Haven't seen any mention of this issue on this forum.
Monday, 1/3 I ordered 535ix, the last day of the holiday bonus incentive. CA told me a/o Jan 1 there is a $500 increase in the MSRP base price of 5 series models. 535ix base price showing up at $52400. We had already decided on a bottom line figure so he adjusted the numbers on the F10 and my e60 trade in to wind up at the same previously agreed upon price. So no harm, no foul. Still I wonder if he was blowing smoke at me making me feel good that he was doing me a favor or there really was a $500 price increase. Edmunds is still showing the base price at $51900.

Thanks for the link to the BMW website, showing MSRP at $52400. 535ix cars in dealer inventory have window stickers with $51900 base price. When did that $500 price increase occur?

2.5% increase in the UK plus 2.5% tax increase. Ouch! My 530d M-Sport (awaiting delivery) with Nav Pro and Xenons lists at £50k - about the same as a fully loaded 550 in the US...
