I always find it surprising when dealerships do not do ED. It's basically no lost for them since they will receive another allocation. In addition, they give a prospective buyer a great experience and help build brand loyalty.

Silly dealerships, looking at small short term gains...

Not true, they lose Added Value on Euro Delivery vehicles, so it does cost them significantly. In most cases that is their gross profit on the vehicle.

Man that would be a big buzz kill - they NEED to do something related to the CS because the laboriously slow strip tease went past annoying a looooong time ago.

The M4, on the other hand, is OLD news...

Like the M4GTS? Also limited edition and nobody wanted one. Lol. There might still be unsold ones sitting around.

People are, on the whole smart when it comes to demand. If the M2CS was $65k there will be a line out the door. If the M2CS is more than $80-85k you will see this sitting on lots unsold for a looooong time—-until they get discounted for $70k.

"Special" and "limited" BMW M models are always hit or miss. However, given that this comes in 6MT, I personally think it will sell out before it launches.

Agree if the numbers are as limited as anticipated think they will shift no problem. Got my name in the hat 🤞🏻

Unless you want the luxury features only available on the M4 I imagine a lot have been steered to the M2C and will be to the M2CS.

The GTS was a great idea but you had to be in freakin love with the brand to spend that amount on a 4 series core car. They lost it with the M4CS by making it way too spartan for nothing.. I feel the execs taking the decisions really don't have good info on these ''special models'' target market. They should just look at porsche GTS line-up, a total win.

I hope the M2CS will be a M2C with better performance, a better club car, lightweight parts are good but please don't remove any features unless there is a huge gain. We all love our BMW's because at the core they are just great performance version of practical road cars.

But following Porsche's formula, a 2 Series GTS would look like an M2 with an M235i power plant. Porsche doesn't put the top engine in their GTS models.

+40-50% to base is how BMW is trying to position the CS models. And 90-100% with the CSL/GTS.

The attempt with the M4 GTS/CS failed, a reason why they should adjust with the M2. However also making sense is that BMW want to take advantage of the M2, a surprisingly successful product, to "restore" the +50% position of the CS. The huge anticipation reflected from the enthusiast community seems to "encourage" BMW to take that route.

For 85-90k, many would stretch out to a lightly loaded 992 base though.

Agreed!

I think most of us here will be interested in taking one home if the price reflects value and for me that would be in the $70-75k range.

North of that in the $80-90k range and your going to lose to CPO P cars and maybe some base P cars.

Yep. I'd be looking at the C8, which comes in under 80k for my spec.

It appears that the M2 CS list price is gonna be around €95K (see here).

It will be interesting to see if a CSL will materialize. As we've previously discussed the M2 racecar makes this very easy to accomplish. However, there won't be much separating the CS and CSL, in my opinion. There's a difference between "track tool" and racecar. I don't believe there is a lot of extra weight to shed unless you hit racecar.

BMW states they want more separation between models. I think this shows in the M8C. To me it looks closer to previous CS models. I don't think they left much room for a CS. Which in my opinion is good because the base, C, CS, CSL is ridiculous. All my opinion and your mileage may vary.
