So, the question shouldn't be why wouldn't BMW price the M2 closer to the M3 since that only helps them sell more cars. Rather it should be how expensive can BMW make this car without forcing buyers to look at a VW Golf R, CLA45, Ford Focus RS, GT350, etc? Sure, most of those cars don't offer the luxury of a BMW, but neither does the M2, so.........
What are you referring to when you say the M235i is better optioned than the M2? What "luxary" is missing?
