I strongly, strongly doubt that the base MSRP of the M3 will increase by more than $1000.
If BMW is planning on such a huge increase like some suggest, then why, when they raised prices just two months ago

were the increases so nominal, and in fact no more than a normal price increase for BMW or indeed any car company? Things have not changed so drastically in just these past two months to expect such a dramatic increase.
