M2 Competition Price
With the base M2 at $54,500 and now M3 at $66,500 and now M4 at $68,700, there is room to increase the M2 Competition price. Now a $14K difference between M2 and M4. What do you think?

All guess work right now but in UK at least the Competition Pack M3 & M4 is around 5% price increase over the standard models so perhaps this can be a guide that can be used for the M2..
As the current N55 M2 will no longer be in production, I can only assume that the price increase won't be too much more otherwise they might lose out in this market sector and not to be too close to be taking sales away from the more expensive M3/M4 models

A base M4 is starting at 99k A base M4 CS is starting at 148k, but quite packed with lot stuff However, as you mentioned, its is not a CS and is more comparable to the competition package you order on a base one, so can't go up that much as it replaces the normal M2, so I guess the 5% are realistic...but I guess without all the options, like M seats and so on |

Everyone forgets one of the most important factors in them setting a price is benchmarking the competition.
Rs3- 54,900. 400hp. CLA AMG- 51400 375hp. BMW almost always put a new improved motor in the Lci's and there isn't really a price bump. Sure they added more options like the optional sport brakes and optional sport seats to add a little bit more possible profit margin to the car (also mercedes/audi offers these options) I really don't think the base price is going to change like people think it will. |

I would look at the base M3 price and the price of the competing brands similar models as a guide for where the new m2 price will fall. |

Also, they need to put more price separation from the M240i. Look for something halfway between the current M2 (and those cars you cite) and the base M4. I would say closer to the M4 side, as it will be close to that in many ways (and better in others). |

It will be interesting to see what they come up with. Currently the M240 and M2 are way too close in price and the S55 and great sales gives them a great reason to push the prices up significantly. I would not be surprised to see a 5-7k jump in the base of the M2. The base price of the M2 was surprisingly low, don't think BMW is going to do that again.

The length of the M2 Competition options list is a tell-tale sign that you'll be in M3/M4 territory if you go for a full-fledged spec when ticking boxes at the dealer for an order.

$59,995 is my guess.

But I'm hoping the base price comes in closer to what it is now... big price jump imho would hurt sales by pricing out the people it initially attracted... |

Quite some of "the people it initially attracted" got already an M2.

Maybe. A lot of M2 owners claim they could afford an M4 if they wanted that instead.

I am wondering what completely loaded will top out at...low 70s maybe? If you tick all the boxes... I really hope the 666M wheels are available for this car - they look amazing on the M2.

If they put the carbon ceramic brakes as an option it's going to be higher than that.
