It probably will be priced higher than people expect, and fewer of the M3's traditional buyers will be able to afford the E92, compared to the E46 when it came out. The M6's price makes the M5 seem like a bargain... and the M5 is a much more "practical" car.
I think the M3 MIGHT base under $60K.... but just barely. I'm expecting $65 with just basic options (no nav). I thought BMW was trying to move the car "upmarket" a bit, weren't they? I mean they almost called the E92 coupes the "4 series"..... With the CF roof, they're going to pitch M3 as a mini M6, don't you think? The 335i fills the performance gap now anyway, and at an "affordable" price.
Sheer conjecture on my part -- but it's fun to pass the time......
