Hey guys since I started the waitlist order thread for the m2, thought I would start this one!

I actually got first on the list for the upcoming M2 CS with my dealer! I suggest you guys start going to your dealers to get first in line!

I love my G87 M2 and I can imagine how much better the CS will be! I will be actually trading my G87 M2 for the M2 CS, who else will be getting one?

It won't be offered in a manual, so that's a no from me. Besides, if I'm spending 6 figs on a car, it won't be a BMW.

I will be passing. I can barely afford the M2!

[mtoosexy]

Im on that list too, but again if no manual then no buy

What do yall think the price for m2 cs would be?

Close to or in the six digits, nicely loaded.

The winds have shifted a bit on ICE vehicles so I'm no longer convinced this should be THE CAR, although I'm still on the list. Probably another 4-5yrs before I pull the trigger on ultimate ICE-unleaded sports car. I'm thinking it'll take 150-250k (and probably Porsche) to secure so I'm better off waiting and having the cash.

I realized something owning my G87 - personal preference is not having a manual, and if I'm going to own a sports car, it's going to be lower than 55in tall, and probably be a flat six versus a straight six. We'll see.

I’m #1 on the list at my local store. I’m OK with an aggressively tuned ZF8; I might even prefer it.

How much money should one expect to lose by trading a G87 for the CS version?
First year depreciation is like 10% + taxes. A big hit imo.

Exactly. Six figures would put me at our nearby, sister Porsche store for a new, manual 992.


Edit, I should have placed my name on the wait list for one years ago. It is a mile long now.

I'm so confident that it won't be offered in manual that I'd be willing to make a gentleman's wager on it with someone.

That would require you to be a gentleman

I’m number 4 on the list. A lot will depend on the cost (really can’t see myself paying over $100k for a BMW), and the increase in performance.

So far, I’ve been delighted with the performance of the auto on my G87, so it would have to be a serious upgrade.

Gotta own cars like this to bridge the gap between your final ICE car. If it’s a P car, still gotta get a manual unless you’re going full supercar.

But for now if you don’t have a fun car in the stable and are saving 4-5 years until you can buy a $150-$200k car down the road, I’m not sure I’d make that financial decision.

That's why I said "we'll see". The reality is there are so many four door cruisers that are so fast and capable with comfort and luxury that it's tough for me to devote the time to care for a garage queen weekender unless it was a really special car: limited volume, custom spec, etc.

We'll see

Just buy another G87 with the ZF8, get past break-in, and let loose. Put the windows down with the car in Sport Plus and the transmission at max shift speed and hustle it through your backroad of choice, or even just in town or down the highway. It’s spicy. For $70k, it’s a stellar product.

I agree that autos are really fast around town. When I had the ZF8 I'd drive way too fast. It was like in order to get the torque thrill I'd lay into the peddle then I'm going 65 in a 35, you can't feel the speed in these new BMWs.

I paid 74k for a comp M3 in 2011 and this is way more car.
