RUMOR: Does THIS Sound Too Good To Be True? BMW M3 Pricing To Start In The LOW $60K Area

According to our friends over at Bimmerfest, they've got the right pricing scoop on the all-new BMW M3 and M4 that stormed the 2014 Detroit Auto Show floor this year. Remember, this car represents a big shift in BMW's performance brand as has a throwback focus to shaving weight, going back to a six-cylinder powerplant and will exclusively use a drivetrain sending power to the rear.

As of now, the base 435i coupe starts at $46,000 according to BMWUSA.

With a bunch more power and plenty of technology working on its side, it seems pretty realistic that BMWNA would set the price the M cars at about a $15,000-$20,000 premium. Remember, the base cars will not come with carbon ceramic brakes and a whole set of kit.

I think it's safe to say many of these M3 and M4 models will be had for nearly $80,000.

That said, I wanted to pose the question to you: does a $62,000 base price for the M3 and a $64,200 base price for the M4 seem realistic or is merely another rumor bubbling to the surface?

What say you, Spies?
