Good luck with that strategy when there is a line of people waiting for that single monthly allocation.

With any other car, I'd be prepared to negotiate but it was basically a take it or leave it offer with the 1M. There were others in line behind me. I'd be surprised if anyone got even 2 or 3% off on that car.

CANADA -220? UK - 400 Most of that " world wide , was exactly that." There were around 366 US BMW DEALERS back in 2010. Each dealer received one car for sure and dealers that sold lots of M cars and/or 1 series models got additional cars. Not saying it didn't happen but I'm not aware of any US dealer getting more than about 5 allocations for the 1M. |

When buying a Honda Accord. Yes. When buying a 320/328/335.. Yes. When buying a limited production model .. NO. I don't mean to offend *you* but It's a Sellers market. If the M2 production is in any way limited like the 1M was... You won't be dictating to the dealer. $500 off on the 1M was a helluva deal. Getting a car at MSRP was not even normal as many dealers were adding 2k, 5k, 10K and even 20-30K market adjustment on the coasts. Getting euro delivery MSRP was also rare. ASK ME HOW I KNOW. |

I guess you've already bought into the fantasy the M2 is a limited production car. It's not. It's a "series car" meaning it going to be produced for a number of years to come. Here is a limited production car and how a limited production car is marketed:http://www.6post.com/forums/showthread.php?t=1173192
This is the wrong attitude for negotiating, IMO. When it comes to your money, you should always be prepared to dictate. If you insist on looking at the past as prelude to the future, you're playing right into the dealers hand. I was offered ED when I put money up for an M2. Bottom line, with the M2, it's a new ballgame. |

The 1M was limited to supply constraint within the 1 year it was produced. They planned for around 60 cars per month at the factory, which fluctuated based on the demand of the regular 1-series and X1. The only country that had a set number of production cars was the UK which was 450. Every car produced for the UK came tagged with its production number 1-450 on it somewhere.

My guess would be that the 2-series as a whole will be built until ~2020 (given the build time of the 1-series coupé). Are there any indications that M2 production will be significantly shorter (besides the later launch date)? |

Incorrect. LCI comes out in summer 2017 and production goes until 10/2020 (per the OP of that thread).

Interestingly, as an example, the E36 was built from 1992-1999 where the M3 was built towards only one end of its 8 year-ish lifespan. Bmw sandwiching the M2 is sensible because it allows time to usher in something new, and allowing something like a performance version of a Mini platform in between. Kind of like a nice transition or pass. 7 years of the existing 2 series sounds about right. We aren't talking about 1990 500SL, NSX type category where we have 10+ years of plopping them out of the factory. |

The New Car Sales manager at the BMW Dealer I work for confirmed to me that there
will only be 200 or so M2's sold to Canada. He said it was roughly the same number as the 1M when it was released. Already Got my name and deposit on the waiting list for the M2 |
