More numbers for you....
2003 M5 MSRP - 70,400
2003 540i 6SPD MSRP - 55,800
% Premium for E39 M5 vs E39 540i = 26%
2006 M5 MSRP - 81,200
2006 550I 6SPD MSRP - 58,500
% Premium for E60 M5 vs E60 550i = 38%
% Increase In Premium from 2003 to 2006, 31%
---------------------------------------------------
Now Let's apply that to the E90...
2007 335i MSRP - 40,600
On the E46 there was a 30% Premium for the M3, now let's compound that with a 31% Increase (based on E39 vs E60). This yields a total cost increase against the E90 of 39.3%. Apply that to the E90 base price yields 56,500.
Any questions.
