What nonsense. The US dollar is at a high vs. the Euro. If anything, the prices should be lowered.

And make the huge gulf between the US (where BMW's are cheap), and the rest of the world even bigger?

But the Euro prices of every single thing so not only cars are flying to the sky !
Seems that everything is made from gold over here and the system strangles itself !
Don't complain in the US, saw the US price adjustment it means almost nothing , because Euro car prices are 40-45 % higher and on top of this we have rediculous yearly driver taxes .
Where will it end...

There was a time when the BMW you were buying was clearly a better driving car than the competition. That advantage is no longer present. It is silly to blindly purchase a BMW without shopping other brands. Further, you will learn how BMW charges $$ for options that are standard in much less expensive cars.

Agreed. But at the same time, my business had to raise prices twice in 2014 to keep profit at an acceptable level. So I'm some what sympathetic.

and why does the handling fee increase? thats a nonsense charge just so they can make at least 1k on all cars. so they keep increasing the price and yet they keep taking taking stand alone options away and force people to buy a package with a bunch of crap they dont want just to get comfort access.

That doesn't matter. The USD will still be converted to Euro when BMW bring the cash back to the fatherland.

Slap in the face. I'm sorry, I can't justify a price hike of any sort. The interior quality on my F30 is terrible, the drive is boring, and the car has absolutely no emotion. Once the lease on my F30 is done, no more BMW for me. Hello there, Mercedes. W205, here I come. At least the interior is nice to look at, even in the base model.

Yeah, the M4 is a great car. I do love it, but the new c63 seems like it may take the small sedan/coupe crown this time. Might pick one up myself.

Remember though, there's been no inflation due to wreckless Fed policies.

Makes me sick the lies that are being told these days.
