Option pricing predictions
Quote:
- Leather, $1,450; Ger. price $2,664 (std. in SA) - Extended leather, $2,175; avg. Ger. + SA price $4,100 - EDC, $1,200; avg. Ger. + SA price $2,470 - MDrive; Ger. price $625 (SA only in MDynamic pkg.) - Navigation (pro), $2,100; avg. Ger. + SA price $3,360 - High End Audio, $700; avg. Ger. + SA price $2,340 I know it is not reliable to do a direct conversion, but looking at these I think the price for the Technology package may be quite a bit higher than you guess. Also the Premium package. I note that adaptive headlights are standard in the US (good).

*Any updated <estimate> prices were established using, what appears to be, a reasonably common conversion price of around ~82% of EUR (calc when we know a US price). I know its flawed, but with these few options we're guessing at, it provides the best guess right now. - EDC will probably be a little higher. Calc. = $1575 US <updated>* - MDrive will definitely carry a price. Calc. = $425 US <updated>* - Technology Package - thats gunna be an expensive bugger! Guessing 10% package disc. <updated>* - 19" wheels calc. out correctly at about $1550 (v. original est. of $1500) - so very close. <updated>* - Navigation I would think, should be consistent with other 3-series NAV US pricing. - Premium Package should be consistent with the 335i US pricing as well, unless the leather and trim materials are a higher quality, as it is an otherwise identical package. - Enhanced Premium Sound (752) price came directly from the M5 & M6 option price on BMWUSA. What's interesting is, the German M3/M5/M6 price is 2100,00 EUR - but on USA site (M5/M6), its still $700 US. Perhaps the German base stereo isn't getting something the US base system gets, making their upgrade more expensive? <unchanged> . |

Good try but do your research. I would expand but alas this isn't a Toyota board.

REP you should revise some things for the US market as Pkg Only etc. Enhanced Audio is only available as part of the ZTP or with Nav, so $700 really doesn't apply. Just my 2 cents...good exercise though...

Anyone know what happened to the heads up display option? I opted for it when I put my deposit in with military sales. Of course I also opted for logic 7 for $1200.

Does anyone know the difference between 4BZ Titanium trim and 771 Titanium shadow trim and why both are standard? Most BMWs I've seen only have two trims specified - interior and exterior. I know that 760 Shadowline trim is the exterior trim. So why are there two others listed?

Just because it is standard in the 335i doesn't mean that Logic 7 will be standard in the M3. HK was not standard in the E46 M3, so I would not be surprised if the E92 doesn't have it either.
AFAIK, HiFi is the regular analog 10 Speaker system. The mere fact that the Enhanced audio system option is required when the Navigation option is chosen tells me that that Enhanced option is the Logic 7 (Top HiFi, digital), not the HiFi... |

As far as I understand, Enhanced audio does not come with ZTP. I think you can add the enhanced audio only if you add ZTP or Nav.

Even now, it said on the letter sent to the dealers that all standard equipment will be similar to the 3 series coupe.

It is then confusing of BMW the use now of "HiFi" to define Logic 7, when it is Top HiFi in their own technical documents. Another way of looking at this is that, if BMW is trying to increase sales of this M3, forcing another $700-$1200 extra on top of the Technology package price when Logic 7 is supposed to be standard, then it doesn't make any marketing or technical sense (to me) to do so: iDrive in this M3 could be as high as $5000...

Cheapest Possible M3
So the cheapest possible M3 is White or Black
with the cloth seats and obviously no options. I think that would still be a nice car. I would be surprised if they let you choose sycamore interior trim for no extra money. Would it be cheaper to pick it up at the performance center? I wonder if that would avoid delivery charges. |

Metallic Paint
Metallic paint is free of charge for the M5. It might or might not be free of charge for the M3. Keep in mind there is nothing official about any of the US pricing we have been kicking around on this thread or forum...

Lucid, do you know if Metallic paint was also no extra cost for the E39 M5 or was that a new thing for the E60 M5? I ask because as far as I know Metallic paint has always been extra for the M3.
