Not any negotiating happening in that environment.

Time will tell how the demand is for the CS. All of the sporty 2 series starting with the M235i then the M2 and then on to the M2 Competition were all launched with great fan fair and proceeded to have a short supply for at least 6 months. Many dealers were demanding prices over MSRP only to offer discounts later on. Now the CS is launched.... we'll see what happens.

You're correct, all initially 2 series model lineage all had a initial high demand, when they were now introduce to the market.
The M235i, in early 2014, was marked-up because as I was told by my dealer; it's a "niche" model..
And the M2, I remember I was blowed away by it's $51,700 base price, which was the BMW bargain of the decade IMO but the dealer had only one, on the showroom floor, with a few cosmetic bits, proudly adorning a $65,000 price tag.. As if
I suspect the M2 CS will sell out for sticker because of the limited units. There are a lot of people that believe that this model would recreate the supple/demand jackpot, like what happen with the 1M.
Who knows, maybe it will..
:
I doubt the dealer's will discount the CS much, if any, when there is only 500 available, in the whole country of 325 million people.
To be honest, I like it and although it a lavish expense, if I could of swing it, I would throw my hat in the ring, to get me one.
