This is the same guy that that told Car and Driver magazine that if they were to offer a Euro-Spec M Roadster/M Coupe(near the same price of an M3) in the United States, the car would cost well over 60,000 U.S dollars. I believe the article was written sometime last year or late 1998. What has change between now and than that the cost has dropped approximately 15k? Sorry, but I'm not believing any price estimates until i see the price on the window sticker.
