Keep in mind the exclusivity will be between you, a couple of other random guys that actually know what it is, and this forum. To everyone else you'll look like a wannabe racer (unjustified, but, people are ignorant) that overpaid for a two series.
If this is your cup of tea, by all means go for it. It's an amazing looking car with tasteful mods. But do not think that it won't depreciate like any other M2.
I would personally check out a 991 GTS CPO in this price range, but to each their own.

How will everyone know that you overpaid for it if only a select few will be familiar with what the car is, and the exclusivity associated with it? |
Because the first thing people ask the owner of a nice car is the price. When they hear near 100K all in, they're going to wonder why. As opposed to telling people you paid 100K for your Porsche, and them wondering how you got it so cheap.
This is my personal experience owning all M cars and different Porsches. I personally don't care what people think, but I'm addressing the exclusivity factor. People getting the CS for exclusivity would intend on flaunting the car. People that get it for the racing heritage, sportiness, drive-ability and the visceral feel won't care about anything I mentioned.
If you're getting this car for the second reason mentioned, good on you. If you're getting it for exclusivity, it will be an inevitable shit show. Indicator, M3CS.
