Seems as if BMW is trying to imitate Porsche and their 911R strategy.
My wife has a M2 coming soon. I hope her dealer does not play those kind of tricks. We won't put up with that.
With the kind of money the dealer is gouging, why not getting the M4,
Competition Package if you like, and then take it to Dinan for a Stage II
or III treatment and you almost get there, tuned engine (530hp), coil-overs
and exhaust, for $10k. And Dinan has a 50k warranty so it should give some
piece of mind. It is not going to be stock, and it's not going to look as
agressive and cool as the GTS, but there will be a lot of money to spare.
