E92 M3 News
Multiple BMW chat forums and Leftlane News
readers are reporting that BMW North America has given dealers
preliminary pricing details for the 2007 BMW M3 coupe. The car is
expected to make its official debut before the end of the year —
possibly at the Paris Motor Show in September. If the data is to be
believed, it would position the M3 about $10,000 above the new 335i
coupe. Base U.S. price is listed at $53,975 with a 4.0-liter, 412
horsepower V8 engine, putting down 310 pound-feet of torque. A carbon
fiber roof, 18" wheels, and adaptive headlights are also listed as
standard equipment. Purchasers will be able to chose between a SMG III
and six-speed manual transmissions, with neither costing more than the
other. While LLN can not independently verify this
information, one possible reason for its early release to dealers could
be in order to enable pre-orders for what is sure to be a hot-seller.

The horse power output is nice, but for a high output 4.0L engine 310 tq isnt enough. It should be around the same as the HP.

adding up most of the common options and the car costs a whopping 60K. If it doesn't come in 4 door form, I will be the last one to see it.
At what rpm does the engine generate 310 lb ft of torque? If it's at 5000+ rpm, then the engine is in fact torqueless by today's standards.
