X3 vs 335xi Sedan, fully loaded, prices compared

just thought this was interesting, US Pricing:

loaded 335xi Sedan: $57,000
X3 35i with same options: $55,340

Now that is assuming the M Sport package will be $2,000 more than the Sport Activity package in the X3, but that is similar to the upgrade price in the 335xi, so lets say it will be.

Interesting other points:
-335xi premium sound has only 10-13 speakers and 420 watts, X3 premium sound has 16 speakers and 600 watts.
-X3 has power tailgate in this configuration
-X3 also has panoramic moonroof
-X3 also has rear view camera

even if you add either the HUD or DHP, the price will still come in just under a 335xi sedan (which doesn't have those two options).

so, same engine, same interior (or nicer) but much larger vehicle, and its cheaper than the 335xi?

Why doesn't BMW just build more plants in the US and build the 3 series, and 1 series here? Could save us all a few thousand dollars. Of course Ms will still have a huge premium and I would want them built in Germany
