And im glad to hear it.... If this was a special edition sedan, I would be kind of dissapointed by the lack of goodies. But what grabs my attention is the BMW Individual Premium Sound.... How does that differ out our premium sound? I hope its kick ass lol

BMW Individual Premium Sound = Enhanced Premium Audio Sound = Individual Audio system = Not That Great for $1900 Sound system
In defense of BMWUSA (not that they need any support on this effort from me) I do not think that the current economic climate in the USA, the lack of M3 sales (yes, our M3 is a sales dud compared with the sales levels of the E46 M3) and the gas prices in the $4.00 a gallon, would be conducent to a
balls out M3 special edition with higher power, big brakes, special seats and so on to be priced in the $95000+. That sucker would need to be recertified and recrashed costing a couple of million bucks in factory costs... just to sell maybe the same 20 units in the USA. Just maybe.
This one has a "low" cost investment -I would say that a different color of stitching and wheels and no clearcoat should cost (IMO) maybe $5000
total to BMW in factory costs for the whole 20-unit run- and still it is $80000 and change.
The reason that these cosmetic changes are limited to only 20 units should tell everybody something. At least it tells me that whoever came with this idea at BMWNA will receive a nice bonus at the end of the year...
