So I called a dealership today and was told that if I placed an order today the expected arrival would be Oct /Nov. ..which isn't exactly great driving weather.
Is it worth it to wait for 2017 model?

Is it worth it to wait for 2017 model? | Because of high demand for the Euro trip, BMW added an extra trip in mid June (original trip is in May) for M2 customers. With that being said, almost all the early production M2 produced in March to May will be allocated to those attending.
MY2016 M2 stops production in 06/16, so MY2017 starts production in 07/16. If you are expecting delivery in Oct or Nov, Most likely your car will be a MY2017 as shipping from Germany to Canada takes around 8-10 weeks. If you want to make sure, just let your sales person know that you want their first allocation for a 2017 M2. U.S. 2016 BMW Model Year Production Map | |

As of now, there are only three allocations left for a 2016 M2. If the order is placed today, then production would be in June/July, in which the car would arrive around Oct/Nov. Unfortunately, all spots for the European Tour are filled in both phases, but they are taking names for a waiting list.
The deposit amount is $5000 and the rates aren't released yet for the car, but will most likely be 4.99% for finance and 5.9% for lease.
Ordering process is fairly straight forward since there's no packages to choose from except for exterior colour and some standalone options. I have attached a bulletin and order guide if you have any questions regarding the car itself. The ordering part can be done over phone, if you are comfortable with that, where I would just email over documents to confirm and sign.
| that's what he said to me today.

There is no way the M2 will be a 1 year only production right?
Would the price from the M2 go up in 2017 given the success of the 2016 model in terms of how fast they were sold out?

they did it with the RC as well, but only minimally, iirc +/- $1k
but yeah, if it's such a long wait, who knows what other cars will be announced or pique your interest from now til then

Lol yup
Weird part is I have no idea where I'm gonna live yet as I'm getting transfered for work soon.
So far it might be Vancouver , Calgary, Edmonton or Toronto.
If it's on the west coast I'll be sure to try to show up to a Revscene meet =)

And I know every BMW dealership I called in bc had at least 6 or 7 sold already.
I'm guessing the LBB color will be popular for the M2 too

I hope someone will make OEM-looking widebody kit that make this look as aggressive as the 1M
edit: I thought the 1M rear fenders are more pronounced...nevermind 
def seem like heavier cars for its size...e46 m3 coupe weighs around the same. I'm sure it'll be a riot to own...jelly.
