There was a time when BMW specified exactly how many units of a CS-badged car it wanted to produce. Those days are over as we never learned production details for the M4 CS or M3 CS Touring. Nor has Munich said a word about how many M2 CS models will roll off the assembly line at the Mexican plant in San Luis Potosi.
Luckily for Japanese customers, BMW has confirmed that only 87 cars will be sold locally. This number appears to be more of a coincidence than a deliberate nod to the codename “G87.” From what we’ve heard, fewer than 2,000 units will be built worldwide. However, the final number depends on customer demand. Sources close to M say production will wrap in July 2026.
The automaker can adjust production based on the number of orders received. Earlier this year, Sylvia Neubauer, vice president of customer, brand and sales at BMW M, told us that there was “huge demand” for the M2 CS. At the end of June, the USA led the sales, followed by Germany and China.
At the Japan Mobility Show 2025, BMW is showing the M2 CS in Individual Velvet Blue, probably the most striking of the available paint finishes. If you’re looking for something more subtle, you can choose between Sapphire Black, Brooklyn Gray or M Portimao Blue. Regardless of the color, all vehicles are equipped with these eye-catching forged wheels in matt gold bronze.
In Japan, the M2 CS costs 14,880,000 yen (US$97,000), plus the 10% consumption tax and options such as custom paint or carbon ceramic brakes. Deliveries will begin next month and all units will be right-hand drive.
What’s next: BMW isn’t finished with the second generation of the M2 yet. A Track package is due next year and xDrive is reportedly in development. The G87’s story could culminate with a CSL later this decade. It hasn’t been confirmed yet, but M certainly isn’t ruling it out.
