BMW has officially announced the pricing for its 2009 models.
Due to a rise in raw materials costs and the horrible dollar, BMW is raising the price of its vehicles by 2.1 percent on average across its model range.
The 2009 BMWs will start to arrive in dealerships in October and pricing has not been released for the Z4 Roadster and Coupe, since 2008 is the last year of production for those two vehicles (don't worry BMW is working on a new Z4).

PRESS RELEASE:
BMW Announces 2009 Model Year Pricing
Woodcliff Lake, NJ - August 25, 2008... BMW of North America, LLC today announced a price increase of 2.1 percent on average across its model range of 2009 BMW brand vehicles.
The modest price adjustment is driven mainly by continually rising raw materials costs and ongoing exchange rate pressure.
"The significant structural and economic changes in the marketplace are prompting all automakers to further refine actions to respond to these pressures," said Jim O'Donnell, President of BMW of North America, LLC. "At BMW, we're responding with a number of internal efficiency improvements to offset our increased costs so that we can keep this price increase modest."
Model year 2009 vehicles are due to arrive at dealerships in October. Minor price adjustments will also be made to selected options/packages. There is no 2009 pricing on Z4 Roadsters and Coupes as production concludes at the end of the 2008 model year.

They are after that tax refund. BMW's target group can probably afford to spend it on a new car.

These prices are way cheap for Europe... I bought my 2006 320i (35,000 km) 3 months ago for 45 000 UDS!!!! \
Brand new would have been around 70 000 USD here in Cyprus

@stefanos
I feel with you, but you are not alone. While european countries like Germany and Sweden have very low taxes on cars, in a country like Norway, a new 335i would set you back more than a whopping 150.000 USD (compare that to the 40.000 USD price tag in the US!) mostly due to the high car tax level. - And I beliveve the price is even higher in Denmark? So be thankful and go buy! ;-)

Not surprising, its actually a price decrease since the price increase is less than the inflation rate and the value of the dollar. At least in the US.

@Cloned,
Yes, but as everyone knows your raise (if you even get one) is rarely based on real world things like inflation and the value of the dollar.
If you have the same job as you did in 2000, you might actually make less spendable cash.

Who cares? Anyone that can afford a Beemer doesn't care what they cost anyway...they're still going to buy them. This isn't exactly the crowd that's affected by the economy.

So...Bring Money Weekly is going to charge even more to get the worst service in the world. My God! they don't even have dipsticks so you have to go to a "dealer" to turn off the oil light and pay $15 a QUART for their 10w60 "special" oil. I've owned two(2) BMW 2002 in the day. Great simple cars (except for stupid placement of thermostat) that would run 85mph across pre interstate Texas at 20mpg. But alas now they are "classics" and junkers go for obcene prices. BMW also stands for Break My Wallet
