The brand new M2 CS isn’t good. BMW skipped the guide gearbox and the carbon fiber hood that the “F87” had, and in addition did away with the carbon entrance splitter from the earlier era. I nonetheless suppose the ducktail spoiler is greater than it must be, whereas the pricing is predictably prohibitive. Nonetheless, for those who’re after the last word G87, that is the one to get. New photos of the Competitors Sport present the most well liked by-product up to now in its pure habitat.
BMW Poland immortalized the 2025 M2 CS on the native Silesia Ring. The regional department introduced a hanging instance painted in Velvet Blue. It’s the one Particular person coloration accessible, although you possibly can select from three common hues. The compact RWD machine is out there in M Brooklyn Gray, M Portimao Blue, or Sapphire Black. Hopefully, you just like the matte gold bronze wheels as a result of they’re the one ones accessible.
It’s actually a wild combo and, in time, it might show to be probably the most helpful configuration of the M2 CS. Except for the carbon fiber trunk lid with its CSL-style design component, the automotive doesn’t look dramatically completely different from the usual model. BMW did give the entrance finish a barely extra aggressive design, however until you’re a diehard fanatic, it’s unlikely you’ll discover the distinction.
Whereas the previous-generation M2 topped out with the CS, BMW did secretly construct a one-off CSL prototype. With the G87, there’s a larger likelihood of a manufacturing CSL occurring nearer to the top of the cycle. Within the meantime, the following step to raise the M2 formulation is thru an xDrive model. It’s supposedly coming as early as subsequent yr.
For now, M is specializing in the CS, with manufacturing on the San Luis Potosí plant starting in August. BMW plans to begin its first deliveries within the third quarter of the yr. Manufacturing will probably be restricted by time fairly than quantity. The Mexican plant will churn M2 CS items for about 12 months. Throughout this era, BMW might manufacture roughly 2,000 automobiles.
If a full-fat M2 CSL is within the pipeline, you’d higher begin saving now. The CS is already a six-figure automotive in the USA. Okay, it “solely” prices $99,775, however with the optionally available $8,500 carbon-ceramic brakes and a $3,000 Particular person coloration, it crosses into the $100,000+ territory.
