1. Neither the U.S. or Canada has experienced a 3% annualized overall rate of inflation between 2008 and the present.
2. Few goods and services increase at the same rate as the overall consumer price index. Some more, some less and some even decline.
3. Vehicle prices have increased less than the overall consumer price index and this is certainly true for BMWs.
4. My 1er cabrio base MSRP was $39,900 in Feb 2008 and the same optioned base 2013 MSRP is $41,400 for an annualized price increase of LT 1%.
