Escalating the 1989 E30 MSRP of $28,950 to 2025 dollars racks it up to $75,830! Man, how BMW was living high off the Hog of the 1980's Yuppie'ism to charge such an astronomical price for what was basically their European (spartan) economy car (and taxicab/Polizei car) fitted with the phenomenal M20B25 I6 as standard equipment for the North American market by 1989.
That is nearly M3 money these days and right in the bullseye for a well-equipped M2. How lucky we are.

Adjusted MSRP also more or less Z4 M40i money now. Still less than unadjusted MY96 SL500 MSRP my E30 was traded for.
