If you use this as an example you can expect the M5 to base price in the US market at 80.000 USD. Well optioned, sure you can hit 100.000 USD but I would bet you won't see it as a base price. It just is not logical.

$80K is the ideal starting price point. Making it start at $100k would make it hard to compete in the super-sedan market when the competition (E63, S6, CTS-V) begins at $70K+

But I wouldn't be surprised if it starts at the same price as the E63 ($88K)
