Heh if they think they can charge more for the M4 they will, plus it might come with more power than the 510ps in the X4MC you never know.

But when you look at the pricing strategy across the range it makes sense that the M3/4 are slightly cheaper than the SAV version.
The G80 M3 looks very fast and composed in ring spy shots. If it turns out to be eye-popping fast there could be a fee to pay vs. a SAV with no serious track ambitions especially if those fast times come from higher end chassis components and materials.
