Seems like good value for money to me, if you like the options BMW is bundling into the CS.
How come when I visit Rennlist I don't see 8,342 posts screaming about how "Porsche has screwed the pooch on this one. Cayman GTS is just a Cayman with some carbon fiber bits bolted on"? Or "Why the hell would anybody pay that premium when you can just get after market tune and carbon bits for a lower price"? Or "Anybody who would buy a Cayman GTS is a complete idiot"?
I get that everyone's got their own definition as to what "good value" is, but... damn! You read through some of these posts and if I didn't know any better, I would think that with the release of the M2CS, BMW has also decided to bomb forum members' ancestral homelands and murder forum members' pets.
Somebody else said it earlier, can't remember exact wording, but effectively sentiment was "Why are you so angry about the car? If you don't like it and don't think it's good value... don't buy it!"

Same. Value is always going to be at the bottom of the hierarchy, not the top. Cars built for niche markets and specific buyers arent going to be the ones that show value.
Not to mention, carbon fiber aint near as expensive as what they charge for it. margin is insane.
BMW isnt trying to show value, they are trying to price a car at a price point that 2k of them or whatever will sell. if they had to move 100k of them it wouldnt be priced at 85k+
