Why do you think BMW will make the M2 cost drastically more than the 1M and E46 M3? I mean even the initial E92 M3 was $56k with a V8.

M2 will be the new generation E46 M3 that appeals to BMWs young market. Mid 50s would steer that market away to other manufactures. You have to also look at it from a marketing standpoint.

Plus, remember the M235i will be gone when the M2 arrives. It will be replaced by a 235i or "tii" as others have noted with a 4 cylinder. The price tag on that will more than likely be dropped to around $41k (where the 135i was). Now your looking at a $9k difference for the M2.

$49,900 with destination! Mark it!
