Just a real bad guess at what pricing might look like

MarcusDubya77 · 06-09-2010, 12:28 AM

So I was bored at work and went on to BMW NA's website and fooled around a bit.
A base M3 coupe MSRP's at 58400, so I built a 335i coupe (minus automatic, and metallic color) with packages and accessories until I brought it to 50 dollars over a base M3.
I then applied applied the same packages to a base 135i coupe and came up with....$47099.
Probably not a good method, but sure would be a tempting its around my predicted price.

Your thoughts?

Dump that Subie and pick up the Bimmer. I am!

ben14142001 · 06-09-2010, 12:45 AM

Honestly, that's where I was expecting it to be. Seems very much in the ballpark.

So pices in Germany:

40.100 €__________BMW 135i (E82)

46.150 €__________BMW 335i (E92)

68.350 €__________BMW M3 (E92)

M3 costs 22.200 € more than 335i
Add 20.000 € to price of 135i and M1 will cost 60.100 €. So no way it will cost that much.

I think ad ~10.000 €.

49.000 € to 52.000 € for BMW M1 (E82) in Germany.

treehacker · 06-09-2010, 04:46 AM

I configured an 135i with all extras I wanted and came up with a European Price of 58.000,-€. So I think, the M1 with the same options will be arround 65.000€ - 70.000€

BForbes · 06-09-2010, 02:52 PM

We can only hope.

MarcusDubya77 · 06-09-2010, 06:12 PM

I would add another 10K to my guess price of an M1 with all the options I want, but this is a rough guess at what a bone stock M1 might be, given any indicator from pricing out a 335i to match a bone stock M3, and then applying same packages and options to a 135i.

zbladejr · 06-10-2010, 06:40 AM

US pricing - Base price for 1M.....$49,300. There - now what do I win if I'm right

JimmyT · 06-10-2010, 07:15 AM

a cookie??? I'm gonna WAG a 47K base price and 52-55K with a few options.... but it's just a WAG!

ChrisK · 06-10-2010, 07:25 AM

Didn't Scott say it would be approx $10k more than the 135i?

dmboone25 · 06-10-2010, 08:40 AM

He said 10K more Euros, not Dollars....

So, we are left to speculate how it will arrive here, since there is never a straight conversion....

dmboone25 · 06-10-2010, 08:42 AM

Some other folks have used the M price premium in the 3,5, and 6 series to get a "baseline" so to speak, of what we could expect the 1M to command price-wise....

I think that is a great method...it has been posted a few times with actual numbers.....

Good news for us is the Euro is down: 1.2 US$ = 1 Euro

That's "cheap", I'm expecting a price between 60 and 70k here. Close to 70k € I think if not more. E92 M3 is over 112k € here

michifan · 07-01-2010, 04:13 PM

Loaded to be about $55K. About $5K more than the Convert.

I agree because I used the same method - ratios of US 335 and M3 prices to get the 1M price.

Also, you could just add the raw premium for the M3 vs. 335, which gives you a base price of about $52 for the 1M - which is possible.

If the 1M has the M3 carbon fiber roof, aero mirrors, brand new engine (not tuned N54) it will have a starting price around $52K, which will be very surprising to some people on this forum that are guessing 45K or 46K. That is dreaming - the e46 m3 was more expensive than that

And if the 1M is small production as BMW suggests, the dealer premiums for this car will push it closer to the price of the M3 causing people to complain about the price even more.

I am not saying the 1M would not be worth it at that price, just less of a bargain as many people are making it out to be.

Quick1 TO BE · 07-19-2010, 12:30 PM

it will be a shame if its more then 43k base.. specially when they are "speculating" a tuned N54 motor will be under thehood...

The E36 M3 was not that expensive, at least in the US. The MSRP was under 40K. I recall the base price being around 37-38K for an E36 M3.

oztiks · 07-19-2010, 02:18 PM

= 46,400 $ U.S Start.

I'll pick up a low mileage used one , a few years down the road, when you early adopters have moved on to the next hot thing

Not mine - you'll have to pry it from my dead hands in 40-50 years.
