BMW played the long game with this car. How many collectibles have 50-year stockpile of spare parts? Almost none. For a long time the 1M was the only short wheel based compact coupe sports car. However, with the introduction of the M2 the 1M became much less unique because the M2 is nothing else than the modernized version of the 1M with a better everything except transmission and steering. 1M still is a rare and desirable car but just not THAT unique anymore. It went from extremely special to kinda special in my eyes. Not too sure if the M2CS will be that great. Based on what they changed from the M2C, I feel like you wouldn't really notice much difference. The bulk of the 20-30k premium is pretty much spent on exterior and interior cosmetics.

Having driven many M2s now I'd say the 1M is still totally unique. I know several who own both and all of them say the same about the 1M. It is one of a kind. I was speaking to a BMW exec last year who told me "there will never be anything else like the 1M" That being said the M2 is a great car by far the best current BMW.

And, the new Top Gun trailer just makes me want to see the original again. Tom Cruise to too "grown" this time around. But I'll reserve judgment, until I see it. |

I'd love to get a 718 Cayman. I actually prefer the turbo engine over the old naturally aspirated six. Those cars get very little love, so I can probably find a great deal on a lightly used one in a couple of years, especially if they start to go back to the six again as rumored. |

Model S - (daily) - On my 2nd Model S (75D). I daily an EV going on 6 years. Model S - No issues, no maintenance. Handles as good or better than German contemporaries. Acceleration is brilliant. The on-board tech is sublime. I have not used it on a trip, would use wife's ICE SUV for that. If it was an only car with no other alternative. I might stick with an ICE for now. My feeling is that ICE to EV's is what Horses were to ICE 100 years ago. It IS the future. So, embrace it. I have a deposit down on a Taycan. I will reserve judgement until it is out on the market. 1M - I have to admit that I purchased the 1M last year because my millennial son said it was going to be a future collectible. After about 2,500 miles , it is truly a great drivers car. No, it is not the fastest car but it puts responsiveness and handling together so well. I cannot see replacing it with anything in that price range Z8 - Just a fantastic GT, bespoke bits, S62 engine - so great. I find myself just staring at it in the garage. No more expensive to maintain than E39 M5. All engine parts readily available. Arguably, better looking than any Ferrari from the last 20 years & much rarer to see on the street today. I am not a car collector. I do not fret about the value. They are cars, & mean't to be driven & if somewhat valuable, carefully curated. The best I hope for is that they will not suffer deep depreciation. If I ever tire of them (not likely) If get what I paid for them or more. I'll call that a win. |

Get the car that appeals to you, and if it happens to hold decent value, then that is an added bonus, IMO. If, I had to guess— M2 CS will probably hold more value than other F87 variants, but if production is limited it will be expensive from the start and a possible CSL type of model for “NA only” seems possible. It is difficult to quantify how much values will hold, with so many variables. Long after your purchase, time will tell what F87 was the best value: OG, M2C, M2CS, M2CSL? |

This was on the homepage awhile back as info from an insider. August 2019 One more F87 M2 model is possible. Just looking at timing, it should be something very special, with a very short production run. And it will be US only. Here is the thread.... https://g20.bimmerpost.com/forums/sh...d.php?t=901686 |

If there were a CSL, there would be more than one more F87 model and we know the CS is a special, short production run model. Looks like the CS may be US only. |
