BMW Tucson
So speaking of M4 premium. I called the Tucson BMW store and they have not sold their HEA car, but they want 67K for it. Ouch! I told him good luck with that. I don't need to have the first one on the block for an extra 10K.

The M4 is a premium because you get more then you do compared to an M2. Similarly when you compare and M3 to an M5.
In reality the M2 is marketed towards people who cant afford an M4. Like all of BMW's series each one is marketing towards a segment mainly based on affordability. The 2 series is no different. IMO BMW has way diluted their brand cashing in on 1 series and 2 series markets. Its now the every mans cars vs anything exclusive it used to be. Im not saying the M2 wouldn't be a fun car to drive and doesn't have its own merits, but it simply doesn't offer as much as the M4 does objectively speaking no matter how much people want it to. |

This directive is rooted in subjectivity, further underscored by the bolded part of your last sentence. Nothing wrong with having an opinion.

Think of it in terms of woman. It would be fun to ride Charlize Thereon, but objectively speaking Sofia Viagra objectively speaking offers so much more. Make sense? |

As for every man's car, the least expensive BMW is a base (no option) 228i with destination & handling is $33,845. A base Civic is $19,475. The 2 series sold 13,020 for 2015 in the US, while the Civic sold 335,383 for 2015 in the US. Not sure I'd call a BMW 2 series an every mans car. Last edited by Aloha Joe; 03-04-2016 at 05:10 PM..

The same argument could be made for the all of their SUV's as well since that's diluting the sporty brand. BMW made a smart move by allowing a lower entry point, they're more likely to have lifetime customers vs someone who wouldn't buy one until they're 50 and then moves on to another brand. |

Would get an m2 if the lease deal didn't suck.
F80 and f82 exhaust notes are so unbelievably underwhelming. If I was a buyer, I'd get a used cayenne GTS all day or even a 997. For all those who are concerned with size and feel and exhaust, you can't beat a pre owned Porsche for the money. Anyone have any interest in the Giulia or XE SVR, or am I in the wrong forum?? What about the new RS3 sedan? Too heavy? Don't like all wheel drive and the fact that it'll be an auto tranny? Also - are people forgetting you can only get this freakin car in four colors, with interior choice being black or black. Does that not bother anyone?

And I don't give a rip about special order funky colors, inside or outside the car. Gray outside, black inside is just fine with me. There is more than one kind of target M2 customer out there. |
