The G80 price vs. inflation has been discussed and, long story short, this car costs exactly the same as F80 and E90 and E46 when you consider the value of a US Dollar today vs. the years when those cars were sold.

For us in Canada, it's not quite the same story. We've been pretty lucky in the sense that the M3/4 have been almost immune to inflation between the E46, E9X and F8X, so when considering inflation, their price actually went down. The base MSRP for my E46 in 2001 was 73k CAD, 72K for my E92 in 2008 and 74k for my F82 in 2014.
With the G82, they significantly upped to base price to 85k. Optioning an M4 to my liking (not even fully loaded) hikes the price above 110k CAD, which is more than what I paid for my M4cs
. I guess times are catching up.
