LOVELY... but is it worth the premium?

 

[doublespaces]

That's the question right? Perhaps in the secondary market.

 

[Snertz]

At $83.6k that's a tough pill to swallow.

Most def ain't worth what BMW is asking... Why not a detuned S58 engine ?

Most def ain't worth what BMW is asking... Why not a detuned S58 engine ?

Most likely because it is being considered to be at the pinnacle of this engines development. The s58 still has a ways to go truth be told and the M2 CS needs to be able to withstand the abuse it is being designed to undertake in the market.
