BMW’s smallest M -Auto has just beaten Away About his weight. On April 11, 2025, the BMW M development driver Jörg Weidinger moved the new BMW M2 CS around the 20.823-kilometer north loop and mixed the compact class file and 8 seconds and an improvement of 13 seconds over his own 2023-lap in the standard M2-LAP.
“Performance, technology, emotions – thrown in a compact package”, “ said BMW M -CEO Franciscus van Meel after the run.
After we drove both the M3 and the M4 CS, we know that the new M2 -CS will be quick. But this improvement is shocking. How did BMW do that? Here is a quick look:
| Key specification | M2 CS -upgrade | Why is it important |
|---|---|---|
| Motor | S58 3.0-L inline-Six, 530 PS / 650 Nm | +39 hp against basic car; the straightforward symphony keeps life |
| Weight loss | ≈ 30 kg thanks to the CFRP roof, hood, splinter and cabin cladding | Every kilo saved shaving seconds in the carousel |
| chassis | Model-specific engine brackets, adaptive M suspension, forged wheels | More lateral grip; Faster temporary reaction |
| transmission | 8-course M Steptronic with linchpin and focal point paddling | Start the control that is actually strengthening at a plant garden |
Our attitude
At a time when electrification sprints, the M2 CS proves that room and customers still gives appetite for an analog fireworks with rear-wheel drive. It is 7: 25.5 not just a lap time; It is a love letter to the hair-raising steering feeling, a greasy Straight-Six and the thesis that a great M-car is often the smallest that you can buy.
