Nice-to-have:
- ~3200lb (6-sp) US curb weight
- M-perf coilovers installed by default
- Flatter torque curve towards end of rev range
- Ability to defeat overboost
- More interior color options (ha! I'm dreaming)
- Bespoke seats
Do NOT want:
- More peak power at the expense of increased turbo lag or a plunge in torque towards the end of rev range

I agree with most of this but the 10% price increase is a pipe dream. I'm guessing this car will fall in the $70-85k region and be super limited. So my addition would be make the car limited but not too limited to the point that it will be near impossible to get. Just for comparison's sake the M4 GTS only has 300 units being shipped to the US and that may be appropriate considering it is priced around $135k but if the M2 CSL is priced around $75k then there will be a lot more people interested in buying one and I hope BMW takes that into consideration.
