Our buddy Tom just tipped us off that someone over at E90Post posted what they say is US pricing info (though, strangely, metric horsepower and torque specs) for the next-gen BMW M3 coupe, due out later this year. Some notables regarding the new model are its 4.0-liter V8 (bi-VANOS 3rd gen.), producing 412 hp and 310 ft-lbs of torque, its available SMG III 7-speed tranny (six-speed manual standard), its carbon-fiber roofage similar to the M6's, and base price of $53,975, a $5000 jump from the 2006 MSRP (options raise the ceiling quickly). Lots more after the fold, taken with a big 'ol grain of salt.
