M2 Price
Reports are now streaming out from various Automotive media that the new M2 will carry a base sticker price of $55,000. This would price the base M2 around $9,000 less than the current base M4 price. Using the manual transmission option (no DCT for me), and picking all the favorite goodies offered on the current M4 the fully loaded M2 would cost $66,000.
Asking myself, the M235i at $53,000 fully loaded was not a terrible price to pay for a great car, but $13,000 more for a similar equip'd (you do get some better upgrades on the M version) worth the price of admission? I think most of the M enthusiast won't mind the sticker price. What do you think? |

I would like to get it cheaper since I can get an M3 for that price through diplomatic sales.

I really don't think the base price will br quite that high, maybe a few grand less.
Let's put it this way, I'd rather have a stripper out M2 than a fully loaded M235i. The only must for me is metallic paint and HK. I'll skip everything else to stay in the low 50s |

If i was to get one would be lightly optioned, so lets say $55k plus $3-4k option is a reasonable price for this car

Given the M2 is reported to have 50 less HP and only 100 lbs lighter (using current model differences for comparison) than the M4 you wonder how many are going to choose the M2 over the M4. |

I couldn't care less about MSRP, it's all about residual and monthly lease payment for me.

An m4 with zero options added is $65,150 including destination fee with that you get navigation ,carbon fiber roof standard and all the other Carbon goodies including drive shaft and trim, If the m2 is $55k they have to include navigation and the CF roof, or else your right around $60k before you add anything the m4 doesn't have standard.
Its a real tough spot, its gonna be interesting to see what BMW does , maybe they'll go more towards raw feel like the 1M adding all the m4 parts CF drive shaft , CF roof, full suspension and wide arches to fit m4 wheels while offering less luxuries and keeping it right below the m4 pricing maybe $55-59k range and not many options to add. If they price lower there will definitely some m235i owners wishing they waiting if their fully loaded cars are the same price , not saying there isn't a market for both but to the enthusiast it would be a easy decision considering the m235i is pretty amazing for not being a "real" M car I can only imagine what the m2 is gonna be like. I thought when I ordered my car that I probably should have waited but realistic at this point in my life I couldn't bump up to the m2 anyway I got my car literally with only leather and metallic paint and got over $6k off sticker price with incentives and some negotiating so I am happy either way. All that being said ! I hope that many of the m2 parts become retrofittable |

Wasnt the 1M around $47 base? I see a bump in price justified, but how will the M2 add $8K of value ($55k) over the 1M with no bespoke engine...maybe with CF?
Also, I thought part of the initiative of the M2 was to get a product thats more affordable for the younger folks? And the GT350 looks like it may come in at $53K; Ford is looking impressive.That should create some price competition. |

Edit: looked up the GT350's specs and if it is coming in at $53k, it actually does provide some stiff competition for BMW. However, we must remember that BMW is a premium brand and they are going to charge accordingly. |

How the hell did you come up with that number? So you think it'll be more expensive than an M4?

loaded i'm guessing it could be quite a lot. i think most people probably are going to care a lot more about base price not loaded, as they always have a ton of ridiculous options on m cars like $8000 ceramic brakes.
i think personally i can't see myself spending more than about $52k for a base. there are just too many other good cars once you get quite a bit above that. if it were $60k you are talking $8k more than a base cayman. its just too much. i think its possible bmw will just make it a model that they dont produce a ton of them, and people who really want them can order it as i'm guessing some people will buy it regardless. but if they want to move a lot of units, i'd say base has to be like 52-53k max |

I wouldn't be surprised if the M2 were close to $60k. Look, for example, at the 435i/M4. The 435i has a base price of $46,250 while the M4 has a base price of $64,200. You're paying 39% more to get the M4. The M235i has a base price of $43,100. Add 39% to that and you're at $60k. |

I would be very surprised if an M2 came close to a Cayman S on a real road track. As for the OP - I'd be hard pressed to pay $66k for a loaded M2, seems about 10-15% high to me. If it is that high then I'm waiting for a used one. Last edited by sgrinavi; 01-19-2015 at 07:49 AM.. |

Again, if it really does start at $60k, that's a whopping $11k more than the CLA45AMG. If it somehow starts at $60k, I don't know many people that wouldn't skip the M2.
