So better stats without having to wait three long years. Also next-generation G87 M2 does not have DCT and is bigger and will weigh more. The weight increase definitely does not help 0-60.

Lastly I think the M2 CS is a big improvement for people who "only" have a OG M2 n55 version. You are getting a different engine and 79 horsepower increase, 41 torque increase, so a big difference on day one. I can understand M2 Competition owners only seeing a small incremental improvement.
You make a pretty good point here in explaining how this year's M2 CS may be the most powerful M2 until the G87 M2 CS, whenever that may be (2025?).

If the next M2 is set for 2023 release, I'd say there's no chance the follow-up M2CS would be released anytime sooner than 2028 my friend.
