Now the difference between an E92 Coupe and a Convertible is around $8,000 (and in the 335i the leather is standard, so the difference is actually around $6500) and that is with a folding hard top, which used to be a $2000 option. Even in the 6 Series the difference is around $7000.

So I don't see from where you are coming with "Verts have always been $10K more", much less that the E9x M3 will be close to $70K base...
I am also

I just check BMWUSA and the 335 coupe is $40K and the Vert in $50K.

As for the E46 Vert and coupe it has always been around $10K difference. The folding hardtop was never an option on the E46. You could a regular hard top, but it was never folding. They were only offered with folding soft tops.

This kind of a stupid thing to be arguing about, and is kind of off base to the original topic.... I guess we'll all see when prices are published.

In my opinion if you think that the E92 M3 is going to be in the $50K range you're diluted, and have one hell of a shock coming...
