I did the best I could getting accurate pricing for options by using current pricing from multiple BMW models. This is obviously a guesstimate but at least gives an idea of what it would cost. I've been driving a BMW for the past 12yrs and am currently on my fourth Bimmer, so I'm quite familiar with how BMW markets their cars. BMW also tends to offer some options individually while others are lumped together in a package. Sometimes it works out in your favor where a package has all the options you want and comes in less expensive then if purchased individually. Other times it doesn't, because they lump in other options into a package which you cannot purchase individually.

With that in mind the pricing may come in a lot less depending on packages or you'll find yourself paying less because you'll skip a package altogether since the one or two items you want are bundled with several others you don't. You also need to keep in mind these are MSRP numbers. I think the M2 will be selling like hotcakes for a while so don't really see you getting much below MSRP, maybe $500 if you're lucky. Chances are better in the off season where you can negotiate lower, possibly 1,500.00~$2,000.00 depending on sales and demand. BMW also offers incentives during that time such as low financing, rebates of around $1,000.00 and even free upgrade of options ranging from $800.00~$1,500.00.

To answer the question; can a "sensibly" well equipped M2 be had for under $60,000? The answer is YES (not including tax!).
