And the price... exactly enough to buy two M2s over here: from €161.900.

Not really, I had one for about 3 years. The only fluid that is expensive is the transmission fluid which has to be swapped out every 18000 miles. OEM is expensive but aftermarket you can find the fluid for $500.

Depends what you class as expensive.

Over here tyres,brake pads and servicing is very expensive compared to BMW not to mention insurance,road tax etc...

I had one for a year, the gearbox is awesome. The dual clutch auto gearbox in the gtr was the reason I didn't get a 1M. When the M2 came out with a DCT, it was a must.

I'll be most interested how it compares.

The tyres on the gtr were pretty expensive at £2k a set, also the camber on the front meant it went through them quickly, but still loved it.

I took my GTR to the track which went through tires and brakes like water. At that point the GTR was extremely expensive to maintain but holy smokes it was a blast.
