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.
You forget about the M3 sedan

It will be cheaper than the coupe and be the direct competition for the RS4
