M2 has the N55 in it, which is what the 235i had. Now the 240 has the B58 in it, which makes slightly less HP but the same torque as the M2-tuned N55.

Edit: You can read all the guesswork about the LCI and other coming versions of the M2 here: http://f87.bimmerpost.com/forums/forumdisplay.php?f=577

Lease programs on the M2 are atrocious, you will have to buy it. BMW knows they don't need to subsidize it sell them so the residuals are crazy low. If the 1M is any indicator though, resale will stay strong even if there is an LCI/CS model so you're probably ok to buy. I think there are some dealers at MSRP now but some are still adding markup and allocations are still not plentiful. No special incentives but if you work for a qualifying company you can get a $2500 fleet discount on a purchase ($1500 on lease).

That is the first test I've read of the 124 Spyder that's even vaguely complimentary.

I forgot about the non-defeatable rev matching on the BMW. Laaame. That's a deal breaker.

The clear takeaway to me is "buy a 987."

Only if GM has hired a new ABS engineer.

Here's an idea, Theo:

Get this one CPO'ed. Negotiate a deal with them that includes trading your M5 in for the sales tax break and them immediately selling it to LIP for trade value + doc costs.

Everybody wins.

Edit:

I like this one in Gaithersburg, MD too. Red over cloth

I can go down and look for you. I have a good friend who is a sales guy there.

Just don't do the M5 trade-in thing.....
