I would still probably be "in" myself, but this is really going to shut down a lot of potential buyers. I am still betting less than $60k base USD. I guess if the car owns the 911S (NOT the "mid level" 911 as SCOTT26) and Aston Vantage it would be worth it but still....$64k ugh.
Ah...I multiplied by 1.9 something...
US MSRP of E46 M3 base model (manual) was $48,xxx.
That's a huge jump!
Despite the fact that this "1.3" conversion factor works just right for RS4 and M5, I doubt that's going to happen. (At least I hope not because loaded new M3 with $64k base price will be end up around high $70k or even $80k)
I got this $16k difference from "build your own" of my E46 M3, which I never got to buy it.

Am I missing something or what...?
