I live down in Steele Creek by Top Golf, but work up in Huntersville. I'm at every C&C we have, so if you ever go and have seen an orange M2C, thats me. You?

I'm down just south of Southpark, but work up at Atrium off Morehead. Had a BMW when first moved to Charlotte. Rear-ended and totaled 3 weeks later. Hoping to get back into one. I also like that there seems to be a strong BMW chapter community around Charlotte that I hope to get involved with once I put a BMW in the garage.

Conissah, the only time I spotted an orange M2C was at the M Town tour event. Maybe that was you. |

Lol small world. And no, that was not me. Haven't had the privilege of taking it to any BMW or Euro events yet. Only had the car 2 months.

The main advantage of the Rubicon over other trim levels is that it comes from the factory with front and rear locking differentials For those who actually take their vehicles off-road, lockers are worth their weight in gold If you're looking to buy a Wrangler to primarily cruise around town with the top off and will rarely, if ever, take it off-road then you would probably be better off buying a different Wrangler than the Rubicon However, if you want and/or need a more capable 4x4, then the Rubicon starts to make a lot more sense Aftermarket lockers are expensive to add, require a good installer and are generally not as reliable as factory offerings Then again, if you're a really hard-core off-roader who plans to do extensive mods and run huge tires, then the Rubicon's D44 axles probably won't be strong enough anyway so might as well buy a less expensive Wrangler and put the money saved towards even beefier axles (such as D60s) The same type of arguments could be made for the M2 CS Do you want and/or need things on your M2 the such as the carbon fiber roof, the M adaptive suspension or the Merino leather that would be a bit more challenging to add later on to a M2 C with the same fit, finish and quality as the factory? Then perhaps the M2 CS is for you Are you a track rat and likely to gut the interior, install a roll cage, ditch the adaptive suspension, or whatever in search of faster lap times? Then the M2 CS makes less sense as a starting point unless cost is little to no object In the end, there is no right answer for everyone |

I live less than a mile from where it's held. Usually a very good turnout. The one in Nov had a full carbon Senna come out, was super cool. Lot's of M cars, but usually no M2's. Let's do it in January!

1. Someone who will never take it to the track 2. Want something "special" (I know that we have debated whether it is special or not to ad nauseam) 3. Like the merino seats 4. Like the adaptive suspension 5. Need the ability to seat 2 in the backseat in a pinch 6. Don't want to pay $100K plus for a "base" 911 7. Want a vehicle to hold for a long time Some may argue why not just go for a M2C. I may consider one if I can't get an allocation. But I do like the new additions to the M2CS. However, this price hold out and tease is having me reconsider and look at something like the Lexus LS500. Yes, completely different cars, but based on depreciation, it's at $75K for very low mileage. In addition, the quality and looks are punching way above its weight. And lastly, based on Lexus' reliability, if any luxury coupe is going to last a long time, it's this. Hey, my selections and wants do not have to make sense. I just have to like it

@JCZ5 I hear you 100%. I want what I want, and that's enough for me. If I don't get a CS, I may get a LR Defender any go a completely different direction. Buy what floats your boat and enjoy the fact that this moment affords you the luxury. You never know what tomorrow brings. I really want to go electric, but feel like we are on the cusp of a gigantic leap forward. The I4 looks promising.

Overpriced?
Quote:
Today I turned in my '17 M4 and the dealership had 5 M cars in show room. The M2C was $71k and the X3M was $81k! You think a M2CS at $83,000 is too high? The M4CS was $107k and don't even mention the M5 Jahre at $140! Pretty sure the CS at $83 will still be a awesome drivers sports car!

IDK what options / M Perf parts that M2C had, but it must've been a lot... My 6mt M2C with the $550 Sunset Orange Color and $1200 Exec Package came out to $60,650. I paid a heck of a lot less than that, but $11k in 'upgrades' is steep. |

Well, one week later and the price has already dropped ~$5K . . . hard to believe nobody on this forum has swooped this baby up yet.

Did they fix the M Performance Exhaust rattle (due to sh*t mid-pipe design) on the M2C?
Can't wait to see a $90k M2CS roll down the street with a rattling exhaust |

85-95k USD (111K to 125K CDN) preTaxes and dealership fees.
Even more expensive than fully loaded M340 with all the M Performance accessories. Downpayment for a home! 2 M2 CS = 1 Condo home!! |

I would rather get a M2 CS at $90k than a M8 Competition at $150k plus. You will definitely feel the weight of the M8.
