Again, I think BMW will miss a HUGE segment of the people who would buy the M3 if they price it at the RS4. The RS4 has more to offer than the M3 starting with 4 doors and a reasonable back seat, Quattro, and an Audi interior. Also, the RS4 has most options built into its base price, while BMW is notorious for making everything a 1 to 3K option.
Base MSRP of 66K USD would mean an out the door price of between 74 and 76K. I think people would just buy a base 997 for that price.
Bottom line, M3 is not as much of a car as the RS4 or any 911 and BMW would be sorely mistaken to price it as such.
