I'm not sure about you but taking 30 seconds to put a simple post up on a forum with people who own them, are putting deposits on them, who work at dealerships is a far better use of my time then spending an hour looking myself. If we were all paying Idaho cost of living none of us would worry about our car expenses.... |

As to relying on internet forum posts made by people you do not know, who post under pseudonyms . . . . you will get information that is worth (approximately) what it costs you.

People talk on this forum as though the M2 is the next "classic" BMW M-car. Maybe it is, and maybe it isn't. But anyone who knows squat about collectible cars knows that for the collector, the less options on the car, the better. Collectors will pay MORE for a car without a sunroof ("slicktop"), and without most any other option you can think of. All of this added on crap, over time, becomes either obsolete, rattles, leaks, breaks, or in some cases most or all of the above. You can pretty much bank on the fact that many dealers will be loading up their M2C cars with as much fat as they can heap on the chassis, knowing that there is probably someone who will buy it, at least initially. If the purchase of an M2/M2C is such a head-scratcher for you, then maybe your gut is telling you that you shouldn't buy it. Getting over-extended on an elective car purchase, especially if we go into recession, is not a good position to be in.

I followed the used M5 market in Canada and I observed a noticable drop since the new Gen M5 hit the street.
Prime exemple seem less affected but the higher mile cars or with accident history dropped a couple of K's faster in the last 2 months than all previous year. Personnaly I'm just waiting for the used M2's to drop in the 40's. (CAD) to grab one.

Even with the current savings for the 2018s, the 2019 M2C is going to land in my garage because:
1. It's about the cost of ownership. Not what you paid. That difference I think will be considerably less than $10K. Perhaps $5K (or less with European Delivery). 2. The M2C should be the better car. I will be thinking "what if" every time I see one. 3. I always want to buy the best car I can, balancing budget, needs, and desires. The M2C fits that bill for me. Discount is secondary - at least for my fun car. For my DD, cost of ownership is top, or near top. 4. The M2C SHOULD be better for modding, tracking, etc. - in case I ever want to go that route. 5. I rarely factor the price I paid into what a car will be worth. It's like a stock - value is what I can sell it for now, not what I paid for it. Different stocks, different values - different cars, different values. The above are just what I think for myself. Naturally, the folks who got a 2018 thought differently. Bottom line is - we should all be happy. Because anyone buying now is in a great position to choose whichever car they want - a 2018 off the lot at discount, or a 2019 M2C to order. And once the 2018s are gone, you can get something used if you really want a 2018 (or 2019 at discount). Bottom line 2 - once you get a car, you should avoid threads like this. Because your options suddenly have become more costly. I never really understood why people ask "how did I do?" - you're really inviting some in the mirror feedback. There will ALWAYS be someone who got a better deal, or disagreed with what you did. Not entirely useful. |

I’m waiting for that same exact build for around that same price. This will be my first time buying, please let me know if and when you see them going around that price. I’ll try to do the same.

I've bought a lot of slightly used BMWs at the 2 and 3 year mark, and finding a lightly used car optioned the way you would have bought it is usually a lot harder than it seems it would be.

when i bought my 1M i had 12 cars to choose from in all of the U.S. I narrowed it down to 2 cars and started driving to the one i wanted most 2 hours away. On that drive i called the 'other' one i was interested in and said "hey listen i'm driving to buy a 1M; what's the best you can do on yours". This resulted in a massive negotiation war on the phone between 2 dealers and eventually i ended up buying the one i wanted most (the one i was driving to) after driving the price down by phone....it was one of THE most enjoyable days for me....just dream-like to get what i really wanted and to get it so free of drama. Within 24 hours i had made a decision to buy it, got on the road with no definite or pre-determined plan, and ended up buying the car i loved and drove it home. A perfect day really. buying cars should be enjoyable as much as it should be financially practical. If someone sits around wondering so much; it's just time wasted really. Life is short----enjoy whatever parts of it you can. my advice for living in the moment???? the M2 is NOT rare. it won't ever make you any money. you want one? GO BUY ONE you can afford. drive the shit out of it. Enjoy it....deal with tomorrow when tomorrow comes.

I think lots of people took this post the wrong way.
IDGAF what the car is worth in 1, 2, 5, 10 years, 5 ,10 100k miles later, I just wanted to know how quickly and how severely you thought the prices on M2's would be effected by the M2C. I have been offered a brand new M2 for sub 53k, so I'm going to find the car I want, loaded with sub 20k miles in the net few months for around that 40-45 mark and I'm stoked about that |

I see the 16’s being an upper $30k range car in next 6 months. Essentially the used car market is driven by auction prices and trade in values. Then dealers price their cars from there to make a certain profit. Realistically right now, dealers at most will give $35-$37k on trade in for 2016(average mileage example). I definitely see this trending downward in coming months.

no questions, that holds true for any brand. Newer model comes out with diff engine will put pressure on the previous model year in term of value/price.
That's why it's silly to compare M2 to 1M, the latter never gets an updated engine (if it did, the older 1M would drop in value as well). |
