more than I expected, thought maybe $2,000, but maybe there are things it has the X3MC doesn't...
what is really interesting is a X5M is $2,000 more in US than M5
But looks like a M3 will be $4,000 more than X3M. Seems like X3M would cost more to build with same M parts as M3.
another things to point out, M340i is $2,000 less than X3 M40i
maybe someone can fill me in on the EXTRA cost of the M3 over X3M

You should mostly ignore the European pricing and focus on the comparable USA pricing structure. There are vastly different regulations governing vehicle pricing when it comes to vehicle size,emissions, and taxation.
X3 M40i and m340 xdrive = $100 difference ( your comparison was rwd vs the xdrive suv)
Looking at the existing relevant m performance and full m lineups (x3/x4, 3/4/5, x5/x6) all in all we are talking about pricing within 2-3% between the suv and sedan cousin, between sedan/suv and coupe/suv coupe version. I would not expect the M3/m4 to diverge wildly from that logic
