One of the main things to decide would be how long you were likely to keep it. M2s are still dropping reasonably quickly but you might be able to get in and out of a 1M over a couple of years without a lot of depreciation.
!m still going lower then you think too? IMO the collectible angle for now has run aground. M2 tempting but yes i think 25k for one is upon us...

I'd go 1M, but i can see the draw to the M2 - nice looking cars, newer slightly quicker and DCT option, long beach blue looks good on them.
All depends what you want i guess...
1M:
-More Collectable
-Stick shift more involving
-Can have Valencia orange
-Rarer
-Will hold its resale value better
-Future Classic
M2:
-Supply is easy, so not rare really - still being made
-DCT is more common - arguably faster, but less involving (I find)
-Cant get orange.
-Will depreciate more than 1M due to supply being greater
-Personally if i bought one i'd have Manual, as more likely to be collectable and rarer in future, and more involving to drive
Just my personal views.
Nice choice to have though, maybe go see both, drive and then review your feelings after.
Happy Hunting

Am off next week am going to go take a look and compare.
Never keep on ironing out cash on cars so the 1M may be the winner.
How does white grad you though ? One at Dk 41 k sure will be cheaper

I don't think the market will completely drop for the M2 second hand. They had a real good run with the "limited supply" and people believing they would be scarce because of the 1M. They then dumped a lot of cars on the market in the last 6 months of production. They're trying to do the same routine with the M2C and "limited supply" but supply is still outstripping demand on the M2C.
1M is and will be collectable and is far more likely to hold its money over a couple of years.
The issue for me is when i come to sell it in 18 months and im long old list of sellers all over the classifieds. 1M is and will be collectable and is far more likely to hold its money over a couple of years.
I guess at least with the 1M if its one of those cars i end up keeping its not going to 20k anytime soon

Bit more ££ than the DK car, but with BMW approved warranty? and Orange.
That DK car looks nice, low miles, priced well compared to the others.

Thats a tidy car, low miles, and has some expensive bits fitted (bmw performance) those seats look really good.
But how much? POA? I always give POA cars a wide berth myself, cant be doing with the hassle, for me the dealer either know how much they asking or not! I think just print the price! FFS.
