Good for us guys that want strippers though
True, true.... especially a loaded m235i/240i. Approximately 80% of m235i coupes on dealer lots at this very moment are stickered above $50k. Who wouldn't rather have a stripper m2 for the same money? I know I would.

If this pricing is legit, the only way the m235i coupe might make sense is if you can do a discounted, lightly-optioned ED car for around $40k. Otherwise, there's just not enough room between the two to NOT go with the m2... especially when the m2 is more likely to retain its value.
My thoughts exactly. My m235i was 51k, why would someone not reach for the m2??
