AFAIK, on the M2 CS, "CS" stands for "Clubsport" or "Club Sport".

- "CS" does neither stand for "Coupé Sport" nor for "Competition Sport" (though that moniker was used back in 2016 for 60 special M4 cars sold on the Spanish market: see here and here);
- "CSL" stands for "Coupé Sport Leichtbau" ("Coupé Sport Lightweight (construction)").
See more in general the dedicated thread by moderator Law here ("Origins of BMW CS & CSL Models").
However, some press mentions that "CS" in "M2 CS" stands for "Competition Sport".
BMW launch materials expressly refer to "Clubsport" (see here):
This immensely capable car also serves as a basis for the BMW M2 CS Racing model, BMW M Motorsport’s new entry point to amateur racing and the new Clubsport segment from the 2020 season. “The joint development of the BMW M2 CS and BMW M2 CS Racing underscores the close links between BMW Motorsport and BMW M GmbH,” explains Markus Flasch, Chairman of the Board of Management of BMW M GmbH. “Our skillsets converge at the midway point between high-performance cars for the road and all-out racing machines – i.e. in the expanding Clubsport segment. We’re covering this niche with the Clubsport variant of the BMW M2 CS Racing and will be working in a similar direction with future special-edition models from BMW M.” |
