************************************************** **Yup, the E90 is the entry level BMW car in this market (U S). The question is whether or not BMW will be able to keep these conquests over time. During the '80s 'Yuppies' discovered BMWs, many of whom later migrated to Acuras and Lexi. I think it could be argued that BMW began to change about then. I came very close to buying an Infinity this year and very well may do so the next time around if BMW keeps up it's migration toward the mainstream. It is getting more and more difficult to rationalize the cost difference, especially since I seldom drive at 9/10ths any more!
