Riiiight, because those are the two vehicles most likely to be cross shopped, the X2 M35i and the M2.
The existence of the X2 M35i doesn't negate your M2, or any other non-similar vehicle you may have or want. The X2 M35i is priced similar to "actually comparable" vehicles from Benz (upcoming GLA35) and Audi (upcoming SQ3). That's what matters. |

I believe the price difference is about $8k-$10k. Not quite the "same price".

Also, you seemed to have done quite a bit of rounding. The X2 seems to start at around $45-$46k. The R starts at around $40k last time I checked. |

Arguably, you can get more fun and similar/better utility for a much lower price. But that's just a guess.

Does it matter what it is? This car is basically a slightly lifted S3 (hatchback version we don't get, anyway). It's priced about the same and probably drives a bit sportier. Sure none of us would buy it, but it doesn't seem to be out of line from other cars in its class (GLA, S3, CLA, etc.)

The original M2 started at around $54-$55k right? And the Competition is $59k. The automatic M2 costs $3000 more as well.
The X2 m35i is $46,450. Still a bit pricey, but not out of the range of the competition. Certainly not "close enough" to the M2's starting price. I agree the m2 is a better deal still. I'd definitely rather pay an extra $9000 for the m2 (non competition), but $9000 is a significant amount of money. I'm not sure how that could be construed as being close in price to the X2 m35i. |

Recently had a chance to spend a few days in one as a loaner. S.A. asked what I thought of the car...looked at car, looked back and said "why"? He laughed. Said he gets that sort of reaction a lot.
Unfortunately many of these BMW models exist due to clever finance. Total agree with the Golf R comment above.
