I hope that's true but I don't think it's going to happen. A loaded 335i is in the upper 40K range, and the M3 is going to have a V8 under the hood. While the closest competitor, the RS4, is in the upper $60K and the speculating Skyline GT-R in the 70s range, plus the weak dollar (against Euro), $55K sounds low.

The V8 will not cost BMW any more than the 335 turbo engine.

4.9 sec? thats kinda slow for a M3 coupe if you ask me. My rx-7 will kill that thing stock, cost 75% less, same curb side apeel IMO. Not worth 70k for a loaded vert, I think its ugly as crap. I would rather a used e46 vert even if I had 70k to drop on one.

Euro times are 0-62 and estimates are always very conservative.
I think the new 3 coupe is pretty bland and its not pretty but I won't say its ugly. There is a guy with a 328 at work, I think 17" wheels no sport kit and it has no presence whatsover.
I do like the E46/E36 a lot though and find the E46 M3 to be pretty much perfect from a styling standpoint.

I suspect the M3 will be marketed at 4.6 seconds and get close to 4.0 seconds 0-60.

Seriously though, the wheel wells and fender cuts on the e92 are mammoth, even 19's look small in 'em.

Rear looks pretty horrible from the pics. I'd like to see this thing in real world, but unlike other cars, bangled up bimmers look better on photos.
That being said, I really like the 335 coupe and considering buying one.

honestly i am really not sure about 70k for a car of this class. i mean it's fast and everything, no deny on that. but that's still based on the 3 series. to me that's just very expensive
