M2 Production Numbers Will Be Limited???
Although most indications to date have suggested that production quantities of the M2 will not be limited like they were for the 1M, I visited a local dealer today who told me they are hearing that only approximately 375 M2s will be shipped to the US.
Has anybody else heard a similar rumor???

I learned a long time ago that dealers don't know crap when it comes to things like this.

That would be stupid - there have probably been 375 people on this subforum alone who have expressed a strong interest in it, and the launch is over a year away...

IMO they will indeed most likely be limited. TOO many cars will interfere with sales of the M4 which make BMW a lot more money!
It's also worthwhile to remember that the M2 has not actually been green lighted for production yet. No official approval as of yet. It's still a design and engineering study. |

Having recently just sold my 1M, i hope that the M2 is limited ! The car had lost next too nothing after 25000 miles and 3 years of ownership now thats amazing. I have already given the dealer money as i did with the 1M and told him as soon as the order books open i better be first. Limited quantity or not if you are serious about wanting an M2 i would say put your money down with a dealer to get on his order book you can always change your mind and get your money back.

Plus the M2 and M4 will open up new customers, making it highly improbable to hurt BMW M4 sales because the demand for the M2 is so Huge.
New customers are buying the new M4 and so will the M2. Two different markets cause of size. Last week at the Braman dealership in Palm Beach a guy sold his 1M (small car) for the M4 (bigger car) and the only reason he bought the M4 is cause the M2 is not available as yet. (he didn't find the M235i was aggressive enough. He also said he is going to buy the M2 when it comes out. (small car). For BMW this is a Win - Win (see pics below) M4 sales will be there so there is no need for BMW to worry about cutting into their sales. If they limit production of the M2 its less profit for such a highly demanded car.
