$83-85k brings in a lot of other interesting options to consider.
Wonder if they will move anywhere near list price? If the M3/4 CS is any indication the answer is no. Will be interesting to watch as I am not a buyer of a $8ok + 2 series..... |

For all those who feel BMW is being unreasonable by pricing the M2 CS around 85k, just remember that's roughly what fully-equipped "base" M4 goes for..
What one man's budget is another guys starting price. Like I predicted; the CS will be sold out before they hit these shores.. |

The M3/4 CS has the wrong transmission and much higher production numbers. Very happy to see BMW build an exclusive enthusiast machine again, even if it is not long for this world. It is a nice break from crossovers and EV’s that have great 1/4 mile times but make me sleepy. As much as I’ve enjoyed reading the dismissive posts on here for the past few days, I think I’ll have to be very discreet when I take delivery of my CS. Hopefully find some positivity at car shows, etc. |

Just going to put in another perspective, the slow selling M4cs needed a big discount to move units (...from personal experience). You can actually pick up an M4cs for not much more than the MSRP of the M2cs if you can't get on the list for the M2cs, just throwing it out there.

Maybe I'm thinking about this all wrong, but I'm stuck on the Cayman S vs Cayman GTS -> M2C vs M2CS analogy. Every other post is decrying the fact that the M2CS doesn't weigh 50% that of the M2C. Or that the M2CS doesn't come with a brand new S58 engine. Or that the M2CS doesn't do your dishes, walk your dog, and also buy flowers for your wife on your anniversary because you sure as s*** forget every year. Unless I'm wildly mistaken, the Cayman GTS has same engine, same weight, and only 15 hp more than the Cayman S, yeah? And if I remember correctly, my buddy who owns one got in trouble with his wife recently, so clearly that stupid Cayman GTS somehow forgot to order the flowers too... stupid car! If I didn't already have an M2C, I would totally get the M2CS! Misano blue with gold wheels too!!! (Unfortunately, I forgot the anniversary, and am prohibited from buying by the wife as a result.) |

Thanks, but my eyes focus and zoom in on something else than the weave:
Result: this USA M2 CS 'Fotofahrzeug' (Photo Vehicle - code 903) on display at the L.A. Auto Show got manufactured on Aug 14, 2019: I just added it to the European M2 CS photo vehicle (manufactured on March 22, 2019) (see here).

I owned a 718GTS for a while, sold it very quickly. It was depressing to rev hard. I also owned an F80 ZCP. Loved the motor and manual, hated the size. I’m hopeful the CS is the happy medium. Mine will see lots of miles! I also have allocation for a Spyder but hearing the new motor and lack of exclusivity make that less appealing for me. Plus, when I need my Porsche fix, I’d rather take my air cooled for a drive. The way I see the CS isn’t as it compares to any other brand, but how it combines a bunch of desirable BMW ingredients in an obtainable package. I just see 450hp, manual, compact, straight 6, exclusive beautiful BMW...sold. IMO the modern GT3 Touring is like that on the Porsche side. It is what it is. |

Perhaps BMWUSA is just waiting to surprise us with a Black Friday discount

However, I don't know if, technically, it will come with the executive package It should come with some of the current executive package features such as Adaptive LED headlights Speed Limit Info But probably not others such as Wireless charging and WiFi hotspot Heated steering wheel |
