I think the availability of a manual is the stand out feature on the M2CS compared to the M4. I will buy one and I will drive it and only hope that my depreciation doesn't tank too much. This car will sell out and only the greediest of dealerships looking for huge markups will be left with any inventory. I think BMW priced this car accordingly given the sum of its parts and limited production. Is it a bargain? No. But it checks enough boxes for me as a fan of the brand.

I agree with many of your points. However, we all know the vast majority of cars depreciate, so it shouldn't be too much of a shock.
These are "irrational" purchases in the end. And as such, they're toys for the enthusiasts. Just enjoy it and if it goes up in value, that's just a bonus.
