The M2 CS was repeatedly discussed on Bimmerpost (and other forums/websites), long before its official release early November 2019: power output, transmission, brakes, colors, wheels, etc. An example: February 2019 post (almost 2 years ago): Quote:
Most specs of the M2 CS were known long before the official release. But not everything that was heard through the grapevine, was also posted. Bonus: an M2 CS test mule in March 2019: still featuring an armrest, but already featuring the alcantara steering wheel and M2 CS seats (but not yet in full Merino Leather). Purpose of that scoop picture ? 6MT will be available on the M2 CS:

My 1M was a 3-season daily driver for its first 4 years and has become a track car. My CS will be a 3 season daily driver for as long as the 1M lasts, and will then "assume the position". The CS is replacing an X5 lease. With a reasonable downpayment, the monthly payment to purchase it at 0.9% isn't very far off from the lease I was paying. The enjoyment will far exceed that of the X5. I have my 4x4 tow rig for winter duty during the 2-3 months when it is cold enough to damage the PSS tires, but even then there will be a couple days every week warm enough to bring out the beast. My wife knows I work hard, and knows I love to drive. My 17 y/o son is doing track days with me, and she even tried one. She is excited for the CS to arrive and will be driving it also.

This is what it all comes down to. If there isn't enough passion for the car, you buy something else. If there is passion and desire to own but you don't have enough money....beg borrow and steal to get one.

I wonder how many of the "dealer" spec'd cars are DCT? I would think a vast majority would be as they wouldn't want to sit with a manual gearbox!

To buy higher priced cars easier, you basically need a higher down payment. Either with more cash down or trading in a recent car worth something. The higher the down payment, the lower your loan balance and monthly payment. |

Of course, and no one is disagreeing. If you didn't know the M2 CS was coming, you were not paying attention to BMW (or at least the F87) for a long time.

Dealers that specced DCTs either did it cause of their local client base, or i presume, wanting a higher sale price. |

Having said that, at 61k miles, modded, tracked, well sorted for track use, driver-quality car with some exterior blemishes . . . I could probably get 35-40k, maybe more if bought by a track rat who wanted all the extra's. It's a keeper, and I have already gotten my money's worth. I will definitely post a delivery thread and leave some room for comparisons over time.

I agree completely. It's even fun at low speed. I'm loving the manual.
ptgltw I was watching a youtube video about the LTWs that have exchanged hand. It was also talking about Paul Walkers collection. The video mentioned the auction occurred in January 2020. I then had the realization that when I was at a meeting in Scottsdale Arizona in January 2020 and we decided not to go to the Barret Jackson auto auction......This was the auction where these cars were located. lol I would have liked to see this collection.
