Those who are whining that 70,000 Euro = over $90,000 USD, should read on.
Take a deep breath. You can't do a direct price conversion of Euro to USD from that 70,000 Euro price tag.
It will be priced slightly higher than the E92's base price.
This simple equation between the US and Euro price of the E93 M3 should help decipher what that 70,000 Euro price translates to for the US market.
68,750/75,900 = X/70,000
Solve for X.
X = $63,405.80
SNIG's base price estimate for the M4 Coupe is $63,500.
SNIG's base price estimate for the M3 Sedan is $60,500. Slightly higher than the E92 M3 Base Price.
Remember, the F30/F32 platform has wayyyyyy more crazy options than the E90/E92 M3s. So expect fully loaded M3/M4s to push close to $80k USD.
Let's take a look at E90/E92 Pricing.
At the peak of production the 2011 M3 Sedan was $3k less than the Coupe.
Currently, there is a price difference of $2800 between the 2013 335i and 435i. The 328i and 428i, a difference of $3400.
An average difference of $3100. So I think it is safe to estimate a similar $3000 base price difference between the M3 and the M4. |
