If you look closely at the pictures it has a bunch of M Performance parts on it (really, carbon exhaust tips?).
I think this explains the discrepancy, but I wish they would list this stuff separately. Of course, it doesn't help that the local market is pretty much an "MSRP" and we are doing you a favor for even allowing you in the showroom kind of place.

AND, those "dealer installed" parts get pretty spendy if you consider what they *really* cost if you roll them into the cost of the car and then do any financing. You'e paying for those things for the entire length of the loan-- something that a lot of people forget to consider.

Agree. The add ons do confuse things. Just got an M2C that was on the lot configured exactly the way I would have, but had $500 in add ons like floor mats. Got the car for $2,500 under MSRP in Northern VA, which is about $3,000 less than what I have been seeing. My Euro delivery fell through and I was depressed so went back to local dealerships web sites. Great inventory.
