Needless to say that was a no go and I realized how they make they $$.
My 2 cents on price is that this thing is a steal at $43k (look at the comparisons. This car matches up amazingly to the e46 M3, 335is, and other examples they list in the forum. I was looking at them last night and realized the thing is the same size as a e46!. My concerns of size were eliminated immediately) My 335is was $60k and if you take a e46 M3 at time of purchase and consider inflation I'm sure that they weren't cheap. I personally think it's a fair ratio of performance to cost. MPG is amazing too considering. But if I build what I want and add the rims and some other goodies I'm over $56k for sure. So I understand everyone's concerns.
I wish I could just go with the base at $43+ and be done with it. God forbid I can't use my nav to skype my friends while checking stocks and Facebook while hanging S turns at 70 mph. For me personally, even fully loaded, it will actually save me $ compared to my 335is and I really don't think I'm sacrificing much other than backseat legroom. Truth is I just wish we could order everything a la carte to meet our desires and price restrictions and add it up and the end. Unfortunately the "package" world is here to stay I think.

Agreed, rather than all the latest and greatest BS tech that I don't ever use as it takes away from the drive and creates potentially dangerous situations, I'll enjoy
driving my "Ultimate Driving Machine."
