But if you are in the camp of "charge me if you can" as long as you can give me some ideas to justify the raise, then sure - you win your argument.

My 2007 328i stripper with Navigation and Sport package as the only options (it was my first car out of college) was ~$34,500 at Euro Delivery invoice + $500 profit so I don't know where your imagined $34k price tag comes from.
It was nowhere near the package level of the $56k 2019 330i, which has options out the wazoo. |
My 2006 was 325 with sport and premium packages at 34k and change before tax. 6 speed. No navigation though as I recall it was pretty expensive at the time. I actually threw out the receipt a couple of years ago.... it was one of the first cars purchased in US as it was the first year of production. 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...
