I agree with you BUT, if it's true their only producing 2500 units, I would think they would have a slightly lower introductory price, such as $46k because they KNOW no one will be paying MSRP. Every dealer will charge $5k mark-up at least. Since this car is coming 2 years after the 135i, it can't have a long production cycle, knowing this, if they price it around 50k with very limited production, no one would actually be driving one for MSRP - so they most likely paid 53-55k, and if thats the case, why not haggle on a 2009 (or 2010 by the time the "M1" comes out) M3, and get it cheaper? I could be totally off, but I really think this car will be mid 40's if it's low production. Either way, all units will sell if it's limited, even if it's 50k, but I can't see BMW pricing this car that close to the 335is, and only 5-6k under the M3... 45k = 50k+ = |

If the $$ are too high, I will jump ship and get an M3.

Yes, I think so. I'd also like to know what car that's from.
Best regards, south

hopefully their "customization program" will lower the MSRP. like if you make the CF roof an option, it will keep costs down.
i dont understand how they can reel in more buyers by offering this car at a high price. it makes no sense. 1er is tiny and the ride is going to be "harsh" by soccer mom standards... in other words its a niche car, and if you give it a niche car price how does that make the M series more accessible to the "regular buyer"? just because its less expensive than a M3 or M5??? |

The M1 (E82) looks very much like M3 (E46): I6, RWD, same weight if not lighter, same power if not more, same chassis if not better. The only diference is FI. It looks like a better M3 (E46). Can't wait for the limited version M1 CSL (E82), could be a better M3 CSL (E46) and do the N-Ring in 7:40 min. Imagine this for a simple BMW 1 Series! |

$54,310 for E.D M3 or $50k for US "M1" Delivery..
Not a hard choice at all in my opinion... This is a bit off topic, but if you do E.D, and don't want to pick it up in Europe, can you have it go straight to the port? |

depends on how you want to interpret the whole "making the M series more accessible" thing. if they just mean making a 1M thats obviously less expensive than a M3 then ok... or they could give you a real performance value on a small car with an aging chassis that most people wouldnt buy due to size alone....
