I have a good buddy who's driven M6s and then an M8 for many years. He leased his last M8 in 2020 when BMW and BMWFS where just throwing money at anyone who even thought about buying a car. To replace that car today, his lease payment would have increased 50%. Instead, he's picking up a new M4C in a couple days and his lease payment will decrease by only about $100/month. It's not just an outta control world, it's a world that's totally flipped upside-down in just a few months time. And you can't blame BMW for that.

That sounds pretty accurate in terms of pricing.
Inflation in US and Europe is pretty bad over last few years so make sense they keep increasing prices. Input costs gone up for sure plus labor force cost is up too.
I think this is partly the reason u see 911 market so crazy too. U can’t get new one and if u can it’s like 150+ plus for anything relatively nice. So then people turn to used.
But prices on any of these cars are not going to go down any time soon. Sure BMW can offer deals and such and some people will benefit but MSRP won’t go down. And when next gen of hybrid comes it’s not going to be any cheaper.
These are the prices because dollar value is less m.
