I think this is a great point. The CS will lift all boats below it. Potential CS buyer gets scared off by price. Starts poking around looking at OG & Comp. Hmm. Looks like almost as much car for far less. And while he could gripe that used prices are "too high", the other side of that coin is that it shows how well the car is holding its value - something a used buyer should care about.

All flavors of the M2 really are special cars. And not that many people seem to have gotten the memo. Same thing happened with the E86 Z4 M Coupe. Dealers couldn't give them away when they were new. They hit the bottom of their depreciation curve around late 2015, now climbing in value ever since. I see a similar trajectory for the M2, since it will always be relatively rare, and at some point, will be discovered by more enthusiasts.
