If the base price is 80k and you put about 12k worth of options (not including CCB) then the M4 will be at the base price of an M5 and once CCB are added it would be well into M5 territory. What are everyone's thoughts on this?

The E60 M5 started around $87K, F10 starts around $90K. E63 M6 started around $106K, and the F12 starts at $109K. Basically a $3-4K increase for base models.
I think the price increase between E9X, and F8X will definitely be less than $10k for sure. Maybe $5-7K is realistic??

Thank you to RMB for the kind words. I have no idea what this thing is gonna cost but remember it's supposed to have a lot of carbon fiber and "extensive use of lightweight materials." I believe that's the exact quote. I don't see ANY way it comes in priced significantly under $80k. Which coincidentally would place it in old 997 C2s pricing territory I believe. A car (the 997) BMW would LOVE for this new M3/4 to be better than in every way. It also HAS to be mentioned in the same breath of the (991) 911. I just don't know how you would do ALL this for $70k. But again if anybody can do it, it's BMW...
We shall soon see and am extremely intrigued.
