This is incorrect. While production is not limited by hard numbers like the 1M, it is severely limited due to plant production capacity. So, yes, BMW will make the M2 for a few years, but it by no means is going to be easy to get or readily available.
2) as mentioned, 2018 is an LCI and who knows how that will affect value.
Agreed
3) the M240i is out MY2017 and that makes it much harder to justify M2.
I think this is a subjective point. Yes for most regular drivers the M240i is going to be plenty, but for those looking for a real drivers car, or even just the M badge to say you have an M, the M2 is still going to be a hot ticket item.
If anything though, the M240i is only going to further limit M2 production (BMW makes more money on those than M2, so easy to see which they would build more of), which in my opinion is going to lead to even less M2 depreciation.
Having owned a Z4MC, I think the M2 is closest to that car as far as limited production due to factory limitations and also rarity/depreciation.

The majority of your reply comes across as subjectively argumentative, setting the wave of assumptions aside.
The 240i could put a meaningful ding in to M2 sales, but how are we to know? I think the biggest threat to the M2 is actually the LCI M2, or possible M2 CSL/GTS (if it happens).
Claiming because "only X are able to be made" is a ridiculous argument. They'll make all they can sell and that's simply BMW for you. The 1M was unique and the M2 is brilliant, but not nearly as unique.
You can rage away and calculate all you want based on assumptions, but in the real world value comes from property and rarely from cars, at least in this price level.
If you've got old Ferraris, that's another convo, but these are M2s - relax and drive the damn car. |
I do literally say it is a "subjective point" in my post above
And yes they will make as many as they can, but that doesn't mean it's a whole lot of them.
And I will drive the car, should be here mid-July
