Are you sure?
And why so many cars for Belgium?

Belgium + Luxembourg:
- initially 45 M2 CS cars out of 2200;
- subsequently increased to 100;
- finally increased to 131 because of high garnered interest.
By the time of the official M2 CS release early November, BMW Belux disclosed in a brief
video interview that 76 out of 100 had been "reserved" and the remaining 24 were expected to be soon spoken for. It was recommended "to be quick if you wanted one".
Fast forward in time and I heard through the grapevine a few weeks ago that 90 out of 131 had been spoken for (41 still available back then).
I don't know the current figure but earlier this week someone asked BMW at the Brussels Auto Show whether all 131 allocations are spoken for in the meantime: "No".
So demand is not outstripping low 'limited edition' supply over here. There is a difference between garnered interest and signed orders. Needless to say that the ambitious price-point for the M2 CS (base price difference between M2C and M2 CS = €31.5K or 48.5% extra, and big discounts are currently offered for M2C widening the price-gap even further over here) is key to explain why the M2 CS is not sold out yet to customers and dealers over here. And about discounts: ask and thou shalt receive. Actually, if an M2 CS would be sold at MSRP over here, the customer must have forgotten to ask for a discount.
