I see there are tons of options for the F30. They do not appeal to me.

I could have a fully loaded no line with $8k in options, would that make it a better car-just so it could be loaded with TECH items?

But this is about the E90 vs F30. When you factor in MSRP, features now standard, the price of the F30 has not inflated much at all compared to the E90. On the other forum someone did the homework of MSRPs dating back to the E46 adjusted for inflation and the F30 is actually not a jump at all(or less than $1000 but including more standard equipment).
You can interpret mid $40K anyway to you want, but most people consider $43,450 is in the mid $40K.
$38K is a good price for the options you got, cannot compare an E90 apple to apple because some options are not available on the E90, but a strip down E90 328i would probably have cost about mid $30K with incentives and discounts.
Forget the fully loaded F30 no line with $8k in options, I would go for the fully loaded sport line with $8k in options.
When we compare the new E90 vs the new F30 back in April, both cars were in the showroom. When we equipped it similarly and consider all incentives for both cars, the E90 was about $8000 cheaper.
