This cannot be right, seems very very high. BMW will price themselves out of the market with this. The intel I got mentioned closer to 90-95k base. Can anyone confirm this?

My dealer also thought around 90-95 Plus - e63 starts at 87.6k and cls63 at 94.9k - no way m5 would be higher base price than cls63...

I think your dealer may have been assuming a straight conversion from British pound - which is never the case. M's are always far cheaper in us compared to uk and Europe - so a straight currency conversion will always give you a price far higher than what it will actually be - same thing for e9x m3's...
