Wonder if they will move anywhere near list price? If the M3/4 CS is any indication the answer is no.
Will be interesting to watch as I am not a buyer of a $8ok + 2 series.....

Based on early US allocation projections, and assuming a 50% 6MT take rate, you’re looking at potentially less than 200 manual transmission M2 CS in the entire country. Those will all be pre-sold and won’t ‘sit’ anywhere but in owners’ garages.
The M3/4 CS has the wrong transmission and much higher production numbers.
Very happy to see BMW build an exclusive enthusiast machine again, even if it is not long for this world. It is a nice break from crossovers and EV’s that have great 1/4 mile times but make me sleepy. As much as I’ve enjoyed reading the dismissive posts on here for the past few days, I think I’ll have to be very discreet when I take delivery of my CS. Hopefully find some positivity at car shows, etc. |
Ha! Gotta hide the car from other forum members!
Maybe I'm thinking about this all wrong, but I'm stuck on the Cayman S vs Cayman GTS -> M2C vs M2CS analogy. Every other post is decrying the fact that the M2CS doesn't weigh 50% that of the M2C. Or that the M2CS doesn't come with a brand new S58 engine. Or that the M2CS doesn't do your dishes, walk your dog, and also buy flowers for your wife on your anniversary because you sure as s*** forget every year. Unless I'm wildly mistaken, the Cayman GTS has same engine, same weight, and only 15 hp more than the Cayman S, yeah? And if I remember correctly, my buddy who owns one got in trouble with his wife recently, so clearly that stupid Cayman GTS somehow forgot to order the flowers too... stupid car!
If I didn't already have an M2C, I would totally get the M2CS! Misano blue with gold wheels too!!!
(Unfortunately, I forgot the anniversary, and am prohibited from buying by the wife as a result.)
