If this is your M2CS for sale ....
I found this on carsales.com.au
The car is listed at $178k but in the body of the listing, it reads: This car represents great value at $170k If this is your car, you might like to change this to avoid confusion Lovely car by the way Check out this 2020 BMW M2 CS F87 LCI Manual. https://www.carsales.com.au/cars/det...SSE-AD-7418218

Interesting! 5 manuals and 2 DCTs for sale, very skewed considering that only ~36 of 84 were manual.
I wonder if the NSW lockdown is having a detrimental effect? But yes, a lovely car and those CCBs are a rare option. |

Wouldn't be surprised if the manuals were bought by speculators. Seeing how the 911R, GT3 manuals etc instantly commanded a premium one could think the same could apply to the CS. Especially because the M3/4 CS was criticised for being DCT only.

I'm also wondering if the MT was purchased as more of a 'driver's' option, and with the two most populous states of Australia being in lockdown, it would leave very little enjoyable driving to be done. |

There are three dealer-listed cars and three private listings. This tells me there are at least five people who bought the car, had their fun with it, and now are on their way with the next toy. I know one person who pulled his listing has bought another car (a wagon) and another is buying a Rolls Royce even if he doesn't know it yet - you know who you are This, in my humble opinion, is more the result of a disease called Auto-ADHD; you get bored of your toys quickly, and move on before the goldfish has a chance to ponder his memory issues

Yes I Also think some didn’t think through their Original Purchase
Quote:
First M2 Cs I looked at was a beautiful Missano Blue (Dct) M2 Cs Car with 7k km on it (Brisbane Bmw) and I asked the salesman why it was traded . The gentleman was elderly and he ordered and bought it from new . It turns out it was “too hardcore” for him and he traded it on a brand new M5 LCI . Frankly I was surprised that someone would do this but he had a history of doing this in the past as well . All this within just 6 months of ownership ! The Goldfish Affect is alive and kicking ! |

There are repeat stories of cars being received and then being too small or too intense. Still, some of us have benefited from that so can’t complain
Here’s an interesting thought: 6 listings is roughly 10% of the entire local stock |

The G80/82 is a far better car for the non enthusiast.
The M2CS is an absolute enthusiast's car. If that's not you then you'd sell it. |

They really need to drive the M2CS. It would press every one of their buttons and address their criticisms of M2C. |

$195K + on roads, what person of sound mind would pay this!! Once the Covid affect is history there'll be some buyers remorse |

When normality or worse returns to the car market (remember new M2C's driving away around 90K) there'll be remorse from both buyers who paid way too much and sellers who held out wanting too much. |

On my part at least, the only remorse is not having two of them; I really could have done with a DCT version as well Take a look at the M5CS - only 20 ever came to our shores. Three are up for sale ranging from $500k to $800k. What is asked seldom equals what is realised.

Though I'm still wondering why the over-representation of the manual trans in cars for sale. Could just be coincidence. |
