One main factor is ''the driving experience'' and if it follows BMW's trend for these special models it should be on the line. Let me explain

The M3 and M4 CS were genuinely better driving and performing cars. The suspension, chassis and powertrain is just better, thats a fact.

2 problems arise as I see it, 1- The buyers capable or willing to extract and use these performance differences vs a M3/4 comp is a very very small portion of the model buyers. 2- By removing plenty of creature comfort and equipment while still increasing the price they just killed off all impulse buyers looking for the latest greatest that don't want to lose anything and your left with only a few hardcore enthousiasts willing to cope with it. Its poor product planning, Porsche GTS line up is the right way to do it, performance enhancements but access to normal/luxury options still.

The only noveltys that M2cs posess is the Adaptive Suspension, available carbon brakes and the factory tune. All the rest is more bling and show than Go I'd say.. I've said it before, what will/could save it from the same fate as its big brother is the M/T trans and that the M2 is more exciting to drive than the M3/4 from the start.
