Porsche prices, however, have skyrocketed.

We're on the same page regarding base price, where the gap between the M3/4 and 911 has kept increasing. My point is that BMW has kept adding more and more pricey options where many out the door M3/4 are now close or over the base 911 price. But as heavyD^2 has pointed out, there aren't many stripper base 911 out there.
Further, for us in Canada, the G8X base price jumped quite significantly compared to the E46, E9X and F8X... |
I'm with you on the pricey options, but that's just good business sense.
We all agree you don't need to spend $8k on CCBs and $5k on exterior carbon fiber, but some folks want to, and BMW is smart to service them.
This will sound like I'm a Porsche-hater, but truthfully speaking the real super villain when it comes to options is the boys from Stuttgart. What's that stat? The _average_ 911 has $30k of options on it? Fully optioned M3's don't add that much to the base price.
