Do not attempt to factor in the premium that someone paid the dealer over MSRP. That is the finest example of disposable income that I have ever seen.

It's ALWAYS going to be about Supply and Demand. SMG, poor fuel returns etc may all be factors reducing Demand but with the M3 it is becoming quite clear that BMW Supply is high; at least in the UK!
