I've read so many times people saying that the M4 is a $90k car. Yea sure, if you loaded up literally every option you could, but most cars won't be like that We have no idea about CCB on the M2. I would think it should work because we've seen mules with M3/4 wheels and regular brakes. Not that I'd ever buy CCB, but I'd love to see someone order a white M2 with literally 0 options apart from CCB |

Right between the M235 and an M3 gets you in the 53k range, although if you compare coupes to coupes, (M235 and M4) you're closer to 55k.
I'm hoping for the former, expecting the latter. To those wondering about leasing, the M cars typically have lower residuals and higher money factors. This car will be expensive to lease in my opinion. EDIT - I also think that the majority of M2s will be on the lower end of the "options checked" spectrum. Remember, the options offered by BMW on the 1M were kept artificially low on purpose. Even though the M2 won't be a limited run car like the 1M, BMW can further distinguish the M2 from the m3/4/5/6 by keeping the available options limited.

Standard options and MSRP are going to tell us a lot about where BMW sees this car fitting in.

True. I wrote a post some time back echoing the same thing. It's all about positioning.

I'd say forget the standard options (well apart from things like AC and automatic wipers ) and make the base price as low as humanly possible. I'd rather save $2k and not have standard NAV for example

Just offer us more exterior colors and you have a big winner on your hands.

I think if people want to see this car fully loaded for less than 60 k as 75% of this poll has indicated then I guess you are hoping that BMW does not offer any options for the car...
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... |

However, I think a huge majority of people here seem to be aiming for either a mildly optioned car, or in my case, a stripper.

If there isn't a significant jump its not worth making the Car. M235i is very good. This car has to be sensational in order to find the niche market it is targeting.

That's what I'm saying though, I think a significant jump could be made without making significant changes (economically).

I've always said that the car should start in the low 50s, which I think is perfectly reasonable. But I have no doubt that by the time you add M-DCT, Nav, Cold weather pack, HK, potentially LED, lane departure, Premium Pack, metallic paint... you will be well over $10k worth of options. What KillRamos and I are saying, don't expect to see a fully loaded car in the 50s (key word fully loaded). In terms of options, I think you can pretty easily compare between all the models and deduce what the car will cost in the end.

Agreed.
I think we will only see the basics specced on this car; Xenons HiFi Sound Rear PDC Auto Headlights and Rain sensors M Drive (as on ///M3 etc) Anti-Dazzle Mirrors Leather (I reckon will be standard, although I hope for a Sentec (cloth/Alcantara option) Climate Control (although I don't think the microfilter AC exists anymore,phased out with e-series) And that's about it. Everything else we will have to spec. So I would expect also around the $51,000-$53,000.00 mark for a stock car Fully loaded, I would say around $61-62,000.00 |

I predict this car fully loaded will be over $68K out the door.
For what? Tuned n55 engine and only 100pounds lighter than m3/m4? As a car enthusiast who buys these type of cars mostly for performance, i think there are other cheaper and better options these days. Thanks god for the competition. |

Not saying that competition like the Mustang moves the game up a bit for sure, but I think this fully option cars are kinda crazy. I think the discussion would have made way more sense if the poll was about what people were willing to pay as a base price.

The problem with the base price is, you dont get things you really want. For example, after my experience with SMG and now with DCT, i will never go back to MT. So there is one major option that is a must for me and i suspect for many others. There are other must have options for many of us, that will raise that price significantly. In this case, i would just bite the bullit and pay $10k more for m4 with DCT.
