You are taking the risk that they will all be sold out. The M2 is the most popular M.

As for the Porsche Cayman GT4 ... "it is a naturally aspirated variant bored and stroked to 4.0 litres - The result is 414 horsepower—up 49 on the turbo four found in the Cayman GTS—and 309 lb-ft of torque. The GTS, hits its peak at 1900 rpm and carries it to 5500. And the GT4/Spyder engine's power peak is at 7600, 2100 rpm higher than the turbo four's."

Again, there is a risk that all of the allocations are snatched up by dealer orders with the waitlists. Each dealer will probably only get 2 -3 cars the most. And again, the M2 is the most popular M. And finally, $83K is $15K less than the M3 CS. There is a decent chance they will be all gone and not on dealer lots.

Yes, I was merely listing some MSRPs
However, one needs to take into account painting and installation costs Personally, I would much rather have it done at the factory (especially the roof) Furthermore, the carbon fiber parts appear to be CS specific (apart from the mirror caps and rear diffusor) Then there is also a bunch of other stuff unique to the CS and I have no idea what they might cost such as the M adaptive suspension, Merino leather seats, CF center tunnel, alcantara pieces, slightly different exhaust, better tune, etc. In the end, it all really depends on how one intends to use the vehicle and budget If you want the adaptive suspension, a more powerful factory tune, love carbon fiber and don't intend to do many, if any, mods or cost isn't really an object then the CS might be the right choice Nevertheless, I do think the base M2 C gives you more "bang for your buck" |

Have you driven an Audi TTRS? Or any TT for that matter? Audi's driving characteristics don't compare to BMW and the TTRS is basically their attempt at making a sporty subcompact. Would compare the tts to an M2..?

As commented, dealers and coin-flippers learn from their experiences. For example my dealer: still got an M4 CS and M4 GTS for sale. Those cars get lots of looks, but no-one buys. And as no customer asked for an M3 CS, he did not order one. Therefore my assumption that the same is gonna happen for the M2 CS: most dealers will refrain from ordering it (shelling out a nice lump of cash), except if they got signed orders or if they plan to keep the car for the dealership.

M3CS doesn't have a manual option so expect a premium for that despite it being standard on the M2CS

The price is right!! I honestly thought it would be upwards of $100k msrp from what we've seen with Euro spec prices possibly starting at €95,000 (yeesh). With a nice list of upgrades, this vehicle is very enticing if the $83,600 number is accurate.

Have you? Not only is it quicker, it's more comfortable. If you track your M2, or want a stick shift, I understand why you won't even consider a TTRS. But if you just want a small, fast, small german sports car to drive every day and you can't afford a 911 the TTRS is really compelling.
