I bet those who were paying $75k+ for M3's when the first came out feel pretty stupid right about now.

I have a question I was hoping some of you 3 series experts could help with. There is this guy I see driving around campus (yes someone my age with an M3 ), and the plate on the car is S65B40. Does that have anything to do with the car?
