I've wondered this for a long time, so I went a ahead and figured it out. According to a data sheet on Ullrich's e12 site the M535i was to cost DM 43,595 in 1980, the exchange rate at the beginning of 1980 was around $1.00 = DM 1.70, that puts the cost of the car at $25,644, if we use the inflation calculator from this site: http://www.westegg.com/inflation/ then the M535i's cost was $60,052.03 in 2001 terms. Food for thought.
