather / nav included.
