However, I also doubt M2 residuals will be anywhere near as strong as (say) those of the 1M and I think a harsh reality is already hitting home for those that ordered with the hope of flipping for a quick profit. I also tend to agree with the view that discounts will become available next year; almost certainly not at the levels we've seen on the M3/M4 but the reality seems to be that orders are being cancelled and once M2's start arriving in the dealer network without a buyer discounts will surely follow? For what it's worth I quite like the M2 but I'll stay clear of the market until the launch euphoria has disappeared; I think that's happening already and hopefully cars will available at more sensible money in 12 to 18 months time... |

So basically you commute via shuttle etc to the continent for 3 days and live 4 days in the UK, big difference to actually living there. So a VW UP, An M2 and an R8. Why when the pound crashed???? Discounts actually reduced then, by a good bit. Okay, so to get things straight you live 4 days a week and then work 3 days on the continent when on shift. |

A foreign dealer is one that is not my normal, not another country. I don't know what discount I will get, as I say my sales guy said he would do something for me. It won't be just a t shirt, but shoot me down for trying to inject some humour. Lol you truly are an argumentative muppet. I have an M2 slot in 9 months, my choice why it's 9 months. If I had wanted one sooner I'd have been driving one months ago, and I wasn't one that registered interest ages ago either. I did get to drive one launch week and was offered the test car. I've been offered slots in the meantime as has been mentioned. The fact that I am being targeted tells me there are not many like me that appreciate the package that is the M2. 0-60 and toys are massively important to some. The fact the M2 is 'basic' will turn off the 'I want the best in class' types. It is expensive for what you get without discounts and a faster, much cheaper M240i is not going to help. But you go ahead, kid yourself that you've cunningly made some genius investment....swooped in to buy the car everyone is lining up to get. You go girl You are such a bad mofo mat |

Why when the Pound crashed? Because I get paid in Euros, so it made it far cheaper to order and pay for my R8 and M2 in the UK. |

It just is great little car imho the speed it goes round bends an M135 (now m140/m240) couldn't cope with, traction is a lot better as well.. brakes etc. What do you mean special? the way it drives.. the interior lets it down a bit, but im more interested in the drive than interior. Was white first then changed to LBB. |

Blue light and other corporate bodies get standard discount with a number of manufacturers, this holds true even with placing orders prior to a model being launched.
Ford, Mercedes, Audi and BMW will give discounts on new models from orders starting. That has always been the case and rarely changes, yes sometimes it might only be 8% discount. With the MK4 Mondeo we got 23% discount ordering prior to launch and received car prior to official launch, same with Audi, although that was about 15%. |

Im pretty sure TRL had 10 deposits before the car was launched so I expect some of them wont see a car till 2018.
I know my local dealer sold their demo to someone from Peterborough. He drove the car home and sold it for £5k profit 3 days later. Then BMW were on the phone to the dealer giving them what for |

I know my supplying dealer turned away a few people trying to buy his demo, he said why should i sell it someone who's never bought from us before when i might have a good customer (like me) guys who have had a few M's off them before not getting the option before some random just wanting to make a quick buck. |

They never get the same discounts even on normal cars, so they don't matter. yes some dealers may be fair with regular customers etc, however someone pitching up and offering above odds, then would be crazy to turn down. with the likes of Coast 2 Coast and Taral deals, being faithful to a local dealer that charges you more than rates you can get elsewhere is getting less and less. |

No the demo was sold at list, I know a lot of the guys on the M2 forum were getting cheesed off at dealers selling their demos to randoms. They should be offered up the list imo. |

Brig is right, but i would say a higher majority will end up on track than a 3 or 4 series. None of us need any more than a 318d do we really.. but we can, so we do |
