What?
I don't get it - everywhere in the world inflation is so low that governments print money to spike it up but BMW shop thinks otherwise. Weird. Maybe it's greed?

Typical "corporate speak."
A "price adjustment" is what they call it when it's plain to see that it's a "price increase." Are they trying to convince buyers who get in before the "adjustment" that they got lucky and paid less than they should have? Anyone want to wager on how long it'll be before BMW have to introduce a 318i because the 320i has been "price adjusted" beyond the reach of its target market? LOL All the best.

I wish everyone's salary raises kept up with BMW's inflation rate. Some of these prices are getting ridiculous. An entry level BMW with a couple of must have options costs as much as a fully loaded 2015 Ford Mustang GT, which will maul most BMWs in performance.

And here I was just asking if there were any programs in October for F15, well, I guess I should feel lucky that F15 is pretty much the only one that didn't get $200 bump.
I wonder if they are coupling any new incentives? There isn't much at all if any.

The real inflation numbers are like 6% hardly low. http://www.shadowstats.com" rel="" target="_blank">http://<a href="http://www.shadowsta...wstats.com</a> If you are unfamiliar with how CPI is calculated, read about how many times the items they use to base it on has changed since the 90's. When something gets too expensive they sub it for something else. Govt, technically central banks, (ie private inst) print money to bail out and fund otherwise involvement banks and allow for govt to be funding by creating so much liquidity they can m Buy Tbills each month to keep the yields low. Keeping yields low prevents the 70trillon in derivatives from breaking that are based on higher interest rates.

My point was BMW are pushing prices up with 20th Century Technology whereas others are embracing new 21st Century Technology at similar or cheaper prices and placing it as standard on their cars. To summarise: Just as Edison said we'll make electricity so cheap that only the rich will buy candles, every car manufacturer recently said we'll make LED lights so cheap only BMW drivers will use halogens. |

Not sure what people are complaining about. If you look back at E46 prices and adjust for inflation today, it's in the same ballpark. I believe the E46 330i was around 36k, today that would be about 48k for a 330/335?
