compare paint jobs on different models of BMW & different models of MB, Lexus & Jaquar, then look @ a Rolls or Bentley.
+1 All companies are doing it. I noticed BMW is doing several things.

1. The premum sound system is no longer standard in the 335.
2. The 3 series lost it smokers package (don't care) but they just have a hole in front of the shifter, not even a nice laminated wood cover.
3. The 5 and 6 series are losing the expensive to build Grav aluminum front ends.
4. The spare tire is now an option in the X6. Used to be standard.

These are just the things I noticed or read about. I am sure they are more.
