Also imagine if the coupe started at 70K, than that means the vert will probably be close to 80K. Again add some options on the vert and you are looking at a 90K M3 vert. No one would be insane enought to send 90K for a M3 |

I still believe the msrp will be around $55k. It's good if they keep the price low since there're many cheaper Japanese competitors such as Lexus and Infinity. BWM'd better think wisely. If the M3 price's over $60k, I'll look for the alternatives.

you guys in the US should think yourselves lucky.
The price in the UK in £50,625+options which at current exchange rates is over $100,000 USD what a fucking piss take

We pay the sh.t out of expensive health care and insurance craps. Also, the number of cars sold in the States may be more than the whole Europe combined. Therefore, the cars' prices would better be cheap here.

There is another side to this discussion. In some markets where the price has been announced, it sems to fall in just below the Audi RS4 which is the US rolls out at $66k.

Just completed my order for an 08 M3 through Military sales. They gave me an estimate of $57K US total with the options I want and including gas guzzler tax and shipment to the states. I didnt go crazy with options just wheels, sirius, and nav. They are estimating a base price of around 55K-57K and offering a base price of 49K to deployed military members.
I think most of you can rest easy that the base price will be in the mid 50's. Car and Driver as well as a few other reputable magazines are starting to make the same estimates. Jason

Well, options lists for the US are obviously not available yet so I didnt put much effort into choosing options at this point. Military sales said when the official options list and pricing is out then I can "refine" my order. I chose to have my car delivered to San Diego BMW. Basically, at this point, I have placed a 3K deposite for an early allocation but the VIN# and exact lay out of the car has not been decided. They told me that I am up for an estimated delivery date of April 30th. They wouldnt let me order the M-DCT since they dont know build dates for the M-DCT versions, so right now I am in line for a 6spd. I am still very much on the fence about my tranny choice. If I went with the M-DCT I was told I would most likely have to wait for a June/July delivery. But I think that was just guessing.....
They did tell me that BMW is going to limit early production numbers just like they did with the M5. From what they told me it sounds like only those that are number 1 or 2 on their dealers lists will get an 08 model. Even Military Sales will have limited allocations which is unusual since Military sales is basically ordering direct from the factory. I think the concern for those of you that really want an 08 shouldnt be price but rather allocation numbers. Jason

I'm assuming ~$58k + $8-10k in options. Anything under $70k I'm comfortable, considering my '01 was almost $54k. Even $70k would only be a 4%/yr. average increase since 2001.

No orders placed yet
JEllis thanks for correcting your post. You put down a deposit for a purchase/delivery of an M3 on an estimated date. I have done the same. There are no firm dates, no price lists, nothing available through MSP. If there was, you could simply post it. My order form had "TBD" (To Be Determined) in all the options and pricing blanks just like yours.

Anybody know if leather is going to come standard, or be an option like in the other 3-series? It really chapped my ass that my 335 had a base MSRP of $40 grand and didn't even come with leather standard. For $55K+, the M had damn well better have leather.
