Personally, I'm still in the market for a vehicle. Unfortunately, with factories closed, I'm unable to get one. Also the fact that I want to do PCD. Or maybe go for a Porsche instead with an increase in aggressive discounts. Who knows...
I believe you are right about the discounts coming for Porsches. The M2 can be a practical daily driver. Two seater Porsches are a different level of sports car that is much more expensive and much less practical for the average person. I'll be observing the Porsche CPO market closely going forward.
Thank you for your comments.

And you're 100% correct about Porsches being impractical. I did take a look at a Macan and to get the same specs as the M2C, I would move to a GTS that costs around $100K. Wow!

I also had a humbling experience today. My company will be eliminating all bonuses this year so it can maintain the workforce and especially paying our hourly employees even if they cannot work. Prior to this I was all on the Porsche bandwagon. But now I'm giving the M2C a second look. It is quick unbelievable as an all-a rounder. I don't plan to track this car, but will take it on spirited drives. All this for $60K is quite good (granted I understand $60K is still a lot of money). Although I don't need a daily, I still think the fun factor and usability fits well with my particular use case.

Now I just have to wait for BMW to announce the MY21 and have the factories open back up.
