Pretty much, although I would argue that the larger front spoiler and vented hood should offer a slight improvement in cooling and reducing front end lift (not that they need to be made from carbon fiber)

Anyhow, as I think Poochie pointed out earlier in this thread, when one looks beyond the pretty new bits on the M2 CS the only truly significant difference I see is the fully integrated M adaptive suspension (which many serious track rats would likely swap out for high end coilovers anyway)
True story. As Poochie indicated .. I wouldn't be at all surprised to see all M2 get adaptive suspension by model end... perhaps immediately after the M2 CS production ends.

BMW will reduce SKU and since they have already got tons of stock of adaptive parts they will very likely discontinue the original and put adaptive across the M2 range as the M4 sunsets.

Another reason for adding adaptive to the CS is that it matches up with the competition in marketing. Camaro 1LE and GT500 both have adaptive/magnetic setups along with other competitors.
