BMW is now running an impressive 0.9% financing deal, which makes it a great time to buy a BMW complete with an auto warranty.  This is especially true since BMW will be raising its prices an average of 2% for the 2009 model year.  Other than the 3 Series, most BMW models will not have any changes for the 2009 model year, which makes the price increase fairly annoying for BMW customers.

BMW claims that their prices are going up because of the high cost of raw materials, and that the majority of car manufacturers generally raise their prices about 1%-3% on unchanged models annually.

Be aware that there are some option packages that have changed, which can have a drastic effect on the price of a BMW.  Cars that won’t be back for the 2009 model year are the M4 roadster and coupe and the Z4 roadster and coupe.  It has been reported that there will be a redesigned roadster ready in 2010.
