Entry point now is petrol and M-Sport spec, so not a pure like for like comparison, is nudging €71k. The CSO compound inflation calculator suggests that €45k in Oct 2009 would inflate to just under €57k last month. In real terms the entry level 5 series price has risen by €14k in as many years. I know there are other variables, such as additional equipment, VRT rates, etc. but that's quite a jump.
