I would say you might see a brief dip in resale as the Comp comes out... but as people realize it is a fantastic iteration that they do not make anymore, that resale value will flatten out (and perhaps rebound). If you want to sell yours in late 2018 or 2019 you might take a hit. After that, you will do just fine.

You edited the most important part of the statement by @mstigator earlier. And for the last time. Judging whether an M car is an M car with it's engine code is moronic. It's an M car because of much more than the engine. Or the side mirrors. |

I already read all 17 M2 Competition/M2 CS/S55 M2 threads hoping for more information. I did indeed make a post ( which at the very least bobert appreciated) in one of these threads. I would take the time to link to it .. but for your combativeness. Enjoy your M2 it's a great car. Your value in this forum, yet to be determined. |

The way I see it, I own an original first gen M2. To me that holds long term value in itself.

It's funny how these threads always seem to progress the same...
Someone will ask if the new M2 Comp is going to cause the N55 M2's value to plummet, or cause massive pension defaults, or cause widespread famine, or a recurrence of the Motaba virus, or an asteroid the size of Texas to hit the planet. And some will reply more enthusiastically than others, and they'll be accused of being defensive about their cars and told that they really need to relax and maybe buy a better pillow. Others will say don't worry, we can send a drilling team up to the asteroid, it will all be ok. And then everyone is told they completely missed the question, and they shouldn't have dropped out of school in the 3rd grade and they should eat more vegetables, and everyone pretty much wishes they could take back the 60 seconds they spent answering. Wash, rinse, repeat. It's ok, we aren't alone, this also happened when Little Debbie introduced the Swiss Cake Roll, and everyone is like "yeah but I just bought 6 boxes of Oatmeal Cream Pies" and people were saying it wouldn't affect Oatmeal Cream Pies too much but next thing you know Food Lion is doing a BOGO sale on Oatmeal pies and people are getting divorced and jumping out of windows and wishing they'd never heard of that asshole Little Debbie. Trust me, I was there. |

365 bhp/343 tq is more than sufficient for this car regardless of the designated engine code. To most buyers, the new M2's power will be defined as having 45 more hp than the old one. That's a bump that can be achieved by a downpipe or stage 1 type tune, so a minimal increase.
The S55 is very tunable and I see that as the only benefit over the N55 which is just as durable in stock form as the "proper" M engine. Furthermore, no matter how much the engineers tweak it, the aural pleasure just won't match the N55/exhaust combo.

Isn't this why we lease? It's why I do anyway. I'll concern myself with this in two years time at lease expiry. There will be more data to make the right decision then. Until then however, it's all grins every time I push the (black) start button.

Too many assholes on forums these days. (Maybe too strong a word but you get the point)
There are groups within the community that can have a level headed discussion on the same topic over and over again without the need for comments from the peanut gallery. Mental masturbation is a thing... If people have nothing to add to progress the conversation stay out of it? Really makes it hard for someone to find the posts that contain relevant opinions so they just open a new thread instead. |

There is no one on this forum or anywhere else who can predict the future valuation of any car into the future. For all we know, after recovery from the "little accident" recently with the self-driving car, that these will advance full steam ahead, roads will become progressively less and less accommodating to cars with drivers, and 5 months later you will be able to pick up a 1M for $5000. It's all a guess. What is not a guess is common sense, and common sense would dictate that if the future value of an M2 is important to your financial situation, you probably shouldn't buy one.
