so what is pricing supposed to be on this? back to soft top, is it going to be in line with a 3 series again?

Z4 M40i with 355 horsepower (what X3 has) would be pretty awesome.

looked up 2006 road test from CD on Z4M roadster, 330 hp 262 torque and 0-60 in 4.6 seconds, throw on 25 more HP and 100 more torque if the weight is even similar, this will be a fun car.
BMW claims the heavy X3 is 4.6 seconds (granted thats with AWD).

Merc SLC43 starts just above $60K, has to be competitive with that
