The M2Cs in Canada are basically selling for 80-90% of MSRP as well. With the ton of G87s on dealer lots I would have though the values would have taken a hit.

Wow. That's so impressive when you think about the weight difference between the two cars. Imagine how much faster the G87 could be with some simple weight saving mods!!

GEICO appraised and paid out 60,300 to me for a 11k mile completely stock F87 M2C totaled 30 days ago. I don't see low mileage 6MT M2C selling on normal platforms (not BaT) for mid 40s at all. Low mileage <25k and clean Carfax are solidly in the low-mid 50s. |

very solid results and again just goes back to how much better the G series chassis is sorted... an F87 on a track this bumpy is all over the place

Both cars are very evenly matched, if you look at lap times from other comparisons it’s a second either way on various tracks, not to mention the M2CS won Ecoty.
However, the new M2 is no doubt impressive and a CS will be even more impressive. I’d love to have the new M2, but only if they had taken the body from the old and put it on the current M2 Chassis. I think my M3 CS beats them both mind 😬😁 If only Mercedes F1 team had some BMW engineers |

I’m sure that’s why Chris Harris swapped out the suspension straight away on his M2CS, for the Bilstien B12 I think it was.

I just don’t get why you guys think this is a great time. It’s slower than an M4 RWD, which to me seems to indicate that a longer wheelbase works better on the G chassis.
Everyone seems so smug, but there is absolutely no progress compared to an M3 or M4. Not faster, not lighter. If so then what’s the point? Those internet race jockeys comparing its time with the F87 M2CS will always have a hard time understanding the importance of tires. Each new generation of tire is 5 - 10 seconds faster than the previous one. Put them on the same tires and the difference evaporates.

The point is that for $15K less you can have a car that looks much more unique with it's long hood/short deck than the M4. The point is that for $15K less, you can have a car that is more dynamic in tight corners. And if you choose to you can buy take off M3/M4 wheels to save ~20lbs rotating/unsprung weight for less than $1,000. You can replace the lead battery for a LiION one like in the M2 for ~$1,000 and save 40 lbs. But guess what? Choice is great. We can get a G87, G82, G80, G81, G83, they are all great cars, each slightly more suitable to one thing or the other. But out of all of them, only one is much less expensive than the others. And that is a great point.

Performance per dollar the M2 is right up there, especially when you compare it to f8x prices. You also get all the components essentially of a much more expensive car. I don’t think the weight matters that much honestly, the F87 didn’t feel light either.

Very amusing. I test drive an OG M2 in 2017. I test drove a G82 when it came out.
The G82 was so much faster, so much better handling. But it held all the driver engagement of a PS2. That OG M2 was quite the thing. A little raucous angry beast. Feisty. Faster than you’d need. A bit crazy. Pub stats Nurburgring times guys will never understand it is all about how it makes you feel. The G series is comfortably numb. What an end to the “ultimate driving machine” https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=_FrOQC-zEog |

It's hard to believe a 5000lb Taycan Turbo S GT ran a 7:07 lap time.

Always funny to see discussions about ring lap times, and people celebrating a 1% difference as if it matters. I cancelled my g87 order and bought a more expensive m2 cs for many reasons. The car is very fast for my use, looks amazing, extremely fun to drive, and i certainly don’t need anything with more performance. Buy whatever you like, but if you really care about ring lap times, there are many faster cars than an m2.
