BMW taking deposits for the M2.

My SA called me today saying that they're now taking deposits for the M2. He didn't have any other info other than that... Just an FYI if this is new news.

I've been told that there's really no need to worry until Jan 2016, and I trust him because he's got experience ordering cars. This would be for the first ED people.

Are you looking at an M2 as well?

Any lists or deposits you may have now while nice to have aren't anything official until the order banks are opened.

I've had my deposit down for some time. It's comforting to be number one on the list

Me too. I seriously adore the E92 and still have no plans to get rid of it. I'm really hoping a stripper M2 is "reasonably" priced so that I can have both.

Had my deposit in since Halloween. Getting a bit worried about the weakening Canadian dollar as that could significantly effect the price of the M2. Hope it isnt anymore that upper 50's in Canadian dollars.

Then you've got a hell of a lot to hope for. A loaded M235 here is approx. $62k CDN list price and if you think an M2 will be cheaper....think again.

Secure the first M2 order spot from my dealer when I bought the M235i in March. Told them I would only lease the M235i if they promise me the first M2 order allocation when it comes. They said I can walk away clean from the lease as soon as the M2 comes if I keep the miles under 7500 a year and car in excellent condition. Had to pay a little more for the lease but knowing I will be one of the first to get an M2 was worth it.

Ten months into the lease and sitting at 3450 miles has me well on target to getting a new M2 come early 2016 (or sooner). I just hope the purchase price won't be over the top.

Unlikely bmw will set m car based on a full load m235. A base 235 is $45k, a m4 is $75k, average that and you come to $60k. I will be ok for a stripper model at around $60k Canadian. I want very few options on mine, just metallic paint and perhaps upgraded stereo, 19 inch wheels/tires. If it comes in at 65k I will reconsider and just buy a nice preowned 1M or Cayman S. Nice alternatives.

That's incredible and very smart of you to think of when negotiating. What dealership did you use?

Well I still think you're going to need one big horseshoe for an M2 at $60 CDN. Your met. paint will be a standalone option but you probably know BMW and their goofy "packaging" requirements.....which your radio and wheels might fall into. Wish you luck anyways!!

19 inch wheels have been rumored to be standard

Being as we're in the same area & u have the exact color combo I want, I'd be more than happy to purchase ur car once u trade it in for an upgrade, if its a manual.

I agree,my guess is that a fully loaded M2 in Canada will be around
$72,000 CDN.

I tend to keep my cars in very nice shape with no marks inside or out and low mileage. I suspect the dealer will be asking for a premium on the resale with the low mileage.

Many interior upgrades have been added that will be removed before the trade (M Performance Interior, Steering wheel, Exhaust, grills, and BMW all-weather mats) that will either be sold or installed in the new M2 if applicable. The interior of the M235i will have the original interior reinstalled with only a few hundred miles of use on them. Somebody will be getting a used M235i that looks new inside and out.

That's a great idea I should mention this to my SA so I can get first dibs on the M2!

I don't see how those won't be stand alone options, just IMO. The only thing I'm somewhat concerned about would be the LED headlights. Right now, they go for $1900 as part of the Lighting Package here in the US. But on the X5/6M's, they are part of the Premium Package, which is $4500. If that's the case, I'll skip.

But I fully expect HK to be standalone. For me: Metallic paint, HK, LED if possible, 18" wheels, no sunroof, cloth seats, 6MT. No interest in any packages

Don't see how it would be IMHO. We've seen M2 test cars with 18" wheels, not to mention the 19s aren't even standard on the M3/4.

Not a big deal for me though, I plan on just sticking whatever is free as knowing me, I'll probably end up getting wider aftermarket wheels anyway.
