The M brand goes up to over $110k. I don't think this is "their" chance to move the brand up. It is already there.

Given the E92's suggested performance and quality, I would think they should charge a starting price of $68,000. Although i can't afford it at that price, i think that's what they should charge for it...

For a base price of $68k, I would definitely be inclined to look elsewhere. The main advance over the last generation is the engine. A base of $54-55 is reasonable, and likely.

That's like buying a house and telling the seller that you liked the house so much that you're going to pay him $10,000 more than he asked, because that's what you think it's worth..... I wouldn't want you in charge of my finances!

Hahahaha...well i'm just stating my opinion. Personally for that price, i wouldn't consider a porsche a superior car which is what it is up against. What else is there to consider besides an RS4 which im sure will be out performed??

I don't understand the logic. At the moment the RS4 is clearly the best vehicle in the class. If the new M3 matches or exceeds that level then there is little reason to believe it couldn't be priced similarly. BMW must know this. |

I have had a deposit on an M3 since 9/05, but the higher the msrp on the M3, the more inclined I am to look at a 2006 M5. By the time the M3 comes out, the M5 will probably be offered at BMW dealerships as a Certified Pre Owned w/ warranty to 100k miles. I do not care about the manual 6 sp transmission(technology has overtaken true manual trans.) . I have driven the SMG in the M5 and it wouldn't bother me a bit to have that car even though I think the M3 will be much more of a head turner. Plus, the two rear doors will help get my boys out of the car a little easier.

Proportional to M5??
Isn't it logical to believe the E92 M3 base price increase over the E46 (percentage), will be similar/close to the increase of the E60 M5 price over the E39? There IS a similar level of improvement between the two over their previous generations, no? (overall performance, motor, exterior features, suspension, wheels, interior pieces, computer tech (and the M5 GOT the hot new transmission at the time, the M3 isn't going to, initially)
Isn't it reasonable to think? Original Retail Price (MSRP) 03' BMW M5 : $70,400 06' BMW M5 : $81,200 .... = 15.34% increase 06' BMW M3 : $48,900 08' BMW M3 : $56,401 [estimate - ($48,900 x 1.1534)] I'm on record to say base price will be less than $57,000.

That is how i feel although i think a direct competitor to the M3 is the 911 or C class AMG.

Well thank GOD you don't work for BMW . I'll be willing to bet just about anything that it will not have an MSRP of $68K. In fact I'd guess that most well equipped M3's will come out to around or less than $68K.

I just talked to Bellevue BMW dealer today about the deposit for the M3. He told me there is no such a thing. He also told me that is pointless to do that, caz it dont mean anything for place a deposit. And they will not accept any. Their service is always suck. I have purchased my E90 from them.

When will the car be available in the US? I asked my dealer and they didn't know, but they thought the car would price in the high 60's w/options.

Nobody knows yet, though the consensus is that it will be in the states in early '08 and have an MSRP of somewhere in the mid to high $50K range.
