I'd bet some folks at Porsche headquarters were just as surprised as I am.

We love our Crocs, but they have been overpriced since before they came out. I recall reading an editorial in "Excellence" magazine almost a year before I bought mine commenting about the price premium that Porsche was charging over a similarly equipped Boxster.
Fortunately, free markets have a way of working those things out, and many of us paid considerable under sticker, although Porsche will not acknowledge that the discounts exist.
As for the M3, I too priced one up and it came out to about $64K. I commented to my wife that $64K was full sticker for my '06 CS, although I actually paid considerable less.
