Default BMW M3 Pricing Leaked (Closed - 10 month old dated article)

2007/2008 BMW M3 (E92) pricing leaked?

Multiple BMW chat forums and Leftlane readers are reporting that BMW North America has given dealers preliminary pricing details for the 2007 BMW M3 coupe. The car is expected to make its official debut before the end of the year — possibly at the Paris Motor Show in September. If the data is to be believed, it would position the M3 about $10,000 above the new 335i coupe. Base U.S. price is listed at $53,975 with a carbon fiber roof, 18" wheels, and adaptive headlights as standard equipment. Purchasers will be able to chose between a SMG III and six-speed manual transmissions, with neither costing more than the other. While LLN can not independently verify this information, one possible reason for its early release to dealers could be in order to enable pre-orders for what is sure to be a hot-seller. [see also: recent spy shot gallery]. See the full pricing sheet after the jump…

Those prices sound almost too good to be true! Seems like the outgoing E46 M3 was more expensive than that...

I think IS-F will be more expensive than that, in fact I hope it will be. Current M3's are dollar a bucket around here, I'd rather see the IS-F being more exclusive.

probably fake, anyone can just throw up some numbers and say hey these were leaked

even if these are true, it doesnt include the option loading that all dealers will do and "market adjustment fee" Base price is irrelevant

Dealer Markup not included, it'll probably run around 10k to 15k depending on how strong the demand will be for the M3.

Umm a 335 is $40k base. $14k cheaper. With options I want the M3 will cost $64k, sounds right to me.
