OP, thank you for the update.

We can speculate on why this car will be a winner or a loser, and folks can complain all day. The safety, the cooling, the drivetrain demands and the design limitations would cause this car to spiral in price like the M3 GTS did in recent years if the car rivals the M4 performance. BMW makes it clear, this car is below the M4 and above a M235i. It will please certain folk between those two cars, who can afford a car in between. Period.

Perhaps the reduced weight and shorter wheelbase, along with a wide track and a mechanical locking diff will make the M2 shine on a very short track. And if so, the M2 will become an instant autocross fantasy car! This is what I think BMW is trying to do with the M2.

Stripped I would expect 55k, and loaded $65k USD OTD. Again, not for everyone, but for someone who is single, drives to the track and is not rich.

This car will have a following.
