Considering the base 435i + MSport Pkg already breaks $50k, and without even trying, you can loaded it up past $60k, I believe there is very little chance that the M4 is going to start at $61k.

My guess:

M3 - starts at $63k with DCT standard (6MT N/C option) - well-optioned @ $77k
M4 - starts at $66k with DCT standard (6MT N/C option) - well-optioned @ $80k

This would represents about $6k increase (or 10%), but with DCT being standard (BMW has been offering Auto/DCT as standard on many new models), the real increase if you are optioning DCT is only 5%.

I also think full-loaded (e.g. ceramic brakes, extended leather, etc.) it's going to hit $90k.
Interesting point about DCT becoming standard and 6MT being a N/C option. That very well may be the case, but if that's true, I think your estimates are each at least $3k low, since that would represent a very modest price increase. will be interesting to see where the pricing comes in.
