M3/M4 vs M2 Pricing
Haven’t seen a post that rationalizes the price difference between the m3/m4 and m2. Based upon how I would spec an apples/apples car, I came to
-$66,795 for an auto m2
-$85,875 for a m4 comp
Without getting into the weeds of the options, how do you rationalize the extra 19k difference between these when the engine is the same, the other functional components are the same, and the interior is basically the same. Only things I can think of
-3-5k in length (9inches or 5% length)
-2.6k roof
-$500 parking cameras
-1k leather (Marino)
-1.5k bootmod m2 and get to 504 hp. Not even sure this is a fair difference since this is not an extra cost to bmw.
-built in Germany
-Increased margins on the flagship
Wondering if anyone knows of any other differences that would create such a gap. I want to buy a m3/m4, but the rationale side of my brain is asking why with such a discrepancy. I don’t understand why BMW would build such a similar car that is so much cheaper. They do have control of the supply end though.
