The reason - every one of the supercars was so high in performance that at low speeds they were not very interesting. So you had to push them hard to get them to be lively, or run out the engines to get the personalities to come out. So you either are doing dangerous and illegal things on the street, or running them at the track to do so. You end up with all this money wrapped up in a car that has little opportunity to actually be used to its full potential, AND there are cars that actually do the track side of things better and more easily maintained for the track. So it became an utterly "what's the point" aspect outside of the fashion and attention and "I can afford it" aspect that goes with the cars. Porsche and BMW have nailed the formula for tons of quality, performance, day to day usability, and track capability. There's a lot on the spectrum below it, and there are a lot of amazing cars. From Miata to GT2RS and everything in between... love them all for what they are. The CS is one of a number of really unique and special cars to be happy it exists alongside plenty of great other ///M's, P-Cars, Mustang, Camaro's, Miata's and more.

In 5 years everything will be 4500 lb electrics and everyone will just complain more but that's not going to change anything. Best bet is to buy a used car of whatever spec you think a car should be because things won't improve on the weight and size part... |

All the people who dismiss the M2 CS today, they'll change. They'll change, because in 5 years' time they'll realise how 2200 or so individuals predicted the future when ordering their M2 CS way back in 2020, or even earlier, believing in their gut that the M2 CS would live to be recognised as the last of the greatest fun sports motoring pedigrees of all time ..... and they got to drive them from brand new I guess that makes the M2 CS a true BORN AGAIN!

Whether a car can be dailied is also hugely subjective. There are people who daily drive an R32 GTR while others say that's a horrible idea. There are people who daily a Ferrari, while others say that's a horrible idea. A good part of the whole purpose of an M car is that it can be daily driven. M cars aren't these esoteric, ultra-exotic cars that need to be kept immaculately clean at all times in climate controlled garages their whole lives, take 20 minutes to warm up, and only ever be driven on sunny warm days on fun backroads. They're year-round drivers that are meant to be able to do anything. Take them to the track, run errands, throw baby seats in the back and take the kids to daycare, go on long road trips, throw snow tires on them and drive right through a winter storm, commute with them. M cars are not dedicated, limited use sports cars. |

A lot of your value is tied up in the 7300 miles on the odo.

You paid for and didn't drive the E92 for a reason. Why would you bail on it now?

I don't think history is on your side. A huge (albiet fast) 4 door that's priced very high usually doesn't end well on the selling side.
I see that car as an I don't care about money car. For owners who want the ultimate 4 door sedan experience and don't care about trading it in 3 years later and losing $50 grand. Thoughts?

Pride of ownership maybe but the ownership experience for me would be lacking a key ingrediant. If he is the original owner than I say yes keep it! You've come this far, take it the whole way.

Was it worth it? We all know the answer to that. Edit: Oh you got it last year.... personally, I would sell it and try to get what I paid for it... then get a M2CS. |

Belongs in a collection for sure. Maybe reach out to EAG? Sidenote: I think I remember this car popping up....I was interested as well but delayed the purchase and it was scooped up. Wasn't it in PA or something like that? If I remember the price wasn't as high as it should have been also! You might be able to make some $$ on the sale.
