Well its just over $100K in Canada, and lower than the old M5 was there. Now because the Canadian Dollar has gone up a lot to the US dollar recently we can't look at the old US price and base it on that, but I would be SHOCKED if the US pricing doesn't start around $91K-$93K, certainly under $95K. And if it comes with all the standard features that the Canadian version does, thats not too bad.
Also note the 2010 M5 was $85,700 to start (up $200 over the 2009 model), now the V8 has to be cheaper than the V10 was! There is hope it could start under $90K to compete with the E63 in price.
My reason for thinking they would be crazy to be over $95K is the CLS63 AMG is $94,900 to start and the E63 AMG is $88,900 with their new turbo V8s. Yes I would take a M5 over a E63, but not so sure about taking one over a CLS63 if they were priced similar. Of course I won't be buying one new anytime soon but am hoping to possibly trade my C63 in for an M5 in 2 years (maybe get one for $75K used, tough call that or a new M3 Sedan)
