Without hi-jacking entirely that's too far towards the other side of things. That means that someone should me making $250K/year to buy a $50K car. That's equally unrealistic.

Back to affordability, BMW has made a number of features standard that weren't before, peoples expectations of what is in a luxury car keep expanding so that drives up costs as well. Add inflation to that mix as well. That and if the market is there they are free to charge what the market will bear.
