Yes I am. But all the info is there and one simply needs to put it together.
BMW production models and locations
BMW sales figures
unattractive Lease rates
Marketing strategy/savvy
Sales strategy /savvy
number of available allocations
Lack of profit on low production model
Combine all the data and one realizes that M2 is the sizzle that's selling a lot of M235, M3 and M4 steak for BMW AG... And then one begins to realize ... Hey wait... They really Aren't. Gonna. Crank . Up. Production. Like , They . Normally .Do...

The good news? If this is true, and the low production is purposeful and it will not be fixed, then they likely have their pricing strategy set based on this approach and will not be putting a larger price bump (due to high demand). That is, the price bump will be in line with all the other models mentioned to keep the same relative position. Otherwise it skews their strategy.
Always look on the bright side
We will know soon enough.
