Yes, it is an entry level product. I get that. But don't place this where the 328 was, and simply charge more for the 328 and 335 (which is what the pricing has done).

Look at where the 2007 E90 328 MSRP was: $33,175. Look at where the 2014 320 MSRP is. Notice something eerily similar?

You can't tell me that inflation (during the recession) has gotten to the point where there is now a 4k premium over what it used to be.
Agreed. the price of the 3-series is higher than ever (perf too, incidentally). What can I say? They placed the 3-series more upmarket than ever. It's a "3.5" now, routinely priced above $50k. This is to make room for the 2-series, I guess.
