The price difference now is definitely not as attractive as when the MY2016 M2 MSRP was $61K in Canada.

Is there still a LSD option for the M240i? I would say that even if not tracking the car, have a LSD makes for a fun drive on the road. Is that part of the loaded $54K price?

If not, that would get the prices closer again...but the wait / lead time is killer I totally agree.
There is an option for a LSD for the M240i. It is about 3500$ from what I remember. The MY2017 now have a starting msrp of 63000$ you can add few things on top and you are well above 64000$. I get the point of the M2 but on Canadian roads filled with potholes not sure you can really push the M2 enough to make it justify the 10000$ difference with the M240i. That said if the can increase the output of the M2 with the LCI while keeping the same price I might change my mind. A B58 with 390ish hp and 550nm would be killer.
So far I've been to find some decent back country roads around Dundas/Hamilton/Kitchener. Not like a track or even close to pushing the M2 anywhere near it's limit...but the car is phenomenal! Brings a huge smile to my face driving it...
