I suppose what I mean is that $150k opens up lots of opportunities these days than say in 2007 when 48i was introduced at around $120k e.g. Porsche prices have dropped so I could now get the new Porsche Boxster spyder for an extra $10 with corp discounting etc..and I know what I'd rather have up the drive ultimately - kids can walk to scholol
Different cars completely I know ... but still ..
Also - as X6X5 points out its overpriced compared to US market and current value of Aus $ (when it was 50c to the US I could understand this sort of pricing in Aus ..but really ..its like 93c to the US right now .,.and they pay something like $70-80K for fully loaded 50i in the US ....)
Wil be interesting to see how many go the 50i now ..dealer said there was little interest so far ... 40d is not cheap anymore .. so the 35i I suspect will do well along with 30d ofcourse ....
Selfishly I also like the fact that prices at least didnt go down - that would have made my 2010 X5 35d (1 month old) accelerate its depreciation ....
