That price is alot less than what I was looking for. Im sure with an option here and option there it will be well into the $60's.

MrSilver · 08-17-2006, 12:48 PM

As I predicted around 65K for a e92 M3 with options.

If those prices are accurate, an M3 with the options of my 330 would be in the low $60k's. Actually, thats not too bad considering that the E46 M3 I almost ordered was going to cost about $55k without navigation (which I included when calculating the E90/92 M3).

The price is VERY tempting, but 400+ hp is a bit much for a daily driver. I don't even get to use my current 255hp. But for a weekend car, that would be GREAT. But I promised myself that my first "weekend" car will be a Porsche.

weird that a US-spec car wouldn't have the power and torque output quoted in horse power and lbs-ft.

also, thought the m3 would come with 19's stock since the 330i and 335i come with 18's.

toolfan · 08-17-2006, 02:04 PM

But for now, I am more interested in the final design pictures than the price!

bmwexecutive · 08-17-2006, 02:26 PM

Damn I was close! I predicted mine would MSRP at $64,800 and it comes out to $64,145.

Really? I've been getting 14.5MPG lately.

I could definetely use the extra horses to pass people in one-lane each-way streets. My 330i just doesn't have the power to pass in some spots when I want to.

EnI · 08-17-2006, 03:41 PM

Yeah sure!

The car is still in development. In latest FEP phases.

Still ... Have you ever seen pricing list being out before the car even being announced? Or worse: when still being in development ...

I wouldn't bite ...

The engine specs are from Ricardo 'New engines News' "magazine" where they publish a list of "reports" about the engines in development by specific car manufacturer. It's just a prediction. They also "predicted" BMW 3.6L I6 NA coming in 2006 ... Sounds familiar?

You can buy that "magazine" at Ricardo e-store. Price: "only" $305.

Hans Delbruck · 08-17-2006, 03:42 PM

Wow, that's quite a bit less than I expected, if true. Does this mean the car is much closer to launch than we thought?

The only problem is -- SMG!!!!!!!!

Where is the trick new transmission a la DSG????

My guess is somewhere in between. I think an MSRP of $53,900 would be about spot on with a nicely optioned model coming in around $60,000.

Well it looks like I hit the nail right on the head if these prices prove to be the real deal.

What do I win?

thedean786 · 08-17-2006, 03:56 PM
