When a sporty car starts off at X, it will cost X plus a minimal amount of money for me. Not because I can't afford it but I dont need 20 speakers, or the extra leather package. This M will come with enough things standard to keep me happy(M seats, LSD, power, xenons, carbon fiber roof, etc.) I mean, really. I could understand those that want to choose their own specific transmission of choice.

M Boss said it would be more tangible, not cheap. 47-48k instead of 58k is definitely more tangible. 60k for a car is a lot for most people. I can almost guarantee pricing will start with the number 4. If not, BMW will have to be giving these away. People aren't that stupid.
True, but stuff like M-drive isnt standard..i think that is something worth springing for. This car would be my daily driver, so i need navi (if anything..for the traffic alerts) and a good stereo would be nice. I dont have the time or patience to look for an aftermarket sound system and have it installed, etc. I dont have the luxury of having two cars, at least for now. I wanted an M3, but the price of admission is way too much. Why not go for the 1M loaded up at least somewhat. Give me DCT, M-drive, Navi, Logic 7 sound...and a Convienence Package like whats on the 2011 3 series..and im set.
