Two remarks:
  • 00:55: "very lightweight": that's rather flattering for the M2 CS:
    • 6MT: 1550 kg DIN / 1625 kg EU;
    • M-DCT: 1575 kg DIN / 1650 kg EU;
  • 03:27: "it's also a robust investment; our limited edition cars have always proven to be very robust investments": seen the M4 GTS, M4 CS and M3 CS prices lately ?
Only tidbit of 'new' information (01:54 - 02:28):
BMW Today: "One thing I have ask you because it's been mentioned so many times in the forums. You brought out the M2. Then you upgraded to the Competition. Now we can see a CS. Will there be also a CSL or what is the overall strategy ?"
Markus Flasch: "To be honest, we haven't decided yet, but we will do more Sondermodelle [special models] than in the past. We want to show that our cars are deriven from the race track and we want to close the gap between competition high-performance car and a race car. And the CS, or maybe even a CSL, alternatives that we are elaborating."
There is already the F87 M2 CS Racing (not street legal). With the F87 M2 EOP (end of production) scheduled for June 2021, it's getting pretty late to start elaborating an F87 M2 CSL project. If an F87 M2 CSL doesn't exist yet or is not yet in the works right now, then it won't come. Except if they lazily make Michelin Pilot Sport Cup2 tires and M-CCB standard + throw in bucket seats, a roll cage, a fire extinguisher and add a CSL badge on the boot of the "very lightweight" M2 CS. Anyways, those with an M2 CS on order might think "Say what ?!" when hearing this.
