135i Price Complaints (a look in to the future)

[Zonian22]

Why so many complaints about the pricing of the 1-series? It's just the natrual progression of how the Autombile Market works. Just think, in the year 2049, when the smaller and more affordable BMW 035i comes out, we'll be complaining about paying a $47,000 base price including destination for an "affordable BMW"!!!!! Just a thought :biggrin:

Damn does that mean a 100k car now will be well over 200k?!?

It's easy enough to calculate.

Of all the crap I learned in Economics back in grad school, the one formula I use on a regular basis is "time value of money" which is:



PV is the value at time=0
FV is the value at time=n
i is the rate at which the amount will be compounded each period
n is the number of periods
