Considering all of this, it will be a great buy for the future. Just my honest opinion on all of this.

This.
I'm sure that several M2 CS buyers already have a dedicated track toy and/or supercar. This is an opportunity to purchase from new a car that combines many of the things that made BMW an enthusiast brand to begin with. I'd go as far as saying that speccing the DCT is a mistake here- there are better and faster options. With the 6MT this will be very special now and in the future.
As per my post above, the "85k for a 2 series" comments miss the point of this car. Buyers for this car (especially those choosing to spec their rare car with a clutch pedal) don't really care about the price, they just want to add an amazing car to the fleet.
I often dream about what it would have been like to order a new E46 Competition or CSL back in the day and keep it forever. I see this as the closest I can get to living out that sort of fantasy today. |
I had an '05 IB E46 ZCP M3, and while it was/is my favorite car after the F82, it wasn't earth shatteringly different than the "
regular" '03 PY E46 M3 I owned prior to it. The driving experience was essentially the same, and aside from the BBS wheels, Interlagos Blue paint, brakes sourced from the CSL and the M Mode button on the steering wheel, it was the same car. There was no noticeable difference. The E46 CSL is an entirely different story however.
