So I went on BMWUSA and built a 2013 135is optioned out but not fully loaded as follows:
Base MSRP ---- $43,250
Metallic paint ---- $550
Premium --- $2,400
Tech package -- $2,350
heated front seats -- $500
Manual 6 MT --- $0
Destination ------ $925
Total MSRP ---- $49,975
This reinforces the premise that the M235 with the same common options will be around $50K
While I don't think they will raise the price too much compared to the 135is, I do not think they will lower it either, regardless of whether there is a standard 235 on offer or not.
So again figure $44-45K base, $50K with Premium and tech
Personally, I think the M2 will be the better value and obviously the better car in terms of performance at least.
