That is more of an increase than most generations went through (you are right the E30->E36 was quite a jump).
200-325, we agree and anyone calling out one end as fact is looking more for drama than facts. It’s too early for the panic in this thread.

I don’t agree that we can say it’s more increase than most generations at this stage. There’s a reasonable chance it’s in the middle of the pack and very normal/average.
