Not to afraid you, there is a big gap between the E92 M3, and the E46.
Expect at least 15 / 20% increase in the price (not even taking into account the big decrease in the USD / EUR x-rate)
"MSRP" is the Manufacturer's Sugested Retail Price. In the case of the M3, it is BMW's suggested price without any taxes or fees, of the vehicle and any options. This price is stated in a window sticker, mandated by law.

In the USA, taxes vary by state and fees vary by dealer and location.

If past history is to be trusted, the USA market pricing for BMW's has never followed the rest of the world, as models here have been constantly and considerably cheaper than equivalent models overseas.

Regardless, the M3 that we will see here could be easily considered a stripper, as no leather, Nav system or Top HiFi system will be standard. This also could contribute in keeping any MSRP increase within market limits.
