Bullseye,

A new BMW M3 costs around £40,000 (i.e. $80,000) depending on the xtras/options.

I did look at the 330i Coupe but with the alloys and sports pack etc, it was going to be around £34,000 (i.e. $68,000).

A new Viper here has a list price of £70,000 (i.e $140,000).

You can save some money by importing a car from a European dealer.
