Not any negotiating happening in that environment.

Time will tell how the demand is for the CS. All of the sporty 2 series starting with the M235i then the M2 and then on to the M2 Competition were all launched with great fan fair and proceeded to have a short supply for at least 6 months. Many dealers were demanding prices over MSRP only to offer discounts later on. Now the CS is launched.... we'll see what happens. |
You're correct, all initially 2 series model lineage all had a initial high demand, when they were now introduce to the market.
The M235i, in early 2014, was marked-up because as I was told by my dealer; it's a "niche" model..
And the M2, I remember I was blowed away by it's $51,700 base price, which was the BMW bargain of the decade IMO but the dealer had only one, on the showroom floor, with a few cosmetic bits, proudly adorning a $65,000 price tag.. As if 
I suspect the M2 CS will sell out for sticker because of the limited units. There are a lot of people that believe that this model would recreate the supple/demand jackpot, like what happen with the 1M.
Who knows, maybe it will..  :
I doubt the dealer's will discount the CS much, if any, when there is only 500 available, in the whole country of 325 million people.
To be honest, I like it and although it a lavish expense, if I could of swing it, I would throw my hat in the ring, to get me one. |
There is no logic to this being similar to the 1M when it comes to depreciation. The 1M was similar to nothing and last if hydraulic steering. The m2cs is similar to other m2 vehicles and last of nothing anyone cares about (DCT).
