Based on the price increase in UK market and the fact that it's officially confirmed that it will cost less than an M4, I think the price increase will not be as dramatic as many think here.

It's all good.
The world will know the price shortly - but either way I find it amazing that it will be lower than a Base M4...the amount of additional R&D associated with the seat swap, engine swap and getting everything to work with the new powerplant isn't cheap.
I wouldn't be surprised if BMW was asking $70k for an M2 ZCP with an S55. I get that it would surpass the M3/4 class in terms of pricing - but they can almost make this fit within it's own class as a true "track car" to compete against the TT-RS or even the GT4.
The market would be happy to support an M2 like this...
