Unfortunately I think the car will base at 65 or so which certainly invites the comparision.

The comparison from my perspective goes like this: The Porsche 911 is a great car but not very practical for me (I need more than a two seater). The M3 is also a great car but not in the same league as the 911, IMO (especially if next year's 911 is enhanced without a significant increase in price). So, if the M3 ends up pricing out comparably to the C2, for example, I would have to look at other options - IMO, the price value would not be there for the M3; The same goes for the other cars mentioned like the RS4 and C63. My alternative would be to purchase a less performance oriented car but still a great all around daily driver like the 335i for around $50K, or maybe even the S4. Can't beat the looks, handling and performance of these cars for $50k.
