What the M2 was supposed to be and the CS variant which is supposedly more hard-edged but now people want to dilute its core difference with the same electro-comfort wizardry that was the whole reason, they came out with the 1M and followed with the M2

It's not serious bro, the M2C/M2CS weights over 3,500lbs, it's not exactly a racecar nor is it a car designed for secretaries or metrosexuals and does not it pretend or is marketed to be one, hence my sarcasm.

It operates under the guise as a 'club sport' which is a hard-core street car that is also capable of holding its own on a track.

Adaptive Suspension is a type of automotive dampers that controls the vertical movement of the wheels relative to the chassis or vehicle body with an onboard system, rather than in passive suspension where the movement is being determined entirely by the road surface.

The active system does offers a greater level of ride quality and handling of the car. It does so by keeping the tires at right angles to the road in corners which gives better traction control.

It's existence started more than two decades ago. Formula One's racing Team Lotus first employed the active suspension. Hardly a car for effeminate species.

Just like the electronic torque-vectoring LSD that makes M cars stand out about the rest, adaptive suspension adds another layer of dynamism enhancement to the vehicle.

And don't get it twisted, the only reason it was excluded in the M2/M2C is due to cost-cutting, not because M2C was made for burly, hairy-chested men, as you seem to believe.

The M2 CS just had a bigger budget to work it and BMW saw the benefits of adding electronic, variable dampers. To suggest any other reason for it's existence is just asinine.
