1.9% inflation on a $50,000 car would be over $900, but the prices only went up $2-300.
Considering an average of 2.5% inflation annually, I'd say BMW is making an impressively conscious effort at not upsetting their increasingly price sensitive market, as indicated by all of the surprised sounding contributions to this thread, perhaps
