if there is ONE thing to understand about MERCHANDISING is that not every product is on the sales floor to generate MAX PROFIT, and the ones that are designated to be profit centers are specifically designed, built, packaged, marketed , and sold as such. it's easy to see by looking at BMW sales that BMW sells around 6-10X as many 3 series as they do 2 series. BMW has focused far more energy into the 3/4 compared to the 2 series and when it comes to the M cars... once this new car comes out.. they will have saved as much money as possible by grafting over the ENTIRE underpinnings of an M3/M4 onto the smaller chassis.... not just the suspension.. it's now the suspension and complete drivetrain and perhaps even the entire exhaust set up.

IMO the base MSRP will be close to the actual M3/M4 price.
My estimate for the M2 Comp is between 61K and 64K while the M3/M4 are 67-68K. |

As for marketing standpoint, some of the products might have lower margin (which is to some extent mitigated by low volume) but these, like the M2 can have the halo effect boosting overall sales for given series. They 'earn' more in free (unpaid for) consumer reach (publicity, reviews, tests, general buzz on the Internet, this forum, etc.). This usually is not taken into consideration by any finance department into ROI calculation or margin. The regular cars and M Performance have probably higher margin than M cars in general. But M division is all about building aspiration. Everybody would like to drive an M car, to be in the club but the aggressive pricing doesn't allow this. People who cannot afford or justify an M car go for other (better for BMW) option - like M240i or M140i (building profitable volume and keeping the margin on an acceptable level for the whole range). |

I paid 63.4k for mine brand new for my LCI - I am not sure a S55 + M4 seats and larger brakes is worth 35+k more - I would much rather be in a P car for that money

You are telling this forum you got roughly $10K or maybe more off a brand new LCI M2. I simply don't believe it and not sure why you'd bother bragging about something like that. I got a discount, pretty typical one with some extras that essentially 100% of people can get on the forum with the exception of you apparently. So I'm not mad, just think it's peculiar that not only would you make such a claim but find it to be a point of pride.

Hard to believe you got such a steal, well done. In that case it doesn't make much sense to get or wait for an M2 comp. which will easily cost 90K+ CAD

A $1,300 discount? Is that "knowing the right people"? Hahaha. Hey man capture the rest of that invoice where it lists what you ACTUALLY paid. As I said in my previous post literally surrounded by asterix, **out the door**. Either you can't read or you're trying to argue a totally different point. But you probably shouldn't be calling people condescending idiots.
Backing up to the point of my post, the Canadian rumors Chako heard about the Competition's pricing seem to be plausible and this only goes to support that.

That is what I paid + HST. There is no a/c fee, freight, PDI, or admin fee on my invoice after that number. I was told by the same contact for this sale that the Comp would be 100+K if you wanted to skip the line and have the 2nd Comp as they could not bump the 1st for legal reasons - 90+ if you wanted to be back of the line - that is NOT with tax / pdi / freight - the equivalent price to what I just posted. I am not sure how you guys from out west think, but out here people don't talk after tax/fees when they buy cars - just like how auto-trader price is not with tax freight pdi etc etc etc. |
