Hmm, about the only thing this test proves is that a *comparably
equipped* 3-series is more expensive than the MG. Big surprise there.
On a fairer comparison (i.e. 325) I think the results would be a little
different.
Also, dismissing the BMW as a German status symbol while claiming the
current MGs are "steeped in British Racing History" is a bit ironic to
me. F1 is the top dog in motorsports... how many F1 races has MG won
recently?
I love my MG, but this is marketing hype, pure and simple (and pretty
effective too!)
