It has been driving me nuts, so I actually called the Chrysler dealership. The salesman is not a BMW SA, obviously, so he was not nearly as aware of all the 'goodies' discussed so frequently on this forum. In the end, he said he would have to call me back after he investigated and had accurate answers to all the questions. Here is what I can tell you he told me, other than what is obvious to our eyes and largely pointed out by you above. Please forgive any inaccuracies in the information I have obtained to date; I can only go by what I was told with noted caveat. By the way, thank you for taking the time. Non-smoker Carbon fiber roof and mirrors covers Aftermarket exhaust (uncertain if MPE?) Aftermarket suspension (uncertain of manufacturer/parts) Uncertain regarding any aftermarket tuning or engine/power train parts Uncertain, but believed the brakes were M Performance upgrade (not painted calipers). If/when I hear back from Chrysler salesman, I will update accordingly. ///AVM |

I'm sure they've been flooded with inquiries on the past few days. Someone needs to put down a deposit before the price starts going up.

At the dealer yesterday for an oil change - four M4 CS still on the lot - must be 6 months - all over 100K.
I asked one of the sales guys - just kinda threw up his hands and shook his head. |

M4 CS runs until feb I believe. In the next 6 months they will probably get another M4 or two and then their M2 CS allocation(s) will come in. When the loaded M2 CS hits the floor with a markup , they will be able to sell off their M4 and will probably do so to customers looking for the M2 CS. With 20k off an M4 CS .... or simply far better lease rates, the M2 again will be used to step customers over to an M4.

It's certainly interesting to me that they wouldn't just reward the enthusiast with a great car by selling more of them for a little less. The 1M was and still is popular largely due to the volume of people that could then and still can afford it. You can't build a cult following without a cult. The M2 CS will just wind up being Wikipedia fodder that no one cares about because they've never seen one let alone driven one.

Then they are a hat for everyone else. Meaning they have a car for just about every taste. Small, big, slow, fast, low end, high end ect. Lastly, they cater to the enthusiast. Unfortunately, just the way of the world these days. I guess we should just be happy they are still bothering with making cars like the M2cs |

I think business has forgotten how to create loyalty. Their charts merely show how to offset a loyalty decline. Hopefully the new head honcho helps reestablish brand loyalty. Downside is that it's gonna be electric boogie woogie woogie woogie

I'm saying for a company like BMW to still bother with putting out these type of cars is a positive given the general direction of the automotive industry. The reality is there are other brands that cater more to enthusiasts!......and maybe instead of bitching about what BMW did or didn't do, we should just look elsewhere if we are not satisfied with the offering. As these cars like the M3gts M3/4cs and M2cs don't do well in the market.........well, eventually BMW will just throw in the towel and not even bother spending the development dollars to bring them to market in the future. Maybe an eventuality if success is not found....and so far, not looking so great 😩 |

I'm not defending their pricing....I'm the first to say it seems high or there is no value ect. However, they are pricing it to cover costs and make a profit. They are a for profit company. So, if they can't manage to turn a profit on these limited special edition cars....they are simply not going to continue to make them. Simple economics! |

I'm irritated how BMW tries to do this. That ate a big piece of humble pie on the M4CS. There is a reason M4CS cars litter dealerships around the globe. Let's hope they learn their lesson. |

Don't get me wrong - Love everything about this car - it's the best of the entire generation but not for retail. For retail it's highway robbery. |
