I want to put this out and wouldn't mind others opinions and thoughts on this. I've been following the M2 and it seems US will pay about 50K and to step up to M3 it's about another 10K. I was getting annoyed when I kept bitching about M2 not getting M seats, CF roof etc etc the U.S. Guys would say get go get the M3 if you want all that and BMW needs to keep the price low. Easy for them to say that because it's 10K difference.
The M2 is getting:
No bespoke engine
No M seats
No CF roof
It's 50K US and maybe 100K AUS
U.S guys are happy to accept the limited bits because they understand it's a cost thing otherwise it starts getting into the range of what a US base stripper M3 is. 10k difference. What do you get for that 10k even on a base M3? You at least get access to the main bits - bespoke engine, M seats, CF roof and more! Such good value compared to us right?
Now when you compare to AUS to get these extra bits your looking at 70K+ WTF!!! No such thing as a base stripper version. Even if there was I reckon your still looking at 40-50K more perhaps?
So where is the fundamental problem here? It's BMW Germany? BMW Australia and the individuals stealing from us? We get ripped off because those who cannot afford the M3 look at entry level M for something like M2 and it gets held back on its value in comparison to U.S
Am I missing something here. I understand wages are different and all and the average wage might be different but it can't equate to this much surely? The gap between M2 and M3 needs to either reduce significantly or both prices of each need to come down and this applies not just to BMW but all German cars.
Anything that can be done ? Is it just were being taken for a ride and as long as everyone sits back and just cops it nothing will change?? I feel like this needs to be on the news with huge public backing? Is it possible?

Taking a stance? U.S pricing vs AUS
