How much are you willing to pay in the US for the BASE M3 @ MSRP?
Above what base price (MSRP) will you NOT buy the new M3 in the US? Let's stick to the coupe pricing on this one. Assume the sedan will be slightly less...Keep in mind the base car doesn't have leather.

Base price almost determines the final price (we pretty much know what the options will cost within a few hundred dollars except for DCT). I think it is better to stick to that rather than the final price since it is the only common variable. |

I voted base above $65K but it's really hard to say.... price really isn't the limiting factor for me, and there is no other car in the price range that I'm considering.... BUT every $1000 more just makes it a little harder to open my wallet. I may still buy it even if it is outrageously expensive, but it will no longer be a "gotta have it now" decision, since I think the higher the price, the fewer the buyers, and the more we'll see on dealer lots... thus, bigger discounts.....
What i'm getting at is that after the initial "M3 or nothing" demand is met, the market will decide the price -- just like with the M5. If the base price comes out over $62K, I'm going to be very cautious..... |

Any base price above $65k would probably get me looking in other directions. The problem is that there are no other cars I would consider right now. The only other car is the GT3, and that is a substantial increase over the M3 and no sunroof delete option here.

I selected 70K but that is the MAXIMUM amount I'd be willing to pay for a fully loaded M3 with DCT - even as I write that and read it that number seems way too high, by about 10K.

68K to 70K max
I will only pay 68 to 70K maximum with all options included. more than that i will go for the 650i even though it is not in the same catagory. If the M3 reaches 80K with full options including DCT then it makes no sense not to consider the M5. You don't have to add any options to the M5, it comes with almost everything included in the base price (about 83k).

I have said it before and I will say it again. My estimate is 57K... This would put it in the realm of the RS4 and expected price of the C63 AMG considering the new M doesnt come with 19" or Leather stand, bringing the price up to 60K. With the aggresive planned sales volume, a stripped M3 costing 60K with only Leather and 19"s is plausible if not down right likely.
