+1 !!! If I were BMW that's how I would think about pricing. This board is full of bmw aficionados, but there are those who have the $$$ and say, what sporty car can I buy w/ $X ($65 - $85k), and for most of these I believe the 911 has a lot more cachet and is far more blingy on Rodeo drive = worth a premium.
M3 is a great car - don't get me wrong - but to Joe Public a 911 speaks more iconically. To price too close to the 911 is overreaching, IMO.
