You know guys... when I went to BMW's Welt and took pics of the 1M on display there over a month ago - I asked the BMW people there what the price would be. They all thought that the 1M would be around 70K euros. Remember a e90 M3 sells for close to 100k euros over here!
When I told the people there at the Welt that the rumors on the forums had a low to mid $40-$45K base price they were all shocked. They did not think a car like this would sell for so little money.
Lets just wait a little bit longer and see what BMW says @Detriot. Perhaps they are watching and reading what we think - right here on this forum!
