Is someone dumb for paying $1,500 for a sunroof that adds extra weight and no performance, or pays $500 extra for a metallic color they like with no performance gains...pretty silly arguments. If the cars are sold to happy customers for the asking price, means BMW didn't "overcharge" for it. If they don't sell, then BMW is overcharging.

If anything, would be more logical for haters of special editions to actually be happy that BMW is making such abnormal profits to reinvest them in the already beloved FI I-6 turbocharged M3 that will replace it.
We aren't haters, we just disagree that BMW is correlating paint with PERFORMANCE.
Also you are assuming they are reinvesting profits for this M marketing on the new M3-6. I would say someone is investing in their pockets
Pulling the trigger already on the M5 9/1 date, but I am not this punch drunk to waste my cash money.
