The Bentley with zero options starts at $202K, the Aston is $198K. If we're being realistic, by the time someone options either one of these "rivals" even modestly, they'd be pushing $220K-$250K. So in reality we're looking at between $80-$100K difference between the Bimmer and it's supposed competition. Once you begin to add in variables such as 3 year free maintenance with the BMW, along with insurance costs, you're looking at an even wider price margin.

I see it more as a cut price GT than a 911 or other sports car competitor. What car is closer?
