BMW is introducing the next and probably best ever enthusiast car, the M2. Inline six with about 370hp and RWD, a autotranny is only optional.

But will it ever be affordable? Depreciated E36s start at around 10k$/€ nowadays. Do we see the same in 15 years with the M2 or will it be a collectors car from the beginning with only a margin number sold? What do you think?

like hell its only going to be a ‘margin’ number sold. BMW is going to milk that cash-cow for all its worth

The i8 was also going to be only limited production. This will be very similar to most other BMW M depreciations.

Do we know this for sure? I haven’t seen production numbers yet. It was my understanding that it wouldn’t be as limited as the 1M (1 year of production and only 1000 sold in the US). I thought the M2 was going to be produced for several years?

They’ll sell plenty, and they will depreciate.
