So $12500 difference in cost for engine + exhaust + suspension + cooling + wider body / fenders etc seems pretty cheap for what you are gettingĪ m340xi with comparatively the same build is a base $56k one, + cooling and High performane 19" wheel package ($1500) + hk ($875) + leather ($1450) + adaptive LEDs (~$1000) = $60825, in this case you are down 91hp, M xdrive, AND you have an ugly ass grill and exhaust for $8000 savings add $2000 for xdrive which isn't m-xdrive (this can't go with track handling pack, but the 330i and xi price difference is $2000), $875 for h&k is already $55475 + whatever adaptive LEDs by themselves would cost (i'd guess something like $1000 which is what the lighting package on the f30 used to cost.

So a 330i with nav, parking package (configurator won't let me not add nav without it, maybe in a real order you can but its only $900 either way), leather, msport, and track andling pack is already $52600. A G80 configured exactly like a basse x3m is like a 330i with track handling pack, leather, nav package, HK without premium package (HK can't be spec'd without premium on a G20 which I hate), adaptive LEDs without exec (also can't do this on g20) and well 218 extra HP and all the stuff to make that 218hp happen such as cooling / exhaust etc (which is more hp than the e90 325i had at launch, if you think about it).

Starting for the 2023 model year, the sedan ships with the eighth-generation of the iDrive infotainment system displayed on a curved display that consists of a 12.3-inch digital instrument cluster and a 14.9-inch touchscreen.Looking at the X3 M post and what it says is standard, i'm starting to think the G80 what kind of a value it will be if its spec'd exactly the same and has the same price of $69,900īased on the G20 330i options sheet. Spotting an Edition 50 Jahre owner in an airport will be easy: every example will be delivered with a BMW M-branded carry-on suitcase.īMW isn't forgetting about the standard M3. There's no word on how BMW will allocate the 500 units, but we suggest getting in line as quickly as possible. Pricing for the 2023 BMW M3 Edition 50 Jahre BMW M starts at $96,695 including a mandatory $995 destination charge, and production is scheduled to start in July 2022. For reference, the 2008 BMW M3 originally had a starting sticker price of 62,620, with the range-topping M3 Convertible 2D starting. It spins the four wheels via an eight-speed automatic transmission, though the xDrive all-wheel-drive system includes a mode that channels the engine's output to the rear wheels. Based on the Competition xDrive variant, the 50 Jahre is powered by a 3.0-liter straight-six that's twin-turbocharged to develop 503 horsepower and 479 pound-feet of torque. This isn't a stripped-out, track-ready special, though: the Executive and Parking Assistance packages and a wireless device charger come standard.īMW made no mechanical modifications. Sport seats for the front passengers come standard, and buyers can order carbon fiber bucket seats at an extra cost. Inside, the M3 50 Jahre gains a numbered aluminum plaque on the center console, M-colored contrast stitching, and M stripes on the headrests. And, of course, the heritage-laced emblem that BMW M unveiled for its 50th birthday is found on both ends. For reference, the 2013 BMW M3 originally had a starting sticker price of 62,845, with the range. The list of standard features also includes a carbon fiber front splitter, a carbon fiber roof panel, a carbon fiber spoiler on the trunk lid, and tail pipes made with carbon fiber and titanium.
