US M3 pricing sensitivity analysis
I put together a spreadsheet to explore the different pricing and options scenarios for myself. It looks like the range will be from $60k for a bare bones car to a $80k for an almost fully optioned car out the door under the best and worst case pricing predictions. Attached is the spreadsheet if you want to play with it yourself.
EDIT: Updated options pricing based on Davo's MIL sales info. Last edited by lucid; 11-21-2007 at 04:32 PM.. Reason: Added bare bones car per Jason's suggestion |

Well done....
This helps show why the M3 that doesnt come with leather or 19"'s standard is going to be well under 60K. Probably 57K. With these two options alone the new M3 is priced with its competition. Jason

Great job lucid. Just to encourage some discussion on the subject what are other guys guesses on the pricing for the DCT and the gas guzzler tax in the US. Thanks.

I think $2800-$3500 is a reasonable guess for M-DCT. lucid: Did you leave out gas guzzler tax on purpose? I don't think it will escape. What you do think? |

But Swamp, they've always offered the ///M without leather (..at least where the E46 is concerned), so why would it bother you now if they continued this theme? I am one of those individuals who would much rather have the speed cloth, but I do realize that I may be in the minority in relation to other forum members. I'd actually be more pissed off if BMW forced me to accept leather when I truly would rather do without it. |

Also, does someone have the exact option pricing for SMG on the 2006 M3? I think it was around $2800, but I am not sure. I can only assume DCT will be more than that. |

This doesn't result in even a rough estimate? Has anyone mapped multiple cars to see what happens? I understand the differences in the procedures will affect different cars differently, but there might be some kind of rough relationship.

The M3, given it comes with a CF roof which should cost more than a regular roof. So removing the CF roof should offset the cost of adding a sunroof to some degree. Not that I care since I'm not getting the sunroof.

I agree on all three accounts. I am not interested in a moonroof either. |
