The biggest differences I've noticed are:
- Noise: BMW is much quieter
- Weight: BMW feels heavier
- Luxury:, more powerful and more luxurious.
- Civic rides better.
- BMW gets 25 mpg, Civic gets 30-33.
- Civic feels bigger and there's more light inside.
- BMW handles better but the Civic handles pretty well for an economy car.
- BMW makes much better sounds.
Is the BMW worth twice as much to buy and maintain?

exactly. We all didn't get to the point we could afford a BMW by throwing money away
