I wonder if BMW NA will be one of many companies with non-US parents which will be having to reappraise their pricing structure and margins?

It's figured into the MY price. I'm sure we'll see an adjustment in '08. This isn't the first time (nor the last) that the dollar has taken a dive. I'm sure that was another reason for the US plant, it's a way to hedge their bet.
Unsurprisingly here in UK when EU MY changed in September there were no price changes - but the mid-life kick is coming soon so there's a need to keep sales buoyant.

What would be good is if for us, owners, the market value of our cars would go up since it will be more expensive to buy a new one. I don't think the blue book will take that into consideration
