E39 was about $80k USA, correct? E60 tops out at about $100k USA. Is this thing going to cost us $120k USA fully loaded?!?

:crying2:

...considering BMW is probably selling them at a loss now, I would guess much more unless something drastic happens with the exchange rate, as the 2008 M5 currently - without tax, goes for 77,000 euro, which is $120,000 ouich

I cannot see them selling higher anywhere else in the world other than the US.

WW Economy is in the dumper, they need to sustain high volumes to amortize their cap cost...

I cannot imagine BMW doing a supercar now nor can I see them bumping up the price generation over generation....that is how NOT to grow volume, which is what they are after. With a heavy cap cost, the way to profitabliity is through volume.
