Hell naw. Read the OP:

Manually adjustable sport seats without heat or lumbar. The styling and upholstery is the same as other 2017 M2’s.

I don't really know what people want to see. It's just a normal M2 with no visual changes, just with a slightly lowered ride height due to the adjustable coilovers.

Which, by the way, are just another M Performance feature that can be back-ordered for any M2 GE (Grocery Edition).

Only extra for the M2 PE is likely a "xxx/150" plaque near the armrest.

I think BMW failed with this car. It is focused exactly for enthusiasts who are the makeup of this forum. And yet most all of us are scratching our head asking how this is any more special than a regular white M2 with some performance parts. Yes, there are some interior mods, but they aren't extreme enough for those that want to track their M2 extensively. I suspect most of those enthusiasts are holding out for the M2 CS anyway. This seems like a car that missed it's target audience.

this is a joke lol

The Factory had left over barrels of white paint and M PERF parts that they wanted to move until the 2018 MY which will no doubt coincide with the next update of M PERF parts. There is a method to the Factory's madness. It is not a desirable vehicle at that price point.

StealYourFace · 03-02-2017, 06:44 AM

This would be a great car is it simply cost base plus the Coilovers and catback.

3s-a-charm · 03-02-2017, 07:07 AM

Those orange side-markers really finish off an already beautiful car! Thank you, DOT!!

ice31 · 03-02-2017, 07:16 AM

M2 Performance, but no actual performance increase. lmfao

hyperboost · 03-02-2017, 07:28 AM

i wonder how the car will look with the oem E46 M3 CSL wheels look......

hyperboost · 03-02-2017, 07:29 AM

didn't I read somewhere BMW will stuff the S55 motor in the M2? call me crazy if I am wrong

In the CS not the "performance edition"

DCG · 03-02-2017, 08:44 AM

It looks great but this is how it should come stock! Especially for the price they're charging.

AndyinHou · 03-02-2017, 08:54 AM

A guy in New York offered to sell me his spot for the Performance Edition for $8,000.

Yup. Eight. Thousand. Dollars.

discoboy1 · 03-02-2017, 09:03 AM

If they would have put an exclusive special paint color It would have been more interesting

Wow - he seems slightly off base with his ask!

Encinitas CA M2+M5 Owner · 03-02-2017, 11:11 AM

There is no doubt a couple of years from now the 150 limited edition will be worth the 8k more on resale... we are not taking about a 20k preimum plus for this edition, Msrp is 61k... its steal for a
M collectors edition.

Agree to disagree. Especially with no clarity on 1) how many m2 cs there will be 2) how many other special models will be made.

For example, there weren't many limerock made and those don't seem to be fetching much extra if at all

I don't see it. Plus I don't think most m2 owners see this car as an investment.

Of course, anything is possible.

If that's the case, why are members here turning down offers at MSRP?

I'm still considering keeping my allocation, pending any significant changes for the MY18/LCI, just for clarity

Meh.

I can't speak for others, but I turned it down because I am at the top of the list for the CS. Which based on the info we've been given, will be a significant improvement from the base M2. I am still hoping the price comes in <$70K and if it is say $68-70K then I would feel quite foolish spending $62K for the "performance edition".
