Not sure why people say this will cost $80k as if it were fact. It's all speculation at this point, but that seems WAY too high. I expect it will start somewhere in between the current M2 and the current M3 (which starts at $65k). Unless it is very limited production, pricing above the M3 just doesn't make sense. You get less car, worse materials, no carbon fiber roof, and a detuned engine. Sure, a few enthusiasts may pay a premium for a smaller car, but that's generally not how these cars are priced. Why bother detuning the engine if you are going to charge more than an M3? On paper, this competes with an RS3, so my guess is also $60k base price. If they announce more goodies, perhaps it can go up from there, but no way $80k!
