I f BMW is going to offer a V-8 in the new M3, I wonder if a the 6 cylinder will still be an option.
I prefer the 6. I had a 540i and did not like the features I gave up (i.e. rack and pinion steering) to drive a big heavy motor down the street.
If I run the numbers right, to get a V-8 into this country with gas guzzler taxes on big motors, my guess this car would be starting at around 65k out the door, over 70k for the convertible.
