Apple makes the shittiest hardware (and software!) in the computer business. Don't be fooled by their massive PR campaigns. And no, M$ is *not* any better either. In this case, you can't compare the brands, it's like comparing an F-22 to a toaster...they have absolutely nothing in common. #7: Sorry, but you are dead wrong.

It is completely relative to the buyers pocket book. People who think "value" can be judged objectively are fooling themselves. The expense of a RR should have nothing to do with our judging it.

Is it just the name and the way it looks that makes it so expensive?? i know this might be a bit off topic but talking about Rolls Royce…. why is is the phantom so expensive??? what makes it sooo good??? i was thinking about it yesterday and it seems like a Mercedes S 600 has everything and maybe even more gadgets than the Rolls royce and it is sooooo much less expensive.

Apple and BMW are two of the best companies in the world. BMW's Rolls royce creation and Apple's imac creation are amazing. How can you call Apple garbage, better then Cr@ppy microsoft. Microsoft is like Mercedes, they copy every one else and make absoulute trash. BMW is like Apple, different, amazing and cool. No 6. Apple and BMW are two of the best companies in the world.

How many spy shots of the new M3 have we seen... All of them in California.. I know they do it for publicity but i dont think BMW want that much exposure. Also the amount of discussion about there product plans is too high..... Be like Apple and hide everything until a launch event....

It is failing miserably. Bangelizing it won't increase sales at all. There is little to none that BMW can offer in this dismal segment over the current offering (notice the lack of plurality here). It is foolish to follow into a segment that has proven not to be popular or profitable. Once again Renton, MB has done this already. It is failing miserably.

A much more efficient people mover than the SUV. It will still be fun to drive. I think the BMW high performance minivan concept will be very cool. A much more efficient people mover than the SUV.
