the big thing that bothers me about the M3/M4 is its too bland, it will still blend in with all the 3 and 4 series out there. $75k to still look like all the 328/428, no thanks. RCF stands out and stands out hard, something a 75k car should. When they started putting the M Sport package on the E92 3, the front bumper almost looks like a E92 M3 and Ive thought Ive seen a M3 many times but it wasnt. Not something I want after spending this kinda cash. RCF will turn heads, because theres nothing out there like it.

Im pretty sure the RCF will not be that much different.
Same as M4 compared to 435i Msport.
Not sure about ur point.

I do feel the RCF looks much better than M4.
But that is subjective.
Whats not subjective is the marketing power of the //M brand.
Just compare the forum activity here to the M4 forums.
Lexus has to build the F brand for enthusiasts to aspire to it and the general public will buy the cars just for the F badge!

The RC350 is a car that stands out in itself- the F sport version will be even more agressive looking.
So ppl that are not in the know can and will mix up the Fsport version with the real F.... Just like 435i Msport doesnt look different to general public.
If i showed it to my wife - she would be hard pressed to tell a diff between M4 and Msport version.

any M3 with decent options will be well north of 70k, are they still charging for leather, $500 paint and HID on a $60k+ car? Do people really buy stripped down M cars? I'd rather buy a vette at that point.
CLA starts under $30k, until you find out its stripped down. Typical german nickel and diming. 335 M Sport optioned the same to my 3IS is $8k more. A 328 optioned the same still costs more.

The bottom line is that you have an option and can but the car for $62k and no need to pay extra $20k for unnessery stuff

64k + 550paint + 900 leather + 1300 wheels = 67k as Grand Total
HIDs are standard/ LEDs are 1900
If u dont go crazy - u can easily be under 70k
I built a C7 vette - u can go crazy and be at close to 80k
Go build a 911 - u can go nuts with options

In general, with its V8 and its different exterior, there is quite large difference between IS and RC, as well as RC and RC-F, compared to 3, 4 and M4.
People need to applaud BMW for doing more CF, but at the same time they really did not try very hard with exterior or interior design. Or the engine. There is a lot smaller difference there.
Lexus tried harder and spent more money to differentiate IS and RC, as well as RC-F.

An RC-F looks nothing like an IS250.

I'm afraid who's pricing the new IS F is here watching you ;-)
$70K ish range is the ideal price in my opinion. If it less then better :-)
