And considering how fast and tuneable the 335i is, they have to be careful not to price the M3 too much higher than a 335i otherwise some buyers may opt for the cheaper car and use the saved $$ to modify it to M3 levels for less $$.

Also, all the car mags are stay $54K ish.
I bet power seats are std. You can have a car like this without power seats.

Car mags and online rags have been quoting all over the map from 50-65k base. I don't think they know $hit, quite frankly.
