Well there's this thread. I think there are some still available.
https://f87.bimmerpost.com/forums/sh....php?t=1687092 Then there's this group buy thread. https://f87.bimmerpost.com/forums/sh....php?t=1683816 I managed 5% off but I bought my M2C in September 2018! |

I care about DCT. By the way, the M2 CS is rumored to be the M's last DCT. There will be a manual in G Series M2/M3/M4 but no DCT just ZF8 automatic.

I was making an assumption that the CS would retain "classic" status and the reasons I juxtapose both vehicles is because they're are limited-production, highly sorted out vehicles, than edges on the end of era to the F-series generation, before they start a new one - for better or worst. I know the only two vehicles in BMWs history that actually appreciated in value was the Z8 & 1M. Hard to say if the M2 CS would retain the same esteem but I believe it has a decent chance. |

Whereas limited production should help the CS. Plus I can't see the G87 base M2 being that more powerful than the F87 CS. The G87 CS may but that is probably not coming out until 2025 or so. |

Akkando appears to be partially right on this one. Despite having a limited run of only 500, the M3 CS has not increased in value. However the frustrating part is due to the limited nature, actually finding a M3 CS within driving distance of you. There are some used M3 CS that are advertised as a CS but are mis-labeled and are not a CS. So while a limited production CS may not increase in value, good luck finding one if you don't buy new during the limited time it is being produced.

Once again . . . the M2C is the M2CS, and has been every since European emission laws forced BMW to throw the S55 engine into the M2.
M2C owners would have still been VERY pleased with the N55 engine and all the other Competition 'bells and whistles' . . . as I suspect was every bit BMWs original intention. No coincidence the M3/4 big brothers are about to be released with the S58 engine right around the time the M2CS is being released. In a perfect and previously planned world, BMW would have introduced the S55 engine in the M2CS. Not only giving the M2CS a true performance jump over the M2C, the engine jump would have come close to justifying the $30K+ price hike - and not step on the M3/4 big brother toes with their concomitant S58 release. In the end, the M2C has been an absolute performance steal with the intended M2CS S55 engine. In contrast, the 'official' M2CS is just a few more bells and whistles at an exorbitant price. I cannot imagine the enthusiasm this forum and the automotive world would have if the S55 were being released as intended in the official M2CS? Oh wait, I can imagine . . . it is exactly why the $60K M2C is so wildly popular. ///AVM |

In March 2016 the UK's CAR magazine tested the M2 upon its launch and stated that there was a CS in development at that time. This would appear to corroborate the above post by Artemis. As I'm sure the model in development at that point would not take 4 years to reach fruition?

In a day and internet age when it is easy to be bold and derogatory behind a keyboard, I have done my very best to be constructive and open-minded about the upcoming official release of the M2CS.
As part of such attempt I have tried to redirect my views and energies in a positive manner toward the M2C (aka M2CS v1). What a vehicle!! As this thread lingers forward I apologize, but I simply cannot hold back any longer. . . The M2CS v2 at $30K+ over the M2CS v1 is a complete rip-off! There, I finally said it! What is particularly sad is the most common and, apparently, only reason most anyone would pay the unwarranted $30K+ premium is for 'exclusivity.' Seriously?! That is pathetic! As per my prior post, nobody would blink an eye if the intended N55 M2C was $55-60K and S55 M2CS was $85-90K. BMW would have TWO home runs. Actually, even under such circumstance, I think $85-90K for the M2CS is still too steep, but would not consider it a complete heist. Instead, BMW hit a grand slam (M2CS v1) . . . and is about to follow it up with a three-pitch strikeout (M2CS v2)! ///AVM |

I think anytime "value" is used in a comparison it's easy to come to the conclusion that a significantly more expensive option is the lesser of the two. Why do folks continue to purchase a Ferrari when a Corvette Z06 is just as quick. Is a 5M Bugatti 3M better than the 2M Bugatti. Clearly there are some that think its a worthwhile purchase.
I've read that the M2CS just isn't worth the increase in price due to marginal improvement. I then read in another thread how much superior the m3/m4 adaptive suspension is for ride quality compared to the M2, but the M2 is more fun Well, that's interesting. Imagine if the two were combined. Oh wait..... |

Now I'm not saying it makes $30,000 worth of sense, but there are other factors in that price. Hell, I don't think the car is worth what they're asking for it, but consider the M2C for a second. Now consider adding on nicer leather, different interior finish panels, new suspension, a tune, wheels, tires, carbon aero, carbon roof, etc. What would all that run, probably north of $15k. You get all of that WITH a warranty with the CS, while also getting a 1 of 2200 car. BMW sales and marketing know more than you and I both, so I'm sure they did their research. Would they really sell a marked up M2C with some aero bits for $25-30k more without doing 0 market research...? Come on now. |

Cars depreciate like crazy so buying a limited production car should slow depreciation down. Some like myself only buy/finance cars, so we need our cars to be worth more dollars in trade in value to reduce the cost of the future car's loan. Lastly I'm not sure why people continually post messages knocking down a car they have not driven, have not seen one review yet, and are not interested in. Is it just an attempt to make themselves feel better? I aspire to one day own a 911 but I don't go on Rennlist and call 992 911's overpriced, etc. just because I can't afford one currently. If I still want one, I will one day budget dollars to be able to finance one. I won't bash it or say it is overpriced simply because I can't afford it. |
