Car would be $50K by the time it's optioned out. This is not the M2.

This is no more car than my '10 135 was. A base model should be $36 at the most, $44 optioned out.
I think 36K is a dream--I don't know if the 135 was ever that low in the US? If so, it definitely costs more than that to start now.

As stated elsewhere, the M235 is basically the replacement for the 135is in new 2 series form. The 135is starts at 44K. No way we are getting the M235 below that, at least in my opinion.

45-47 feels right to me...now, I would be quite happy if it came in at 40 or lower, but I just don't see that happening.
