What's interesting? Some SE's of the same engine have gone up more, some less...? 525d SE has gone up 4.1% whilst 535d 'only' 3.3%

What's interesting is that by far in the UK the e60 market is dominated by the MSport variant.

And, for the diesels, that's where BMW has relentlessly ramped up the price increases in line with the "prestige/performance" of each model whereas, as you point out, for petrols and SE there is no such observable trend.

And, to add insult to injury, if I understand correctly, the MSport panels are the same either side of LCI!

Any idea what % of cars in the UK are sold with M-sport?
It's rare enough here as the SE suspension and smaller wheels are more suitable for our roads.
