Yep! Something like that. $80-$90k is what I've heard.

The price on the new M3 won't be $90K, it will be around $60K...

It's well above $60k. Optioned out it's pushing up over $80k OTD. Friend of mine just cancelled his order because of that.

That's with dealer mark-up. $80k is way too close to the M5, which the dealer's can't sell at all now.

Yes. I've also talked to someone else about trading in on an e90 M3, and was given a similar number.

I dunno. I think base price is supposed to be around $65k and BMW isn't as bad as Porsche about options. With the typical Premium and Cold Weather Packages it should be close to $70k, then there will be tax, title, license, gas guzzler tax and dest. charges you should be close to $80k (using Chicago taxes).
Of course, at that level you could get a 335i sedan for the commute and an 2007 M Coupe/Roadster for fun...

Or pick up a very nice 993TT or even a 996TT with a little work.

I checked, and in Canada the Dinan warranty program is not valid, which sucks. So I wouldn't pay 2K for Dinan. So between the JB2, SSTT, Proceed V2 or anyother chip/ ECU repgrom. which one is friendlier with the warranty? (easy to uninstall, dealer friendly, less chances of breaking, etc...)

The SSTT is about a 30 second install once you figure out how. Slip a dime under the clip of the TMAP sensor and pull the plug apart. Install the SSTT by plugging it into the harness you just unplugged, and plug the TMAP back into the SSTT. With a little dexterity, you can do it all with one hand. Uninstall would probably take a minute or two (haven't taken it out yet, been to the dealer a couple times).
I forget the power / torque gains, but it's putting most 335's into the high 12's / low 13's in the 1/4 mi.
I haven't had a bit of trouble either. No codes, nada.
I may sell mine when the attache comes out, just looking for even more power, and I don't mind the added install work.

The Attache goes into the ECU. The torque curve looks to be as flat as a table, and TALL! lol It's supposed to be a plug and play install, not suppoed to require and soldering or wire cutting, but I have not done it yet. I will likely be ordering one.
The PROcede requires some wire splicing. Same basic idea as Attache (it was also out before Attache), but the Attache seems to have refined the install idea a bit. PROcede wires into the ECU.
The JuiceBox (JB/JB2/JB2R) is also wired into the ECU. I believe it is similar to the PROcede for installation.
Last is the Dinan flash. It's loaded into the ECU, no wires. If you get the cars firmware updated, they'll have to do the reflash (no charge for that).
The power gains? The PROcede and JB2R seem to be tops, but the Attache is new and looks very promising. I think they'll all be VERY close when it's all said and done. Looks like many people are running mid-low 12's with this tune.
The Dinan is a little less power, a little more money, but it does include a warranty for anything that is voided in the BMW warranty by the Dinana flash.
SSTT is the easiest to remove for a service visit. Still makes great power. High 12's is nothing to sneeze at for a car as refined as the e90/92/93.
