Very Expensive M2
My dealer has an LBB M2 on his lot with a factory sticker of $69,010.
https://www.bmwseattle.com/new/BMW/2...ecd673ba1d.htm Getting very close to a stripped down M4. The last picture is of the sticker price. |

It basically has all the M performance parts you can get, even the exhaust - not surprising that the price gets high in a hurry.

If you took off the exhaust and all the carbon it would be 60k for lbb+dct+exec, which is normal. Quote:
I guess they wanted to keep it under 70. |

But that's still a lot of extra stuff that someone might not want...I wonder if this one will sit for a while. You're definitely right that it's a good deal if you do want it - you're not paying the labor on the back end this way...

So, if you're up to installing the parts yourself (which you should be because it's simple), you can save $1,583 by buying the parts off ebay and ECS Tuning. There are a couple USA BMW dealers who list parts on there for below MSRP, and ECS has the exhaust for cheapest that I've found. I know this because I recently purchased all the M2 Carbon bits from ebay dealerships.
LBB M2 - $60795 Rear Winglets - $660 Front Winglets - $830 Mirror Caps - $455 Diffuser - $810 Grilles - $280 Side Grill - $116 Spoiler - $430 Exhaust w/ Tips - $3052 Total - $67.427 Personally, I would have someone else install the exhaust for me. I only own a floor jack and don't have friend to ask for help, so I don't wanna fumble around with a heavy exhaust by myself. So that would eat a little into the $1,583 I would save. Though I think I can find a mechanic to do it for $400 or so. |

Anyway, my post was more to put everything in perspective on exactly how cheap it could be had for. I don't believe someone would have much negotiation success going into it trying to convince the dealer the price is "very expensive". However, going into it thinking the price is "a little high" might work out more favorable for everyone involved. |

I'd say that the car at US value with all the M Performance parts is probably worth around $64k on the high end if we set off from an MSRP of $56k. If you can get close to that number, you would be getting a pretty good deal. Either way, it could be an attractive option if you could get the dealer to budge a couple of grand off that $69k, you could chalk it up to saving yourself some hassle with coordinating the installation, shipping and all the coordination involved for those parts.

I know what it means. I guess I never thought about speccing it with DCT, though. I've configured the car more times that I can count, and it always added up to $56k high. Now it's $57k. Still I guess we're both right in a way. Depends on the transmission.

Any way you slice it, $69k is a very expensive M2.
This particular car was built before the $1000 price increase last month so, without $9k+ of useless add-ons (that do nothing to make the car any faster or any more fun to drive), it would have been under $60k MSRP.

I find the aero parts provide me signficant fun, giving me every bit of downforce I can get, when I am heading up the Uphill Esses at VIR at 120+. That makes my laptimes faster and staying planted is fun, I can tell you that. If you are heel-toeing your way to the grocery store, those aero parts are absolutely useless. So I disagree on useless for everyone. I do agree you can install those parts yourself and get them a good bit cheaper from places like Sun Motorcars. Obviously buy the car with the options that make sense for you. |

I know a dealer that’s had an M240i on his lot for a year or more - loaded to the gills and priced more than an M2. I can’t believe he hasn’t learned the lesson that buyers want to decide what add-ons and accessories they need. Would you buy an overloaded, overpriced car that’s been through two winters on the lot at MSRP?
BTW, the M2s he’s been bringing in without any add-ons are selling pretty quickly. |

Happy to show it to you...but not sure I want to go through that trouble with your requirements you listed and you discount it...so how about you bring you and your car down to VIR and we can make you a believer? My car with bullshit aero and yours without. Worst case you have a great time and stay skeptical. I'll be there with TrackDaze 3/19 and Audi Club 4/9. But seriously...it's true man...it works. Remember the original Audi TT that was blowing off the Autobahn...they added a tiny little spoiler and voila. Anyway... |

PS - you also stated that the MSRP without those add-ons would have been $60,795, which was incorrectly based on the recent base price increase to $54,500, whereas the car in question was built prior to that price increase, as shown on its window sticker with the previous base price of $53,500.
