The genius from England /Scotland that they brought over to run the NA operations keeps on surprising me with the egg head moves he keep on pulling.

MSRP [Manufacturer's Suggested Retail Price] and selling price are not the same.
I learned as a child that EVERYTHING is negotiable. Besides, higher prices might help drive exclusivity. I don't think a few %age points rise in the MSRP is going to cause BMW buyers to switch and buy Hyundai Genesis's.

The latest iteration of BMW's all-singing, all-dancing plutocrat limo will roll out the door starting at $81,125.
That is a bit less than I payed for my 520dA

As to the new 7 Series pricing, not a biggie as most buyers of 7s can afford the tariff. As to the 0.7% increase on the rest, seems pretty insignificant to me. US pricing was way low compared to other countries BMW pricing. I can't imagine such a small increase would stop any serious buyer, and, as stated, everyone makes an offer anyway.

I'm not economist, but aren't interest rates close to 0% now? Wouldn't it be great to go lease an M5 or M6 or whatever you want? Also, I got my 535 in July and I'm glad I did, because if if was a grand more for the horride "xdrive" badge on the side, I would have gotten a Lexus instead.
