I wrote this on bimmerpost, here is my thoughts, maybe it will help some of you:
Base price ( manual) will be around R750 000 (my opinion), give or take R30 000. There is no way bmw is gonna price themselves out of the segment, audi rs3 (4.3 sec 0-100km) base price R710 000 and Cla 45 amg which is getting more power as of jan 16 (4.2 sec 0-100) is R720 000.
I also read a article that said it was expected to be between 700-750k.
Also if you use the m235i coupe as a price projection tool. In SA base price is R560 000, in america price is 44 150 us dollars x 14.33= R632 669-50. So at our current exchange rate america seems to be a little higher regarding pricing.
Now it is rumoured that M2 pricing in a america will start at between 51 000-54 000 us dollars, converted that R730 830-00 - R773 820
i am aware this is not a perfect model but i think it does point us the right direction.
Also consider that those prices for the rs3 and cla45 are with dct, so to say that the the m2 will come in at manual around those prices is not a crazy assumption.

The car has been confirmed for 5 year production period so it's not going to be limited at all like the 1M with a possible LCI model around year 3 or 4. Don't believe the 'limited' hype.

Nobody is saying that dealers and private individuals will not speculate on the first build allotments at the dealers, artificially driving prices upwards, but the price will settle when the rush is over. Just look at the prices of the first batch of the new M3/M4's in the country.

Choosing between these two cars should not be about price.
M Cars are focused, and that is the way they drive.
From my experience, all the M cars I’ve had the pleasure in driving, had the ability of changing your state of mind, like you’ve just strapped on the bat suit.
Although the M2 is an amazing looking thing, I would say the M235 is probably more than most people would need.

Every car salesman I have ever come across likes to pump up the scarcity factor for newly launched models. I had one trying to convince me just last week the 340i I looked at will have limited availability in SA indefinitely!
BMW would be foolish not to pump numbers on the M2 in all their markets, the similarity to the standard 2 series means production costs will be low and margins attractive. Dealers may try to make a fat gain from those eager to grab the first batch, but when three of your colleagues also arrive at work with M2's a couple of months later you'll feel the fool for paying up.
