Nice find. Now we wait on price and (un-)availability.

IMO, we won't see that again. At least not for a car that BMW plans out. The 1M was a very unique circumstance. You could almost consider it an accident. Look at the M4 GTS. There's a car that won't depreciate like the rest of the line-up, but you need $150k and solid connections to get your hands on one.

It seems probable that we'll see the S55 in some variety of M2 at this point, but I think the guys hoping to see it in the MY2018 base car are dreaming a little big. Putting the S55 in the M2 presents two challenges for BMW
1) It is a more expensive motor to produce. The big cost being the extra turbo. The S55 also has more expensive parts in it than the upgraded N55. 2) M4 market protection. The M2 is already chomping at the heels of the base M4. BMW will tell you all day long that the M2 is targeted at a different buyer, but the problem isn't that M4 buyers will purchase an M2 instead, it is that your average M4 buyer (who is never going to tap the car's performance anyway) will be frustrated with BMW and go to another brand. I'd expect to see the S55 in some sort of special edition M2, which BMW will price starting somewhere above $90k.

I'm not stating the CS will be cheaper but I don't reckon it's going to be as expensive as some folks make out. BMW have still got to sell them afterall. |

I'm throwing caution to the wind and cancelling my M2 order tomorrow and waiting for this. In the meantime I'll buy an M140i .. the want is real for an S55 M2

Not frustrating if it's going to be 10's of thousands more $$.

I don't find this unfeasible because the M2 and M3/4 are very different cars, that attract different segments of buyers. The guy who wants a bigger car, needs back seats for kids, wants premium materials etc, will not get an M2.
In my mind the size is the biggest thing and overall looks. For that reason, the M2 will not cannibalize M3/4 sales, as it will be detuned anyway, and the overall packages are very different. |

The thing I don't get it is why they have camo on this car. If it had no markings, it would be much more invisible in plain site as the M2 has already been released.

Just a guess, but probably in some meeting room at the BMW M HQ in Garching: "Let's put some camo tape over it and it will be picked up by the interwebs in no time. Let the hype commence".
