DJ, I have seen similar arguments elsewhere.
However, the premise of your point appears to be that buying a gasoline BMW is a rational economic action. It isn't. If I were after a good economic return on my investment, I would buy a Honda Civic and drive it for 15-20 years. IMHO, anyone who applies your math when buying Beemer is wistling into the wind. My next car will be a diesel -- not because it makes economic sense, but because I like diesels. Likewise, I may buy a BMW because I like BMWs, although financially I may be better off with a Civic.
