They changed the model name from "M2 Cs" back to "M2 Competition"

Somethings up with the bimmer.work site, not seeing the background or images of the car. Here are a couple of lookup screen shots.

This shit is getting ridiculous. It's like BMW has no idea what to name it. Almost like they frequent this forum... "These guys do have a point with the difficult distinction between ZCP and Competition, let's call it Cs!"

...1 week later

"They're complaining about the Cs name now! Guess they have a point with the difficult distinction between Cs and CS, let's just back track to Competition, we already manufactured the Comp badges. They'll just have to deal."

bmw, keep it "Competition" dammit. I'm in the hole for a c-note on this license plate.

OK, I took a quick look.

That public BMW VIN Decoder site apparently seems to have switched to Commodore 64 mode now.

At first glance no changes in EURO-spec VINs: still "2U71" for LHD and "2U72" for RHD, both still labelled "M2 Cs".

Two changes in USA-spec VINs: "2U73" became "2U7C" (that's new) and "M2 Cs" got switched back to "M2 Competition" again (as before).

troll much BMW?

Tag, that public BMW VIN Decoder site seems back to normal again.

Changes:

• EURO-spec VINs "2U71" (LHD):
  • still "2U71" type name + "M2 Cs" model name
  • except for the latest scheduled one (VB08439): changed to "2U7A" type name + "M2 Competition" model name (as before)
  • model pictures still displayed
• EURO-spec VINs "2U72" (RHD):
  • still "2U72" type name + "M2 Cs" model name
  • model pictures still displayed
• USA-spec VINs "2U73" (LHD):
  • all changed to "2U7C" type name + all changed to "M2 Competition" model name (as before)
  • model pictures no longer displayed

If there is any logic behind, then the "2U72" type name for the EURO-spec RHD may change to "2U7B" + all model names may change back to "M2 Competition" (as before).

Or all these recent changes could just be temporary, with everything swapping back to the initial "2U71", "2U72" and "2U73" type names and "M2 Competition" model name.

EURO-spec LHD:


EURO-spec RHD:


USA-spec:

Does this mean it will be CS in the UK and Comp everywhere else?

Didn’t BMW do this previously with the E46 CS?

You assume that BMW controls that public BMW VIN Decoder. Maybe that's not the case. Personally I don't know.

The websites http://www.bmwarchive.org/ and http://www.bmwarchiv.de/vin/ are very well-informed about BMW data. Both link to that BMW VIN Decoder. Very easy to find, free access worldwide and no registration or password required. So not some obscure website hidden somewhere on the Dark Web.

It's safe to assume that bimmer.work just connects to the same database like parts vendors do -and the database is indeed BMW controlled

Today the local Dealer Principal told me the next release in Australia is the M2 Competition, due shortly, around May. Then the M2 CS will be released later in the year, followed by the CSL, likely to be early next year.
