let's hope that when bmwna PACKAGES options for us, some kind of a savings is offered.

I know, not eaxctly pleasant with state tax and a few nice options. I do think a lot of the options in this list will be std. in NA. Keep in mind the spreadsheet has the built in SA M5 base price conversion factor for options as well. I think the estimates in the spreadsheet for the options are probably all a bit high with this factor. Like others have posted many options seem quite a bit overpriced compared to what we expect.
There has been a lot of banter back and forth about pricing and how much more than the 335i it will be at. Clearly out the door, loaded, in a state with high tax it will be easy to get into the 70s. Still the only fair, apples to apples comparison with the 335i (or any other vehicle) is base price to base price. Obviously it is up to each buyer to skimp or go all out on options. If you do the latter it will clearly cost you handsomely. If you do the former perhaps you can afford a car you can't or can't stomach loaded. It'll still be an M3!
