BMW Pricing Logic

German Auto Manufacturer's Pricing Logic
  1. Coupes cost more than Sedans [Let's see how much is that 1 Series 4 door in North America?]
  2. $10,000 to $90,000 premium for sub five second 0-60 MPH times [135i 4.8 0-60?]
  3. Continuing decline of the dollar versus the Euro. The price increases have to start somewhere. Best to do it on a new model.

If this is true (which I doubt), I'm not interested.

Bad value. No, horrible value.

For me, it's not about price, but perceived value.

$38K for a hopped up economy car is absurd.

BMW will have a failure on their hands.

Instead, I'll get a Cayman or a 997.

Let's consider this: there is reliable information that the 128i will sell for less than $30K. An $8K premium for the 135i doesn't add up.

I think the information is just wrong.

My man, did it ever occur to you that your 'salesman' wants you to buy a 335 now by BSing you on the 135 price.....a prospect that is a buyer 6 months from now is not a prospect...he knows "top of the list" is as good as the paper its written on....he could be off at his new job selling Fords by then....by telling you only 3k difference, dont you think that it could be a gambit on his part for you to get that 335 NOW you probably told him was sweet.....

you sure have alot of trust in this guy.....

Maybe its a marketing gimick to promote sales of their current models by worrying people about such a little price difference now.

+1

They are not going to sell the 135i for $8k over the 128i. There isnt even that much price difference between a V6 rental Mustang and the V8 GT premium.
