Then the E36 M3 with the US spec motor was very sensible, I think $39k base price when first introduced, but the 1994 Canadian spec with the Euro-spec version was C$ 60k. Then the E46 M3 came with the exotic engine and was a pretty stiff $47k in 2001.

So all M3's with the M-only motors have been expensive. Very expensive.

And the current M3 is not $58k, it's $55k (like mine).
Yup at 3% inflation compounded, the new base price for M3 should be 61k
