Actually, it's not flawed.
The price of a loaded 335 is roughly 49k. The M3 has 116 extra hp, different suspension, etc.
I would say that gives the M3 roughly a $7k premium for all the extra features it has over the 335.
Bringing in the base MSRP around 56k. Add taxes($4k) and options($5-8k)and you're still looking at right under/over $70k.
