If the 4 series has a a "335is" model coming out then maybe you can compare it to a Cayman...

It really depends which you compare. The 335i convertible is about the same price as the Cayman ~$53k iirc, I know because I did shop the Z4, SLK, Cayman and 335i convertible (qualified for what I wanted because of the hardtop).
The 328i coupe started at ~$38k though so that is a big difference against the Cayman. 335i coupe is about $45k so it is still about $8k less than the Cayman.
Pretty much the top of the line 3-series convertible (and likely this 4-series) that does not have an M badge will start where Cayman begins and the 435i (top line of 4-series that does not have an MBadge) will like be $8k-$10k cheaper.
All a guess at this point but this is still the 3-series coupe rebadged so pricing should be pretty similar, maybe a $1k price increase from the current 3-series coupe.

Not a fan of the sedan, but BMW came through with the coupe
. The F10 M5 is still my favorite right now, but I may be in the market for a new 4-series when they come out

usually hate on beemers every chance I get since I'm a Benz guy, but when I saw this I was thoroughly impressed. can't wait to see the m4 based off this. hopefully mercedes can come out with something even nicer.

They already have the C63 AMG Coupe, which is less than 2 years old iirc.

yeah, but the redesigned c-class is coming out in 2014. then the next amg version will be coming out in 2015 which i believe is the same year that the new m3 and m4 will be released, but i may be wrong and the m's might get out in 2014 so they'll have a one year jump on the amg.

M3 only sounds better to you guys because thats what you're used to.
Think about it...
If it was originally called the M4, you'd prefer that...

335i can go way beyond $50k. I paid $45k for mine when it released in '07. The only options I had were sports package, navi, and Sirius radio. I also got the car at near invoice. If I wanted premium paint, comfort access, real leather, auto, etc. it would easily be another $10k. It was not uncommon for an E92 335i to reach the $60k threshold.
Not really feeling the pictures. We'll see how it looks like in real life. I doubt it'll be that obscure looking.
