Good for us guys that want strippers though

True, true.... especially a loaded m235i/240i. Approximately 80% of m235i coupes on dealer lots at this very moment are stickered above $50k. Who wouldn't rather have a stripper m2 for the same money? I know I would.
If this pricing is legit, the only way the m235i coupe might make sense is if you can do a discounted, lightly-optioned ED car for around $40k. Otherwise, there's just not enough room between the two to NOT go with the m2... especially when the m2 is more likely to retain its value.
