This argument vs M2CS official map on M2C is bit of a apples and oranges argument.

There are plenty of members of this forum that seem to be very happy with the performances of their tuned OG and LCI, and not much seem to have reliability problem. Now, I get your point: I would surely trust more the reliability of a S55 de-detuned back from 410hp to 450hp with a copy of a BMW map than the one of a N55 heavily modified to reach the same power.

How can you consider the M2CS special if any M2C can easily aspire to become one. Even the extra stuff like the Adaptive Suspensions and Seats are pretty much recycled stuff from the M4. Come to think of it, even the tune as a baseline is probably recycled from the M4CS. It's not too unrealistic to actually interpret the continuous testing done as them struggling making it work without it becoming a future liability. Zero innovation and lazy approach.

You"re hard with BMW. Developing a brand new engine, or suspension, or interior for a very-limited-volume version of the 2 series, which is now very close to the end of its lifecycle, would make no financial nor commercial sense at all. That's already an amazing news that they develop further the M2 concept with this CS version, IMO.
