First off, the price difference between an M240i with similar options to the M2 is too close to make this an issue. In some cases the M240i was a little more, in some cases a little less depending on market. People contending "too close in performance" tend to ignore this. That said, for me not only does the M2 inspire more confidence with its handling characteristics, it wins on looks and sound. For me, a big improvement over my '16 M235i - much more fun to drive.

Also The issue isn’t so much with the Msrp but with the discounts available. I’m a sales consultant for Bmw and there are discounts to be had on M240i models but absolutely nothing given from Bmw in the way of incentives or by the dealer in the way of discounting from asking price on the M2. In a lot of cases people were, and still are paying sticker + for these cars, dependent on color and availability of course. We can sell a new M240i nicely equipped for much less than a new M2. The M2 is a wonderful car there is no denying that. I would think that the next step for them would be the B58 on steroids under the bonnet of a new M2. That motor is simply amazing and is going to be a wonderful base for BMW to build on for years to come in lots of their models. |
