That had been my experience too - but there’s three at Bill Jacobs BMW in the Chicagoland area if you’re interested (one AW, two BSM).

Bill Earnest, our SA there, just helped me with a LBB one.

Does anyone know what they mean by "Exclusive black sapphire metallic paint"? Is it a different tone than the regular bsm? Does BMW mean that the particular black color is exclusive to the m2 black shadow edition or do they mean that the black shadow edition comes exclusively in black and not any other color?

Stand out from the pack. Exclusive Black Sapphire Metallic paint, matte black 19" M Performance Y-spoke wheels style 736M, and M badging make a compelling statement in this limited-edition M.

I think its the same tone as regular BSM. And mostly likely referring that black shadow edition only comes in BSM..

I had to double check if I was reading it right. The original M2 is already BSM. In short BMW are going to charge more for the same thing people have been doing the upgrade them selfs for over a year. Am I missing something?

The sticker was for 62k. No Corp fleet discount, just a repeat customer and a good haggler lol. Brought up the fact that I could wait for a m2c (don’t really care for the competition), and they worked out a deal. Number before taxes were around 57k

You did pretty darn well. I've been trying to raise the M2C with dealers here in SoCal and best I can get is about $3250 off sticker. I don't think they appreciate the downward pressure that could have on base M2s. So, I've decided to hold off until at least tomorrow to see if BMW does anything with the programming. M2 inventory nationwide is getting close to M4 inventory now.

Looks cool, but basically just threw on some of the existing black parts that are available and called it a special edition. Pretty underwhelming to existing owners. But for someone that is looking at buying an M2 now, good option to have at least.

That is generally my thought, though it's nice to have another wheel option if you want one. Since I want a blue car, it's moot. That said, there's a local M3 with those black wheels installed at the port...it's a $5300 option. Good luck to them!

[BAN_M2C]

I never understood the point of some of these models. This black edition you basically take a BSM, buy black grill surroundings and side gills in black which both are roughly $300. Wheel set with tires I have seen for 4k and get the exhaust tips powder coated black or slap black ones on.

Same with the Performance Edition. Had the M Performance exhaust and coil overs, but also lost the electric seats and the Harmon Kardon. You bought an AW model and bought coils and exhaust and kept seats and HK and probably about 2-3k in your pocket.

Luckily my dealer was aware of the effect of the M2C coming and gave me a deal. I don't think they even knew what was so great about the edition itself, and I basically looked at it like getting a set of rims and the black pieces for 4k over the price of the car.

Definitely a good option to have. I myself wouldn't buy it if it were marked up. The big deal breaker for me getting this car over the M2C was that the M2C had 10k markup and a 9 month wait.

Yea, same goes for me. If I can't find a deal on a basic M2 though, I may well end up in a base 718. Local dealer has one that's arriving soon with $62.6 sticker they'll sell for $58 even. And they even lease pretty well!

I would say try Vegas, but I got the last MT M2. If you're interested, there is an M2 at BMW Henderson that was DCT, also had the 736 (I believe thats what they are called, pretty much the Y spoke wheels that the black shadow has) rims for 62k before taxes, don't know if they'll work on the price.

I tried the 718 and the 718s, great cars, do not like that its a 2 seater, and wanted a little more storage since I drive a lot with a big suitcase(s). I almost ended up with a used 13 Carrera S, but the payment was too high at 77k OTD. Figured if I really wanted a 911, I would get a turbo. All in due time I guess. Porsche in Las Vegas has a lot of demo cars, if you're looking for a good deal (especially a lease) and don't mind a couple thousand miles.

Thanks...looks like the M2s are gone but I'll check the Porsches!
