No one really knows what the new M5 is going to cost so its hard to say for sure, but take this as a thought, if you max out the new 650i, your at 100K+, which seems at least to argue against the point that some believe the new M5 will "only" be mid 90s. If this does turn out to be true, it means that the non-M with "only" 400hp will cost more than the M5 with 560hp.
I point this out, because when you then see that the new 650 GC is like $5K+ more (than the 2door 6er)based on the pricing in germany, so there is clearly a prescedent that regardless of the model and perceived logical pricing, that BMW has their own thoughts and are marketing different cars in different ways.
I cant see the M4 GC being less costly than today's e93 M3, so Id argue that sure, loaded it could easily be $90K+ in a year or two when it actually comes out...And guess what, if its more agile, less hefty, it may well give the M5 a run for its money cause that thing is a BOAT! A very very fast speedboat, but a BOAT for sure
time will tell
