$7000 was about the jump from a 328i to a 335i. $9000 is about the jump you make when you go from an A4 to an S4.

The M3 engine is being made on a regular 3 series assembly line, nor is it being built primarily by hand. This is actually true of the GT3 engine also - Porsche has added lots of automation to the process. The cost should no longer be $25k-$30k for the engine.
