I'm no domestic fan boy. I've owned imports my whole life. But if this 1M (which I've been waitin for) decides to come in at $45k or more. I'm out of the game to own one. I'll get a used M3 or a new mustang.

I might be making the jump to one of the domestics too....and this is after my last 6 cars have been German....
The car dealers are still hurting, and that means that there is room for negotiation...if BMW wants to build only 500 cars for North America, and the US market drives ///M sales, then someone in Germany isn't thinking too logically...
This sounds less and less like a truly entry level ///M car, and more like the marketing ploy many have been afraid of since the car became official....
No one at my dealer even knows this car will exist--wouldn't surprise me if I couldn't even get one....which means it will most likely not be worth the effort....guess I will likely pass as well...
