I hope comfort access is a standalone option. I really don't want the premium package but also don't want to go back to having to use the key.

[Jason]

Yes, comfort access is a standalone option.

Cool thanks.

So Power Rear Sunshade is included for free with ZPP?

[Seattle S65B40]

looks like no Comp Package for E93, as had been alluded to in some rumors...

Oh, I get it - by "$5th" rick berry meant $5 thousand ($5000). I.e. the price, not the name of the package.

That's a good deal vs. a standard individual order. Of course, to get that price, you are limited to just those few colors. And the level of exclusivity is probably not going to be quite so high.

- Comfort Access can be ordered individually ($500), no package required.

LOL, five model years later they finally get that one in there.

Correct.

[Mr. ///M3 RD]

What would be the Canadian pricing? Anyone know?

[SamS]

Very good! I had spec'd out a pretty loaded MY2011 E92 M3 in anticipation of MY2012. The difference is $100 less in favor of the MY2012, and I get the Power Rear Sunshade (was not planning on ordering) for free!

Hoping my dealer places my order in the system today

So if I got this right, base MSRP goes up $1000 but the Premium Package + Convenience Package is now combined at $4350 for a $1050 savings from before. And we get the rear sunshade thrown in too

[Lunker]

If you order now when would you take delivery? Wondering if I should have waited...

Yep, but ED MSRP on the E92 only goes up $880. So the $1050 savings nets out to ~$100 once you figure in discounts on options.

I'm happy with the slight changes and new pricing.

... add $1350/$1550 in standard equipment as well.

[stefan]

Hmm.. Canadian M3s still have more standard spec items. But its always nice to see.

Yes, but the alarm/iPod/USB added as standard equipment is reduced from the cost of ZPP. Net just a hundred dollars if you were already going to order Convenience Pkg + Premium 2.

Or, you can look at those few things in standard equipment as counting towards the cost of the base increase.

Net/Net, not a huge change in price. Which is OK!

I am wondering too Stefan .... perhaps Jason can find out for us poor Canadians I am very interested since our dollar is stronger then the US one at the moment ....

I've written to my friendly BMW Dealer, perhaps he can find out or may already know. If I hear back I shall let you know.

Cheers,

Rolf-Dieter

I would have done Moonstone with platinum

o well

[-=Hot|Ice=-]

Yes! Worth the wait!

Now all we need is a breakdown of all the packages available.

[silent06]

Is it possible to post an 2012 invoice pricing sheet like the one Esquire posted for MY2011?

[Mako]

Wow $59,900 base price now, whats the next gen going to be? $65K? $80K fully loaded, what a M5 was 5-6 years ago...

So Glad I bought my C63 in 2009 for $54K brand new (fully loaded, $67K sticker) Mercedes was giving insane rebates because of the economy (only reason I picked it over the M3). I can't imagine paying $70K for my car or an M3 right now. They are nice (dad has an M3 Coupe) but not worth $70K, maybe its time to go to the M2
