BMW is an international company and it abides by ISO standards!!! If you're not familiar, the 'I' in 'ISO' stands for International! There is no way in hell they would release a car with quality issues in certain countries and not to others.

MSRP is and will be $46K USD. How much dealers will charge is a whole different story.

I'm not on a waiting list for an E46 M3 yet (enjoying our E46 323Ci and 330Ci) but hearing such BS makes me step in put in my 2 cents worth.

For those waiting for the M3...Good luck! Hope you get it at least before next X-mas!

Happy New Year, everyone!


About a month ago, I told the board that the M3 would be SOP the first week in March. You might remember my post if you follow this board. I said you can check with rca, bruce and loki. I should not have said that and I am sorry. Many from this board have said "name your source, because we understand SOP was Feb".or "this guy is full of it". Hey, I don't like to bring the bad info but at least it is correct. I post only once, maybe twice a month if the info I have is worth posting. Well, I have current info and it is not the best.

BMW AG is still having some quality issues with the new M3. Although, the program for the tooling machine that was creating a part out of spec has been corrected, there is still quality issues with the M3. BMW AG is very aware of the US market's propensity to react to quailty issues. SOP has been put on a temporary hold till all issues can be corrected or at best, meet BMW's standard for quality in the US market. The M3 will come to America, but no new date of SOP will be given. Other markets will receive the M3. Production has started for other areas of the world.

Base price of the car has changed as well. I understand we ALL wish the auto rags were close and most of the time they are, but base price will be just under 50k. To some, this is a big deal, but to others, a 10k jump in price really isn't.
