Well, of course, but I'm just making a point that this car has become pretty pricey.
Feels like they're offering more options- not making the car materially more expensive. If BMW had purposeful de-contented the car, raised the base price and made heated seats and NAV expensive options, you'd have a point. But they didn't.

Also- The comparison to Porsche isn't exactly fair as you'd have to tick a few boxes to get a car with many of the now standard features on the M.
