Not $4,000 as you calculated, but $400. So my $5,000 unexplained price difference between the 2014 35i and 35is stands. BTW, I hope you don't have anything to do with the finances in your home or business - you really need some help with the basic principles of comparative costing.

have you calculated in bmw's r&d cost yet?
bmw can charge any price they want and people will pay so stop complaining if its too steep for you. someone will pay for it. just like the m5/m6 exhaust coming out soon, it will bare a price between 8-10k and i can see plenty of people ready to pay for it.
i paid 58k for my fully loaded z435is when the sticker was 75k last year. i paid 84k for my rr lux when the sticker was 98k. i also purchased a house for 1.7m when the market was ugly and now its back to 3.2m so i think i did pretty ok for myself.
i am not responding to this thread anymore. this is just stupid. make your own thread and complain about bmw pricing
