Now, I don't mean that from a comparative perspective as in what other cars you can get for that money (we know its a value from that view) or the fact that absurd kia suv's now cost 55k... but I mean that in general. Do you feel it's worth 90k?
When I drove it, I never got a feeling of a 90k car... its a 3 series all in and it still feels like a 3 series... more special... sure. But I was not sure why this car would cost 90k, nothing there feels special to put that price on it from my perspective. i think at 70k, it becomes a more feasible car when you know you are getting value for what you paid... when the initial cars came out at 78k, that seemed more feasible although still high. Remember, 110k gets you an M5 with one of the last V8s in existance.

I think like most cars, the M3 pricing is reaching a point (with options) where it's not worth it (100K plus) in a vacuum but is a great value comparatively. I think the M3 feels worth it and is compelling at ~85-88K.
As someone who owned an F90 M5 Comp and now on my second G80 M3, I can say the M3 is more worth it than the M5. The M5 was simply not worth 120K in any way shape or form to me. The V8 was great, but the rest of it never did much for me. The G80 M3 just feels right in every regard to me.
