More E92 M3 MSRP Speculation...$60,750???
I know this has been discussed and covered, but the wait has been so long that I thought I'd bring this topic back up. I just did some numbers converting UK and US pricing for current cars.
I SUBMIT MY ESTIMATE IN THE US FOR THE E92 M3 AT $60,750 MSRP. OR 20% MORE. M6 Coupe £83,545 MSRP vs. $99,300 MSRP =15,755 or 18.858% more ---------------------------------- M5 Sedan £65,145 MSRP vs. $82,900 MSRP =17,755 or 27.254% more ---------------------------------- 550i Sedan £45,745 MSRP vs. $58,800 MSRP =13,055 or 28.538% more ---------------------------------- 335i Coupe £34,085 MSRP vs. $40,800 MSRP =6,715 or 19.7% more ---------------------------------- Z4 M Coupe £42,245 MSRP vs. $50,100 MSRP =7,855 or 18.593% more ---------------------------------- X5 4.8SE £50,505 MSRP vs. $54,500 MSRP =3,995 or 7.91% more ---------------------------------- After looking at these numbers, we should keep in mind some basic facts. 1. The M3 Coupe currently cost £50,625 in the UK 2. The Audi RS4 cost £50,675 in the UK and $66,910 in the US Any comments or bets, what say you????

Keep in mind the M3 comes with a bunch of stuff in the UK that won't be standard in the US. Sounds like they are shipping a fairly bare bones car here with cloth seats and all. With that, I've lowered my expectation a bit down to the $57k-$59k range.

Well if the new M3 is stripped of pretty much all options, unlike the RS4, then I guess it would be sub $60k.
After getting the leather, wheels, and basic interior components, $60k range is where it's going to be. |

Interesting way, let's try with German prices:
M6 Coupe: € 113,500 $ 99,300 = 87.5% M5 Sedan: € 92,500 $ 82,900 = 89.7% Z4 M Coupe: € 57,900 $ 50,100 = 86.5% 335 Coupe: € 45,000 $ 40,800 = 90.7% Following that the M3 (€ 66,650) will come in between $ 57,625 (86.5%) and $ 60,450 (90.7%)! This way your prediction were right also... Best regards, south |

Besides, there will be twice as many M3's sold in the US than the RS4.. Supply and Demand I am still confident in my sub 57K MSRP Adjust those estimates to account for a much greater supply of M3's in the US and I think you come up with an even better number. Jason

Interesting, this is a good fact to add. I hope you're right with the outcome.

You're absolutely right, it might even be 72k fully equiped but not everyone is going to max it out with options. Not everyone can afford to do that. Some that can just afford the M3 will sacrifice many of those options just so they can enjoy owning a new M3 without nav, 19"wheels, leather seats etc. Even $63 - $65k is an amazing price out the door for what you're getting.

My Military Sales rep is very confident in their estimate of under 57K. My guess was correct that the US will get a very stripped down version of the M3. I am thinking somewhere around 56K. With the ZTP option the M3 comes in at 60K and if you add 19"s you are looking at the low 60's. Exactly where you would expect an RS4 rival to be that is made in greater numbers. Jason

Depends
Depends on if you define premium as premium based on a foreign currency or premium based on M model vs. top non M model price (both USD prices). For the Z4 the US premium is 24%. If the M3 comes in at $57k that premium over the 335i in the US would be 40%.
