Nothing particularly rare about this M2. Price is about right though.

Maybe he just means its low mileage, tranny choice, and decent pricing isnt a common offering in the area? Who knows.. its Marketing.

He wants to sell his car. He is advertising using flashy words like rare when he means, the same as the rest.

Well, you don't see too many with a drilled front bumper, so I guess that's pretty rare.

Says his wife just drove it to work. Should have said his grandmother. This ad seems like bullshit.

"Automatics are hard to find." They sure are.

It's just an attention grabbing sales tactic. Dealers do this all the time with used cars.

Other than "Automatics are hard to find" being objectively false, it seems a reasonable price. BMWUSA has several used blue M2s and the vast majority are automatic

First of all the M2 was never build with an "automatic" transmission.

Only 713 2016 M2's were produced for NA, 615 for US, 98 for Canada.

Of the 615 2016 US M2's this is 1 of 143 2016 LBB with DCT and Exec Package (excluding preproduction)

as per this post

Whether that makes this "rare" is subject to interpretation.

For example the "rarest" 2016 M2's for USNA production were the 3 US 2016 Black 6MT without the executive package (EP) as well as 3 US 2016 LBB DCT without the EP.

I am not sure OP is aware of these numbers.
