I will eat a shoe if the M2 CS is going to be 40% over the M4 Coupe unless it gets a lot more than what we've seen testing so far. The M4 CS is expected to be 40% - 50% over the base M4 price.

The M2 CS's spec is not even close to the base M4 (Engine output, Carbon Fiber application, Interior, equipment, size). Not sure how they could justify such a steep increase in price. It could be between 25% to 40% over the base M2 at around the 70K USD mark.

Also, the base M2 does not have the ZCP package like in the M3/M4 does. The 35 HP increase in the M2 CS over the base M2 and the minor cosmetic changes we see on the test cars look akin to the ZCP package for the M2. That was probably why ynguldyn thought it could be called competition instead of CS.

When you look at it's competitors(Audi TT RS, Cayman S), they're all in the 60K USD range. Also, April sales numbers for BMW went down by over 9%. They have to stay competitive.
Please take another look at my post.
