Try your math again.

First of all, the base for an M3 is $62k not $68k, as your $20k difference would reveal.

Second, at that price, Nav is not standard, nor is sport diff, nor is leather. Add those in and you're at $53,500. Now you're equivalent to a base M3, at $62k. So $8,500 different, not $20k.

Not saying that there should be $8,500 in spread, but it's certainly not $20k.
