100 grand? it's not doubling in price here. the price in europe and england will NOT be the price here...my brother got his '03 for like 53k, i think, out the door. i would bet the msrp for the new one would be around 60-63k. just a guess.

most likely 65-70k range loaded, probably start in the mid to high 50k, still very expensive.
i think personally id be more inclined to buy a 335 and call it a day.

then how come you are driving a heavy over weight rx8 instead of a light weight handling machine like the miata? 
some time i wonder, if people here are this obsessed with weight, what does rx7 and miata forum people say about the rx8's weight?

The article clearly says, and I quote, "The BMW M3 Coupé goes on sale in September 2007 priced at £50625."
50,625 British pounds = 103,087.688 U.S. dollars
Will there be THAT much of a price difference between the ones sold in the US and the UK? I find it hard to believe -- but time will tell. We shall see.

That's easy, for it's size and class the RX-8 is light. I don't like convertibles and am also too tall to drive a Miata comfortably. I've already owned RX-7s, the RX-8 is a better chassis.

actually the FDs were in the neighbourhood of 2900lbs. So not much less than an rx8 considering it is smaller and has far less luxury accoutrements.
