The time that flies safely when you believe that BMW has tested the G87 generation M2 CS for two years. That is correct – the first competition prototypes were discovered in April 2023. The world premiere only due later this year, so we still have to wait a little. In the meantime, M has returned to the Nürburgring to give the increased M2 the finishing touch.
A new spy video in the green hell shows the hotter M2 -CS in full attack mode. You can find that the driver punishes the car with the controlled drift, which confirms that it is a rear drive car. Despite the cladding, it is easy to see the angry front shot bars with large air inlets. The M3 E46 CSL-Stylled Ducktail Spoiler is difficult to overlook. Hiding under the Camo should be some parts of carbon fiber that are optional for the regular M2. The light parts are standard on the CS.
Although the test vehicle has the standard headlight, we believe that BMW will choose yellow day running light. You have the M3 CS Touring and M4 CS together with the M3 CS sedan. In addition, the M4 CSL and 3.0 CSL had the white DRLs in favor of a yellow look as an allusion to racing cars. In addition, the golden bronze wheels that we have reported in the past are missing.
Do not look for a switching change because the M2-CS will only be an automatic matter. The 3.0-liter twin turbo engine gets improvements to deliver 523 hp. This sets up the specification of the S58 with the M4 competition XDrive, although it is still 20 HP of M4 CS. The additional muscle is associated with less weight because BMW plans to cut 66 pounds (30 kilograms).
If reports on production in August are correct, the world premiere should appear in the coming months. As with other recent competitive sports models, BMW will probably limit production to a single year and earn less than 2,000 units. In addition to a rumored velvet blue special color, the M2 -CS in Sapphire Schwarz and Brooklyn Gray could also be offered.
Price? Hopefully they save for a long time. It could start in Germany over € 110,000 and 100,000 US dollars in the USA. With 25% tariffs, the M2 CS in the USA will undoubtedly cost a not quite as small fortune.
