BMWUSA.com showing new MSRP for M3-- MY2011 prices or more increases to come?

[kpao]

As an E93 March ED customer and long-time lurker on these boards, I've been waiting with some interest for the official MY2011 price list to surface here (or for my dealer to send it to me). My wish hasn't exactly been granted yet, but I noticed the "build your own" feature on bmwusa.com just changed their published MSRP figures. Compared to the 2010 price sheet (and what was on the "build your own" site until last week):

http://www.bmwusa.com/standard/content/byo/default.aspx

Item | Old | New | Difference (USD)
-------------------------------
E90 Base | 54850 | 55400 | +550
E92 Base | 57850 | 58400 | +550
E93 Base | 66500 | 67050 | +550
Destination & Handling | 825 | 875 | +50

All options & packages appear unchanged, based on my quick glance.

So do we think these are the official MY2011 prices for the March production cars, or are there more to come? If the former (hoping so), it looks like a relatively modest increase (< 1% on a relatively well-optioned E93).

Anybody get official 2011 price confirmation from their dealer?

And it is worth pointing out that the site still calls it a "2010 M3", just with a freshly juiced MSRP.

That's the less than 1% increase announced some time ago for Jan 1, 2010... the rumor is that a full 4% increase is coming for MY2011 (March).

This is reflecting the announced Jan 1 price increase of 0.4% and the $50 bump in destination charge.

I think it can be reasonably assumed that the MY2011 introduction will come with an additional increase.

Ah, I guess I missed the announcement about the price increase, my bad. Hopefully the March increase won't be too outrageous.

This was actually one full percent increase, not the 0.4% like it was announced before. If they increase another 4% in March 2010, that would be another $2K.

4% more for the 2011? Sure thing with a 10% hp bump!

[besiktas]

The price changes probably reflect the $ vs EUR FX rate adjustments

[Templar]

I'll tell you, I am eagerly awaiting. My dealer is going to contact me once she has the info. I have my deposit sitting in the bank waiting until I can put it in for a MY2011...

Same here. Anxiously awaiting allocations for 2011 vert.
