Not really.
If you factor inflation, a 2006 330 fairly well equipped was $44k in 2016. In 2019 dollars that’s roughly $56k. A 2019 RWD M340 which comes with more items as standard than the fully equipped 2006 is $54k. So the latest model is about the same price as the e90 was. |
I don't know if 3 years was a big difference but my 2003 330i with sport and premium package with 6 speed manual was $40,500 on the window. Miss that car. New owner still has it with 250,000+ miles. He's only done vanos seals, CAB, cooling system fixes, occasionally power window regs, fluid changes (the rear diff has a drain plug - imagine that!), guibo, and brake jobs. He did most of that in his garage. None of the G series will make it that far with carbon buildup fixes, possible timing chain issues requiring an engine drop, and likely a new tranny as there's no manual anymore.
Then again we all lease anyway right?
