That's not by accident. We know from the 1M experiment that many folks who weren't lucky or fastidious enough in their respective searching for an open allocation ended up in an E9X M3.

BMW is likely hoping for the same kind of result here - sell out of the M2 (no repeat of the Z4MC overproduction and 10K discounts) and have additional folks moving into the higher end M cars.

It's a win/win for them...
Perfectly said. There will be plenty of people that will jump ship and get an M3/4 (or a Cayman S ). But then there are those of us who know EXACTLY what we want from the M2 aka a second chance to getting a 1M.
