https://www.bmwblog.com/2019/11/06/2...erent-markets/ There's better cars in that range, so looking forward to seeing the final pricing. Sub $85k would be very reasonable. Though I think in the US market they're going to have to contend with the C8 'vette, so that'll be interesting for every German sports car. Maybe we could expect a discount Last edited by mothertongue; 11-11-2019 at 06:49 PM.. |

This takes the M2 from a semi-affordable car guy fun car to hmm, maybe I should just spend the another $20k on a 911 territory. |

Don't think the CS is worth the premium (even though I want one). The M2C stole most of the CS thunder by getting the S55. I imagine the CS reception would be off the charts if the M2C never happened (and non-CS M2s still had N55). Premium would've been more justified for such a special car.

Honestly, you nailed it! In a nutshell, the S55 engine is what makes the M2C so special . . . for $60K. For the everyday driving enthusiast, the S55 was such a gift that it almost seems like BMW made a mistake when they released it. ///AVM |

Had the M2 jump in price from 55k to the CS prospective 85k sticker price, simply because it has a S55, it would of been a harder pill to swallow for most its target demographics. Also, BMW would of never recoup the cost they were able to offset with sales of M2C and as a result, probably not bother with designing a CS variant, from scratch. Ever successive model it's relative to its predecessor. |

Yes again . . . keep nailing down the core component as to why the M2C is so successful. BMW gave the M2 the M3/4 engine for next to no up-charge. This is all the more the reason - if not THE reason - the M2CS has very little appeal to me when viewed in comparison to the M2C. $25K+ jump in price with the same engine. For the record, the M2 does not need any 'more' engine, and doubt BMW will ever 'give away' the S58 in any M2 model . . . aside from fact that the M2 does not need the S58, it would leave them high and dry with the M3/4 models. BMW cannot put the horses back in the barn when it comes to the M2CS . . . small price to pay for the wild success of the M2C. ///AVM |

Looks like it will be 30% increase on M2C down here. Gave them some cash I am on the list. 50/50 whether there's any chance of getting one. The great about already owning the M2C is that it is a que sera sera.

In the end what matters is the price that you got to fork out in real life for this BMW 2-Series car. BMW, sorry to burst your bubble, but the M2 CS is over-priced. "2200 cars limited edition" = smart ///Marketing. Learning from not labelling the M3 CS and M4 CS 'limited edition': 1263 M3 CS built (out of production now) and 2043 M4 CS built (June 2019 figure - still produced - 3000 were scheduled). 1383 E46 M3 CSL were built and that €85K car wasn't labelled 'limited edition' either. So, 'limited edition': what's in a name ?

It is not so much what the M2CS is not, rather, what the M2C is . . . relative steal with its performance (S55 engine) at the $60K price point.
No pun intended when I stated BMW ‘cannot put the horses back in the barn.’ Nonetheless, as stated by Artemis, exclusivity associated with the limited release (‘limited edition’) M2CS is just about the only marketing approach BMW can take in moving the ‘spruced up’ M2 model at $25K+ projected price over the M2C. The M2C is simply an amazing performance car for the price. . . the M2CS is not. ///AVM |

If the M2 CS was 300 lbs lighter than I can see $20-25k price difference would be justified. The M2 CS weighs the same as the M2 Comp even with the carbon fiber bits, this is really disappointing.
I am definitely holding back and waiting for these to be discounted like the M4 GTS and M3/M4 CS vehicles.

Before you guys start complaining about the price of the CS, maybe you should wait and see if you're even privileged with the opportunity to purchase one.
I understand that 85k is a lot of money for a vehicle but the M2 has a niche following and there is more than enough trust-fund babies, collectors, and 'coin-flippers' out there to eat up the limited market share of this ultra M2. So this dispute is kind of moot.. |

Not a big problem for BMW to sell CS models at discount.. They boost intererest in the brand, convert some new fanboys and probably cost less to make anyways

can't go wrong with the M2C
(we have a few left at invoice ) car is a little monster!! but of course if you can afford it, the CS would be pretty sweet.
