I think $46-$47k is a tad low. If i had to guess Id say closer to $50k. At the end of the day the M badge carries prestige and thus will carry a higher price tag which we all of course realize. To be honest at the end of the day I dont want it to be too inexpensive , exclusivety isnt a bad thing IMO .... I also realize that this is BMW's way of grabbing a younger audience with an "entry level" M car. IMO though there is nothing entry level about the M badge but you all know what I mean ...
