Not true. My 6MT is well-equipped, but doesn't have buckets, CCBs, M Driver's Package, or any port-installed options (M carbon bits, MPHAS, Exhaust etc). It stickered for $94.4k, and TTL brought that to 6 figures easily. Total OTD with ceramic coating and tire/wheel protection was $106k.

The roof's explanation makes sense. Also, I've no idea how 911 is built. To that matter, no idea how they built the CF roof on the M3/4. I only see what the official documentation says. I admit, it may not tell you the whole truth.
I don't see how you can get to $94.4 by configuring an M3 and adding options online. Did you get an Individual paint or options not listed in the online configurator to get the sticker to $94.4?
