The BMW M2 is the entry point into the high-performance world of real BMW M cars (discounting the M240i and the like), and promises to put a smile on your face at the push of the start button. If you bought one five years ago and still have it, you’ll probably be happy to see how little it has depreciated in value.
The 2020 M2, which was available in Competition and CS trims, has fallen in value by 28%, according to figures AutoEdge. In fact, their estimates indicate that the value of the 2020 M2 actually increased by 3.5% over the 2021 model. This may have to do with demand for the M2 CS, a more powerful and lighter version of the M2 Competition that was produced in limited numbers – only 2,300 units worldwide, of which more than 600 were delivered to the US. The M2 Competition cost $59,895 at launch, while the M2 CS cost about $25,000 more at $84,595, which could help justify CarEdge’s current quote of $55,270. 2020 M2s. Kelley Blue Book has pegged the M2 Competition’s depreciation at around 34%, with the car now valued at $39,562, while the M2 CS has – unsurprisingly – depreciated even less, at just over 24%.
If you own a 2020 M2, especially the CS, it may make sense to hold on to it, as these cars have held their value phenomenally well, while new M2s are astronomically priced. The 2026 BMW M2 just surpasses the $100,000 mark – a significant sum for the smallest M car you can buy. Plus, there’s a good chance yours is a manual, as this has been the most popular choice among recent M2 buyers, which only adds to the driving pleasure.
The M2 is an outlier in the BMW range when it comes to depreciation
What made the M2 appealing was its quick handling and a 3.0-liter six-cylinder engine that produced 405 hp and 406 lb-ft of torque in Competition guise, which made for fun driving even if the ride was a bit harsh. The M2 CS upped the ante with 444 hp and 406 Nm of torque, propelling the baby M to 60 mph in 3.4 seconds – half a second quicker than the competition. It also sets it apart from the entry-level M2 with its adaptive suspension, carbon fiber bits and Michelin Cup tires. While most BMWs lose value quickly, the M2 is an outlier because it delivers both thrilling performance and a surprisingly high resale value.
