The CS is just a M catalog CF parts addition. That’s a lot of money for a cosmetic change as the weight savings is a minor, minor foot note. This is pure BMW marketing from its play book to extract more money and I am not a price point buyer and I can see that.

I don’t care for the CF add-on look myself other than the hood. The hp bump remains to be be seen as real world dyno runs of a stock M2C proves not to have been detuned. The take away is it’s a cosmetic addition more than anything as the performance difference between the two will be negligible. If you wanted to personalize or trick out your M2C, you could do it yourself for a lot less money.
I bought exactly what I wanted.
