Cost for Road Tax on a 2002 BMW 540i - Where's it going?

[scz4]

Away to look at a BMW E39 2002 540i Auto, but I have a question after looking on Parkers.

4 Sep 2000 – 1 Mar 2001 £112.75 £205.00
1 Mar 2001 – 1 Jun 2003 £134.75 £245.00 K 295g/km)

What's going to happen in 2011 and 2012 etc, will it be up in the top £450 band? I know there are different rules for pre 2001 and pre 2006 cars.
