Wait...what?

They used to...and I haven't kept track of any of those, so I stand corrected. Apologies for my mistake...

The F-type is a 2 seater roadster. It's in a different class than a 3-series... and way more expensive. I think it's supposed to compete with Porsche. I read somewhere that the XK is most likely going to increase in size and become an Aston Martin-type competitor with a major price increase. So maybe the F is going to replace it.

The F Type S is $81k stock...I built one up, not FULLY loaded, because I don't need any electronics/gaudy new stuff, to me all the new technology just annoys me. The build was $85k, with some sort of climate package, winter traction, different rims, different interior. The car has 380hp. It is a roadster/convertible, though...but the M3 also has a convertible.

The new M4 should be in the high 60s low 70s, and I just saw a speculation thread saying stuff about a $80k M3. Assuming 70k USD...add rims (2k), climate package (800), leather interior (1.5k), 6MT for free, dynamic damper control (1k), you get 75.3k. With the convertible to compare, you get roughly $83-84k.

The M4 convertible will undoubtedly be better, and I would choose that (not that I could...) if I had a choice.

The M4 should also look WAY better than the F-type...I hate the F-type rear end, it looks like a squished Audi A7 rear end...
