Maybe M2 pricing is a glimpse at BMW's future plans.
Lots of features that are (expensive) options on the M235i are standard.
A fully-loaded M2 and fully-loaded M235i are within $10 of each other's price.
I think people's negative reaction to base price hikes is stronger than their positive reaction to more standard equipment being bundled in at the base price. I wonder how you plug those positive/negative reaction values into a spreadsheet.
