Waiting won't ameliorate the situation. Unless BMW suddenly builds more cars. No sign of that happening. Go buy an e92, one of the crapiest of the small m cars for many reasons. You wonder why they're cheap? I don't.
I'm so amused by all the posts lamenting the high secondary prices. The market has spoken. There is a reason.
If you can buy a new one right now for the same price as a used one, the market will adjust, and from the tone of your post, you for one will not like that :-)

The M2 is a good car, but no way in hell would I buy a used one for the prices being asked now. Rational choices at present appear to be:

(1) Get a deal on a new one, and they appear to be out there, finally;
(2) Wait for prices to drop on used ones;
(3) Wait and see and don't buy unless there is a reason to.

I'm with 3 and in a holding pattern. It's a good car, but it is not that special that I would lose 2 minute's worth of sleep over.
