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.
Please read my post carefully. I wrote that saying that the M3 would be priced similarly or equal to the C63 AMG simply because its the competition is flawed.

I dont think that comparing the premium is wrong but tricky considering the premium over the 335i for the M3 is different in different countries. Just using England or Germany for comparison is also flawed. Especially considering that the US allocation is more than double that of any other country. Supply and Demand will have a large effect for us here in the States.
