Ok, you're right, I'm a dumbass and I think everyone needs an entertainment center on wheels.
No comprehension problems here. I understand you can order a base car for the base price. My argument is that every treats it like a $45k car, when the truth is, there are going to be like 2,000 of those cars made, and ALMOST EVERYONE that gets one will pay substantially more than $45k for the car...so $45k isn't really representative of the car's price.
M3s are so common that you can order one however you want and dealers are happy to sell them to you. But for the 1M, dealers will have strict build allocations IF they even get any on a such small volume vehicle. So you might not even be able to order one.

That's not how BMW distributes cars to their dealers. Every single car is accounted for before production. They don't build cars and tell dealers what they get. Dealers order cars just like you do.

I was seriously considering this car because i could transfer most of the mods from my 335xi to this car but then i started thinking for around this price or a little more I could get a used GT-R and really own a performance icon.

Looks good in alpine white, is it just me or does that front wheel gap look a bit large? I'm sure it's in the name of suspension tuning but typically BMW is pretty good about filling up those wheel wells, especially with 19's.
