I really have a hard time believing that BMW would make this small number (500) of cars. This would make it the rarest BMW since the '95 E36 M3 Lightweight, and rarer than a Z8. It would be one of the stupidest things BMW would have done in its history. To promote this car as an entry level M car, and basicly make it unobtainable. It would profoundly affect the way I perceive BMW. They should make as many cars per year at least as many as the E30 M3 which is what they are trying to equate this to. For North America, that was 5300 models in 3 years, or about 1800 per year.
