I have 3 cars that don't see the light of day from November to April or May. My wife reminds me of that fact often.

Very true. I live in NNJ and also have my car on a tender for half of the year. I will crack 3k on the odo as soon as she is on the road. Im at 28xx miles...

I rescued my wife from NNJ. There's still hope for you.

I bought mine in October of 2023 with 2400 miles. Already at 5k, first thing I did was go to Tail of the dragon which added 2k miles. I believe after driving my 991TT and 991.2 GT3 6mt this was my favorite car ever driven at the Tail.

^ it can be pushed to it's limit easier on the street that's for sure. She is tail happy and has GOBS of torque. Steering is really nice, handles the bumps with composure. Nice tech inside and can fit more than a weekend bag. A lot to like about the M2 CS compared to a 911 that's for sure.

$100k, $105k with fees

Boom! The CS is a spectacular car and low mileage examples will always be coveted. The price reflects this.

[NPTM]

Was watching that today - solid price, especially w/o CCBs. Back to my point earlier, going to be a roller coaster ride with many variables driving price up/down/sideways on any given week...but I know one thing for sure...this is going to go down as one of the best drivers cars ever made, so as far as vehicle "investments" go, the CS was money well spent! She'll be in my garage forever, and I know many here feel the same!

Let’s see where this one lands, the last CS had a strong showing 💪

$81.5k w/ 5,000 miles

Wild swing from the last auction 19 days ago.

Same car other than the wheel color.

Went for 100k w/ 1400 miles

An $18.5k difference costing $5.14 per mile.

[Tornado1M]

Prices are honestly all over the place and make little sense to me now?

BAT is basically becoming a “any given day” type of market place.

You just don’t know what your going to get!

[mfarrzhp]

I don’t think the gold wheels give it a huge price delta, but they may help catch the eye of the right buyer. They are pretty striking, especially against Misano.

The big delta, as mentioned, is the mileage. Although 3600 miles is practically nothing, I could see the buyer of the 1,400 mile car putting it away for speculation. The buyer of the 5K mile car will probably drive it more regularly.

I’m slightly surprised how many low mile F87 CS cars are out there. Mine is the lowest I’ve ever had on any car I’ve owned for 3 years, and I still think my mileage is at or above the median.

[NPTM]

Agreed pricing is all over the place - so much volatility in BAT, and consumer sentiment generally is volatile right now. Basically tells me, if I was a seller I would set a realistic reserve and if I was a buyer I would get opportunistic and snipe deals (like this one was).

I also think a lot of cars are flooding the market right now as original buyer speculators exit, folks who actually like newer generations swap, and the economy softens...but I think this will be a short term dynamic. If the new M2 CS is auto only though, I'd expect the 6MT to start to deviate in value from the DCT.

CCB's also a big swing factor in valuations, but prob stating the obvious there.

[Syed///M]

I may be in the minority but I still think the DCTs will hold well although not as much as the 6spd obviously. It’s the last iteration of the Dct and the new ZF trans isn’t nearly as exciting to drive imo. The Dct was perfect in this car, and tuned appropriately.

[M3R1]

These are fun to watch as there is very little M2cs content these days. Mine is not going anywhere.

I think comments like this is another thing that will drive future value - folks who weren't planning on holding long-term are selling now...buyers getting into these things now are more likely to buy and hold for longer as they're opting for what this generation has to offer vs new, and that's something we wont see made new again. That will limit future supply, and demand will only go up for what's now a dying breed. Think of how many of these we have seen on BAT recently, and there are less than 600 of them in the US! That wave will recede, all while demand only goes up (IMO).

And on the DCT - agree, not saying it isn't special, it 100% is and I absolutely love it...I just think 6spd being increasingly rare / hard to find in cars like this (esp being the only manual CS ever) will lead to a notable premium. Just look at the Lime Rock Park M3s, ~15-20% premium for manual usually. Again, DCT is sick and special, I agree with you.

[NYNick]

It's still early. These cars are barely 4 years old. I think you'll see further price deterioration in the short term.

BMW is putting out "better" (on paper) high performance cars that many buyers seek. There are more of those types of buyers than people seeking or betting on future classics.

Give it time.

(I've been talking to BMW salesman all over the country trying to negotiate a new SUV. They always ask me if I'm a current BMW owner. When I tell them what I have, NONE of them even know what a M2 CS is).

[NPTM]

Hear you there, I'm not worried at all about long-term value of these cars...and to be honest, largely irrelevant for someone like me keeping it forever and loving every minute of it.

But a good proxy...S2000 CR is on BAT right now, 40K miles, already up to $60K which is $20K more than this car was new with taxes/fees...and still 6 hours to go. Similarly limited numbers as CS, similarly loved by enthusiasts, track-focused special limited production, etc...

[f87CSdrifterential]

let us see where this 13 year old 21k 1M lands that is currently at $46k MSRP with 2 days left

Hopefully a strong indicator of things to come

[Hedoniste]

In my country there are few for sale (<10 cars) and none in Misano Blue. They are priced between 75KUSD to 95KUSD depending the mileage.
I plan to keep mine for long because I love it and I think it looks stunning. It has 10k miles and the roof is OK for now lol.

[f87CSdrifterential]

Autotrader shows 18 nationwide in the USA ranging from $82k with 22k miles up to $117k with 1,100 miles.

It is all over the place.

With that many to choose from it’s bound to impact BaT final sale prices.

Yep, exactly!

The market is just all over the place and anything goes with no rhyme or reason.
