I just priced out a BMW 330i (all wheel drive), which starts at $42,250. The Tesla M3 Long Range (dual motor) starts at $49,500. However, the BMW base price does not include "luxury trim" (i.e., chrome highlights), "convenience package" (basically lumbar support and keyless entry plus app access), "driver assistance", or "parking assistance". All of these seem to be standard in the M3 LR. Once you add those packages, the 330i pops over $51k. If anything, it looks like Tesla has set their prices to compete directly against the 3 series line. (These prices don't include tax subsidies or destination charges, etc.)
