Good US price analysis/estimate
A fellow over at M3forum did a nice price analysis to predict the new M3 base price. Have a look here.
His conclusion look pretty solid to me and the range he determined is $57,250 to $59,950, which is right in line with the number most folks here have been guessing of high 50s. My bet is still for <$60k USD base. |

the math seems sound. if for nothing else, i believe that bmw will stay under the 60k mark for psychological reasons. a 59k car sounds much more reasonable in the mind of a buyer than a 60k car.

Yeah I saw that post over at M3zine.com. He had a good break down and used a similar formula that I used in comparing the Euro to USD Audi RS4 pricing.
Keeping my fingers crossed that it comes in under $60K.

I would love for this estimate to be true, as long as significant performance enhancments are included in the US base.
Features such as EDC, M-driver, etc.

I think it will base at $55K with no power seats and possibly no leather. The base curb weight is 3483 lbs, so I'd guess they achieved that without the weight of power seats.
Also, based upon what other members are saying about M5s not selling and depreciating rapidly, I think this car was overpriced. They don't want to make this same mistake with the M3. And considering how fast and tuneable the 335i is, they have to be careful not to price the M3 too much higher than a 335i otherwise some buyers may opt for the cheaper car and use the saved $$ to modify it to M3 levels for less $$. Also, all the car mags are stay $54K ish.

Car mags and online rags have been quoting all over the map from 50-65k base. I don't think they know $hit, quite frankly. Last edited by swamp2; 04-09-2007 at 08:55 AM.. |

Agree.
I'm thinking that the MSRP will be about $58K. Figure most of the popular options will be pushing $5-10K when all is said and done, I'm thinking most spec'd out M3's will run $64-68K.

$60k or less with memory seats and DSG is the upper limit of what I can swing. I need to convince the wife which is why I need the options above so that she'd be able to drive it as well
