M2 BMW M2 [official thread]

Nice touch on the new instrument cluster

If you mean the black panel display, that's been in place for a year since the LCI and is nothing to do with the Competition being introduced.

Interesting. Spied today. M2 with camouflage roof, bonnet, front splitter and rear spoiler...

Care to place your bets?

"Tuner" MTC design has done something I want....

MTC Design & Automotive Ltd

It's obviously based on the BMW Vision GT from the Gran Turismo gaming franchise... It's a car I'm somewhat obsessed with!

My bet.

Saw this M2 with manual gearbox yesterday at our local dealership. Looks great with gold wheels...

M2 cs(l)

 

[Matski]

I could see it being a M2 CS, based on the visual cues from the M4 CS... but there doesn't look to be enough going on there for a CSL.

I agree. I would bet this is going to arrive as a "CS".

The Mx > Competition > CS pattern is established and there ought to be no precedent involving the CSL moniker.

At 06:30 tho

Seriously, the gearbox shifts back to 2nd gear even in manual-mode?!

 

[mihc]

As I said in the other thread already. I was expecting much better laptime. Only 3 seconds faster than Z4 M40i. I think as great as this car is, it's too heavy.

Is really BMW M2 CS or a BMW M2 Competition with M Performance Parts? The only different part is the "Air Breather" on the side...

Aren't they the same thing, except the CS is an extra $20,000?

Will the M2 CS finally bring in the Adaptive M Suspension for the M2?

 

[Betty Swollocks]

Will the M2 CS finally bring in the Adaptive M Suspension for the M2?

I would *guess* not, as that is quite a major change to the chassis for what will be a very low production model. I would expect the CS to get a lot of items from the M Performance catalogue, combined with a power bump (circa 425hp), and then a hefty price tag to match.

It would have the same number of buyers with or without Adaptive M suspension, so why go to the trouble of developing it? Sadly that is the way of the modern world. Most decisions made in the boardroom by looking at a financial spreadsheet.

Not saying you're wrong, but I'm reasonably sure that the adaptive suspension could be added, most of the rest of the suspension seems fairly interchangeable between the M4 and M2, and it would provide a useful differentiator between a CS model and a standard model.

Personally I'm not a fan of this mixing and matching of pars options to create new 'badges'.

My M2 LCI with 788M competition wheels. 10 months in and this is "probably" my last mod!

Looks great and sounds better than the M2C.
