Gotcha, and totally understood. I'm kind of on a different page than you. I drove both the M3 and M4 with both transmissions and know that:
1) DCT is not for me
2) I'd want the F80, but it's too big to be a weekend car, and it's not practical enough for me and my 2 big dogs.
3) I'd want something more in line with an E36/46 M3, rather than an E39 M5

Like I said in a few threads, if you split the difference between the M235i and M3 (completely base price), you get $52.5k. $10k to the F80 is rather significant for me, plus I'd get the nimbler car that I'd want.

Having an E36 now (as a DD), I've come to realize that there's just not much I need from a car in terms of options. Really, the only thing that I'd care about is that the car does not come with halogen headlights. That's pretty much the only thing that I miss when I switch back and forth from the E92 to the E36. Can't see a damn thing at night

Anyway, I think we all agree that BMW need to be super happy with the pricing. Too much and I might just jump ship and get a used Cayman S

GF's dad picked up a CPO, super low mileage Cayman S for just over $50k about a year ago. for the same price I would probably go for a brand new M2, but for $7-8k cheaper idk if I could pass up the Cayman.

Agreed.
Base price question would have been far more applicable rather than the open question of fully loaded.
I think the standard spec will suffice for me as well depending on what options are available to make the car more lightweight and or focused, say for example a CF roof option as opposed to a standard moonroof option.

Wait, do you think the DCT will be a standard for the M2? And that MT will be a 0 dollar option?

On the M5/6 it is, but that's US only. I absolutely don't see DCT being a no cost option when the M3/4 has it available for a pretty hefty $2900. Now if the car was offered with 6MT and 8AT, then yes, I could have see AT as being free. But then everyone would have complained about how the M2 is a faux M car

Lol, I just went on BMW's configurator for the M4, and it was a no cost option for MT... maybe I'm doing something wrong?

lol no, you're not. I think what ///W is saying is that this could be the potential lineup for the M2:

ZF AT: $0
MT: $0
DCT: $~3000

Since the 235 Racing has the ZF Auto and not the DCT, it makes me wonder if we will see the DCT on the M2 - another cost savings and positioning possibility from BMW.

Correct, that's what I was trying to say. I was really surprised that BMW decided to give the M2 M-DCT. I figured if the M235i racing already has an 8AT (a damn good one) matted to an N55, they would have just called it a day.

I wonder if we'll see auto rev match with the 6MT.

My almost loaded M235i was 57 grand not including the M LSD i put in, that makes it 60500.

So basically everyone on here wants the M2 to cost less than the M235i.

Not realistic. Maybe consider used cars...
But your basing that off of a fully loaded M235i in CDN dollars.The US M235i costs much less than your car.

I voted for the M2 costing $60,000 fully loaded in the US.In Canada a fully loaded M2 will probably cost around $72,000 CDN imo.

It would also save them money from a manuf. standpoint - less changes would need to be made to the overall line if the same transmissions are going to be used in the M2 as the rest of the 2er lineup.

My guess is that items like CCB will also not be available - just a hunch - not that I would spend 8K on something that would gain me 0 benefit based on how I would drive the car.

EDIT- these are all the more reasons to go more of the stipper route on this car (paint, LEDs, heated seats and that's it for me) and save the options for when you want (if ever) something along the lines of an M3/4. At least IMO.

So if the M2 doesn't come with any carbon fiber,including the carbon fiber roof,how do they get the weight lower than the M235i?

Honestly, it probably won't. You'll get some from maybe lighter suspension components. Maybe lighter seats?

The more of these mules I see, the less likely I think we'll see a huge difference vs the m235i, which is fine by me. As long as they price the M2 closer to the M235i than the M3/4. We'll see

I still feel that the M2 will come with the carbon fiber roof because it seems like an easy way to get the weight lower and it makes the car look better.It isn't like they are protecting M4 sales by not offering it on the M2.Is someone really going to get an M2 over an M4 just because it has a carbon fiber roof like the M4.

It's not like there aren't other cars in the BMW lineup using carbon fiber.Look at the i3,it uses a bunch of carbon fiber,including the roof and costs way less than the M2.

Is there a final word on the M235 as a continued production vehicle? Do away with the M235 and go to a 240i with "m-sport". That keeps a bit of price/performance disparity between the two models.

Seems like a reasonable marketing move to de-content the M2 of expensive small scale add-ons (no CF roof, bespoke engine, ...) which would make it more $$$ accessible.

Adding a stiffened suspension, better brakes, LSD, side skirts, wider rubber, stitching, and tune would add some cost. But the incremental component cost would yield a better return.

It's the only price I'm concerned with! M-division is known for what it can make a standard series do on the road. To increase the pure driving experience for the pure driver - they've lost their ways a bit, but I'm convinced the M2 is heading back in that direction very effectively.

I am buying engineering, heritage, and thrill. The ultimate driving machine doesn't have to be the ultimate sitting machine or ultimate parked machine or ultimate drive-comfortably-at-35mph-machine. Leave that for the Cadillacs

The m235i is a m performance model just like the 335is was or the 135is etc. Therefore I don't think that comparing the price differences between 335i and m3 or m4 vs 435i is accurate. I've calculated that the price of a 328i is about 61% of the price of the M3 and and the 428i is about 64% of the M4. If we use that logic with the price of the m2 compared to the price of the 228i we're going to get a MSRP with metallic paint between $51,650 to $54,180 probably closer to the 54k mark that would keep the price of the car with a +/-9.5k difference between the m235i and the m3.
