I will say again, unless you’re buying this car strictly as a speculative investment, it’s not worth $92k to drive around. It’s special, just not that special. And I realize I’m posting in a 1M forum with fanboys who all fantasize their cars will be worth millions. But for just a few more grand, I bought a CPO Boxster and a new Corvette. I could buy a Z06 which I feel is an incredible car for less than an this aging 1M cost. |

The person who bought the car maybe richer than most of us, probably have more cars and boats than us and bigger house too.
Cant shame the person who kept it for years and had under 900 miles nor hate the buyer who you think over paid for it. The value of the car is what someone is willing to pay. Shit, I can see someone having a M and super low mileage. How do I know, well because im one of them people. |

When I got my 981 CS in 2015, I also drove a base 991, 1M, and 991 CS...and the 1M was a distant 4th. A faaaaar distant 4th, from both a looks, tech, and (especially) driving experience perspective - it was a hell of a bargain in 2011, but it’s expensive now because it’s production numbers were artificially limited. It was an experiment, albeit a cool one, by BMW to see if people still wanted a small RWD M car. Turns out that about 6,000 (I forget the exact number) people worldwide were willing to pay for a MT only car with the 135 engine and bug eyes. I’m glad that was the case, because we got the M2, M2C, and I’m sure the M2CS out of that experiment (all better cars in every objective test). But don’t get it twisted...the 1M is not anywhere near the level of a car that can regularly command $92,000...and fun is a subjective application, not a factual one.

Wow! A lot of supposed M2 owners hating on our beloved 1M.
Hmmm 🤔 Jealousy does suck gentlemen. But, no worries....... most of us will pick up a M2 on the cheap soon enough 🤣 You see the M2's are depreciating like crazy if you haven't already noticed. Sort of like the middle child syndrome/complex stuck between the 1M and the M2C. Your M2 will be had in the 30's very soon 🤣 ...and honestly that's probably what they are worth considering the M2C is out and superior. Of course all you M2 owners are crying about how that should of been the original M2 from the start. No arguments there! You guys got screwed! But, don't be so salty about it and don't take it out on us! Peace ✌️ |

My impression is that you have never driven one, however opinions are like assholes, and everyone has one (unless, perhaps, one has had gender reassignment surgery). This is not to say that I'd pay 90 grand for one, or for any car, in fact.

I, along with a number of other people, happen to own both of them. The M2 is a fine, modern, car. I am liking it more than I did when I first acquired it, new, in March. It is, however, nowhere near as fun to drive as a 1M. I bought my 1M used, so I never did get to experience that new car smell, which I did get in spades from my M2, the first new BMW I have purchased since 1993. The M2 is considerably more luxurious than a 1M; it is certainly more modern. It drives well. But is it inspiring like a 1M? No, it is not.

I don't agree with your assessment of valuation, not because I think that the "regular" M2 will defy gravity when it comes to depreciation, but because I think that the M2C will likewise depreciate, like any other regular M Car. When they are 10 years old both will command about half of their original MSRPs, assuming that we are in a somewhat inflationary environment. The M2C is not some sort of special supercar, it really isn't, and allusions to things like "middle children" are sort of silly. These things will trade based upon supply and demand, and I promise you that there will be adequate supply to meet the demand. The biggest threat to future valuations of all the versions of the M2 will be external factors, such as the desirability of small passenger cars 10 years from now, availability of fuel, restrictions on internal combustion engines, etc.

But let's not focus on my situation. The 1M is a 7+ year old car, and it has value; it has become collectible. I own other collectible cars in my little stable and like the 1M, I drive them similarly a relatively modest number of miles annually. I would suppose that most people who can afford to own a 1M at this point are also in a position to have other cars to drive, and since the 1M (or an old Porsche or a Z3M Coupe, or whatever, fill in the blank with your preferred collectible and older car) isn't going to be a primary vehicle for most at this point, it will therefore not be driven all the time. I don't see that you are making a real point; the 1M is an older collectible car now. Most owners are going to treat it like that. Perhaps that explains why there are tons of Z3M coupes out there that have less than 100K miles on them, in spite of being 20 or almost 20 years old. That is what happens with older, collectible, cars. People own them as second or third or 4th vehicles, that's part of the normal progression. Back to the M2, it's not special; if you think it is, then you have very limited experience with special cars. There are quite a few older BMWs that I would much rather own, as a new car, than the M2 that I own now. But do you really know anything about either of these cars you are pontificating about? I doubt it. And your point was?

Pretty sure it was a fake ad posted by a dealer to get a bump in ratings and positive reviews. Dealer posts a for sale ad that is in the realm of believable, but certainly overpriced so that no one with knowledge of the car would actually buy it. After some believable time passes, an involved party "buys" the car so it shows as a legitimate sale, the dealer reports the car as sold, the dealer gets a ++++ rating and a positive review from the involved party. Happens all the time using ratings booster services. Go look at the reviews for some products on Amazon.
