Perhaps the prices when up the next year the when they went to 328 and 335? Was yours xi?
Anyway, there u go you still paid 34k in 2007. However if you like paying 56k for that in 2019 albeit with some features added, by all means...

The base price of a 330xi in 2006 was $38,500 which was still slower than this current 330xi. Even the 325xi cost $32,800 with zero options. After delivery and the same level of options this car has, even the 325xi can probably easily hit $43,000. Then, you have to calculate inflation. In 2006, $43,000 was the equivalent of $54,500 in 2018 money. Oh look at that. That's just about the same price.
