Not to mention, carbon fiber aint near as expensive as what they charge for it. margin is insane.
BMW isnt trying to show value, they are trying to price a car at a price point that 2k of them or whatever will sell. if they had to move 100k of them it wouldnt be priced at 85k+

Agreed with this. While $83K is a lot, it is a lot cheaper than the 911 Carrera S that I built at $137K. Some on Rennlist are griping that the Carrera S is approaching GT3 levels of pricing. German sports coupes are luxury items that will continue to be priced high especially limited edition versions. Just wait until the 992 GT3 and Turbo get priced. Look at the M8 and M8 competition. Wait until the G80 M3 and G82 M4 CS.
Limited edition versions like the CS will continue to be priced high. They are not intended to be sold in droves like the base or competition models. Same like the 911 GT3. The base models of these cars are fantastic and a better value for the money. Don't make it bother you if you can't afford the limited edition models.
