Good question. My best educated guess is the 5er because it combines a high price with a reasonably high volume for the base car.

You might need to refine your question to include E90 and E92. Why? The huge importance of volume on price in manufacturing. The E90 is built on a chassis of a very high volume car globally as compared to the E92. Some of these models have a full order of magnitude of difference in production volumes and that in turn has a big effect on the cost of manufactured and purchased components.
