How to BS your customers legally, while maximizing profits... Usually some catchy name goes along with it, like, "M2 Performance Edition." In this case, it's not that bad... Just getting a package deal for a little less. Honestly, if they never even gave it a name, people would have not batted an eye. Jalopnik had an article on this and everyone is bashing BMW (like Jalopnik always does so they can remain cool, get clicks, and appease their financially-deprived readers, many of whom can't afford a new BMW). That website is not even readable anymore. It's just one big tabloid nowadays. Last edited by csbear; 02-18-2017 at 11:16 AM.. |

I'm with you norMcal - I don't see a point in this car when you get more for your money with a standard M2 and buying extras after. |

Just another way for the dealerships to make an extra $25K per car?
Next year there will be another "special" model with some "special" bolt-on parts or the standard car will have all of these installed. |

I agree with you on the 991. it's a GT car now. Cayman GTS is probably the best bit for you if not the GT4. |

Ok I think nine pages has exhausted the issue from every conceivable angle. Thank you to all the marketing experts here. Here's how this works, even if you want this car, with only 150 units and US only, you can't have one so repeatedly stating "no thanks" is moot. If you are one of the rare few that could access one but don't like it or want it it's very simple, don't buy it.

The M performance parts, especially the suspension, are pretty epic. Next level and fine tuned.

I am not saying the upcoming special M2 which will be probably priced at 70K and by the time the dealer gets it 90 to you is not gonna be valuable....I agree that will be the most valuable m2..but for 61K you get a collectors edition of 150...its a super deal

It's not a collector edition. Its just a different optioned M2 like the rest of the world has. If it was a special color then you might be able to call it a special edition.

I was offered this car from a texas dealership today morning which is getting one with DCT having March production and May delivery. They have it at MSRP + TT&L. I was the 5th person that it was offered to. The other 4 were 3 customers on the M2 wait list and 1 customer who is #1 on the M2 CS/CSL wait list.
That's 5 people who passed on it. It might technically be a collectible but it does not look like too many people even want it. Not sure why this would be sought after in a few years when there would be an M2 CS and maybe an M2 GTS/CSL as well. Thing to note here is that, it is an MSRP dealership. 5 people passed on this car at MSRP. I am sure they'll sell it relatively easily but it just shows that the reception for this car is lukewarm at best. |

My opinion: it's because the price of the "standard" M2 is one of it's biggest selling points. The price of the Performance Edition M2 butts it right up against the price of a new M3 and close to that of an M4. At that price, I'd buy an M3.
