Use 3%, which is closer to what the EU has seen, and it would be $62k. Further, we won't see the M2 until at the earliest, next year, so you should account for another year or two of inflation for that too.
I'm done discussing the potential price of the M2. Now we're up to $57.4k for it I just hope BMW does not look at this for an excuse to increase their price.

When I ask where you got your info from, I was talking about the m235i going to be replaced with a 4 cylinder 235tii (thats what you told me) and you seem to have a source on the low M2 pricing.

Anyways, if you believe the M2 will price under $50k then thats fine...its just hard to believe by many of us here on this board
Supposedly, that is what SCOTT said. Although I do not trust him, multiple sources have said the M235i will be replaced when the M2 comes out. It only makes sense to make the 235 with a high powered 4 cylinder as that is what all other manufactures are doing.
