[Los Angeles]

So today I'm watching the KTLA morning show and I see the newscaster broadcast live from the LA Auto Show.

They then proceed to talk about BMW and the new M3.

The representative on behalf of the LA Auto Show then mentions the "pricing" of the new M3.

He says, "This right here is the new M3, a big car for BMW enthusiasts. It's about $80 thousand dollars".

WTF?

I'm not sure if he mentioned the US official price?

Maybe this is the price of the car fully optioned and after taxes?

I also noticed a little podium with specs near the car just as you all have seen at the Frankfurt Show and the Toyko Show.

Possibly the MSRP came from the podium?

Anyone else hear any numbers from the LA Auto Show?

Discuss.
