That's a ludicrous amount of money to pay for an "m235i". They can't even get the model name right. Compare that to the R957 691 price tag of a brand new one from the dealer and it's a markup of R342 304 :wtf:
edit: too lazy to work out percentage of markup

I think Autotrader does not have "M2" in the database, hence they advertise it under M235i.

Dealer is testing the waters. With 63 only coming through this year there definitely will be demand. Add to this people that might think this is limited editon like the 1M before it... When it is not

So in a nutshell dealer is a scumbag or trying to fleece unsuspecting (very) rich blokes

Btw out of the many M2 reviews I've watched on YouTube I would say the Carfection (XCar) one with "Moby" is the best.

"However, with only 63 M2s in the country, and all of them sold, BMW could only provide a solitary test unit at the launch. Driving would also only be restricted to the track (for obvious reasons)."

Or just being a capitalist
but yes sad truth is most of those 63 odd m2s this year will be on dealership floors asking way above MRP

It really makes one sad to see cars like these being sold at overly inflated prices

Someone needs to take an angle grinder to those "fangs" and remove them. The car will look so much better without them.can anyone photoshop these off?

From that quartet I reckon the Bmw m2 will be quickest on a straight, definitely quickest on the track

I expected far worse. Assuming this is same surface (Killarney) they tested A45 and RS3. Those cars were above 5 sec. On same surface, F80 M3 and AMG C63S were above 5sec.
