There was no noticeable difference. The E46 CSL is an entirely different story however.
This is a very fair point. It is possible that the driving dynamics of the CS will not exceed the CP by much. However, I am buying due to exclusivity and the fact that it is the most desirable (for me) stock BMW I can buy with a manual transmission. I was disappointed to not have that option with the M4 CS/GTS.

I owned an F80 ZCP and prefer my old E60 as far as ‘big manual BMW’s’ are concerned. More of an event to drive.

The M2 is just the right size and with the manual + exclusivity it becomes a must-add for me. I can see though why someone may not want to drop the $$ to ‘upgrade’ from an M2 CP.
I understand your position. The lack of a manual transmission option negated my desire to upgrade to a CS or GTS.
