They also had to begin to raise the price of the 3er ever so slightly to allow for a pricing segment of the upcoming 1er. Keeping the starting price of the 3er at 29k would have shoved the starting price for the 1er into the low 20K area. And you know BMW wanted no business going below 25K for any of their cars in the USA.
