But really it comes down to your use and desire.
If you want cheap thrills/ bang for buck/ track rat, then get yourself an OG and mod away. There is no doubt it is a great drive and is good value.
If you want ‘something special’/ the pinnacle of M2 (and arguably BMW, but that it subjective of course) then CS is a standout.
The good news is there is no ‘wrong’ choice ��

This exactly! With one caveat: The OG M2 seats are... bad. With the money saved over the CS, install new seats, a cool hood, lightweight wheels and some carbon bits. If you can live the N55, you are in business! FWIW, I had an N55 in the past and it is a great engine overall, and very tunable.
