I still dont understand this. The M3 starts at 60k before options. The M1/1M is likely to start at 49-50k before options. My point is most buying a 50k+ car make over $50,000. I would hope the majority of this car's buyers don't feel like they're reaching to buy an option like a quad or similar. Its pretty ridiculous. Its a depreciating asset. Dont forget that in reality a car that starts off at 50k is likely 53k after tax, tag, title, etc.
