In other words the price is going to be set at something that takes in emotional variables as well as hard-ass objective financing.

I've hovered around 35k. I'll take a shot and say it'll come in under that-
$34,800. Why? The 328 Coupe is msrp-ing @ $35,300.
Someone might say, "hey, the entry 3-er Coupe's only got a detuned N52 engine."
But tell that to the person who bought one...they're going to want to feel like they have the better car because they paid more money and it's the next series up from the 1-er.
It's not apples to oranges in this case- it's dollar-to-dollar.

Final guess? $34,798....but I have a suspicion it's wishful thinking.
My cut-off price is 36k. More than that and I'm looking at getting into another Z4.
That is so true. I see eye to eye with Brookside. Except where we differ is if its 36k, I'm gonna have to sell one of my kidneys! I have no backups..
