BMW to raise price by $6000 across the board

Re: BMW to raise price by $6000 across the board

Sorry to be a wet blanket... but personally support the hike cos BMWs should be priced under the premium category and not to be a car so affordable that any Tom, Dick or Harry can buy. I see too many BMWs on the road nowadays and it has seem to start losing its prestige. even Audis and Lexus base models are more expensive than BMW base models...

Hi wt_-know,

that's it................



cheers

Then buy a 318 and go for an ECU reflash with BOSS... less a few options but same or better power with about $15k-$20k cheaper =)

Well im already prepared for 60k COE soon. Less COE's means higher price as both the Luxury and budget buyers will be fighting for that piece of paper

Hi DriveAllDay,

now 320i got i-drive and sun roof right? saw the M-sports variant ( fully kitted plus got sports seats.....)


cheers

Well, $10K drop in OMV implies a $23K drop in cost. Balance against that the $30K increase in COE, the selling price should be +$7K if margins remain constant, and all things being equal.

So the question is whether the i-drive and sun roof are worth the additional $48K...

Think they're all M-sport versions now. But yeah I don't think the M-suspension, body kit, and sun roof are worth $48k.

It's just profiteering on PML's part.

Well if you guys notice, OMVs have been dropping for conti's. In SG Audis are the most overpriced.

After I bought my E92 320i from PML (prolly the first ever in SG! ) I looked around and found that in the UK, for the exact same price.. I could have gotten...

.. A FRIGGIN MASERATI GRAN CABRIO!!

Sheesh.

Re: BMW to raise price by $6000 across the board

Yeah! Crazy.. from what I understand though is that their insurance is a killer. But the price diff between equivalent cars here and in the UK should be more than enough to make up for it. :screwedu:

Yeah I know.. I learnt that from watching Top Gear.. the one where they pretended to be teenagers looking for quotes on their small cars. Average was about 4k pounds for a family car.
