For canyon carving, both the 0-100km/h and 80-120km/h performance matter (but mainly use of 2nd and 3rd gear).
0-100km/h | 0-62mph (official figures): - M3/M4 ZCP (331kW | 450hp): 4.0s (M-DCT) | 4.2s (6MT)
- M2 CS (331kW | 450hp): 4.0s (M-DCT) | 4.2s (6MT)
- M3/M4 CS (338kW | 460hp): 3.9s (M-DCT)
80-120km/h | 50-75mph (official figures): - M3/M4 ZCP in 4th gear: -
- M2 CS in 4th gear: 3.1s (M-DCT) | 3.3s (6MT)
- M3/M4 CS in 4th gear: 3.4s (M-DCT)
- M3/M4 ZCP in 5th gear: 4.3s (M-DCT) | 4.2s (6MT)
- M2 CS in 5th gear: 4.1s (M-DCT) | 4.0s (6MT)
- M3/M4 CS in 5th gear: 4.3s (M-DCT)

I seriously doubt the M2cs will be faster than an M4cs on in gear pulls given the significant mid range power advantage of the M4cs tune over the ZCP/M2cs tune and negligible weight difference.
