G80/82 launch is going to be in Sep.
It will be a very interesting position for the M2CS to be in, asking 10k more than its newer and higher end siblings...
Especially when it comes to publishing ring times, the track oriented (relatively speaking) M2 CS will have similar or slower track times than the G8X...
I don't see anything other than the driving fun card left for the BMW to play, but let's see how ///Marketing manages the situation.
To me, very poor product planning from BMW. They may as well go full blown with Rebranded/Re-skinned Recaro CS (found from US performance model in 2017) and water injected S55 from the F82 GTS, boost it to 480-490hp, call it M2 GTS and ask 88k USD. They probably are going to be able to keep the same profitability while making a true halo M car. And all the issues around the value and hierarchy we're seeing today with the M2 CS would've been nonexistent. Dealers will mark it up to 100k and it will be very much sought after no doubt.
