Of course it would. Don't get me wrong, CS is a great package and depending on the pricing, this might attract a lot of buyers (even current M2C owners). However, for example, there is not a single thing that is available on the M3/M4 CS and cannot be added to the other M3/M4 models. I believe this will be the case for the M2CS and M2C as well. If you are after the CS badge and willing to pay the premium then it's the way to go but saying "Much more than a warranty voiding tune and carbon fiber bits go into a CS" is not very accurate because that's pretty much it. Many people, like myself, are only interested in the tune, CF bits, and other enhancements that can be easily coded (steering, diff etc). Not interested in any of those fancy interior trim pieces or the CS badge. The biggest appeal of CS IMO is being able to retain the factory warranty while having a nice tune and I'm totally ok with risking my warranty if M2CS will be priced similar to how M3/M4 CS is priced. And finally, I don't think anybody is claiming a modded M2C is an M2CS but it sure can perform like one after the adding the changes I mentioned above.

Yea I get all that I suppose. When I said , a factory CS is much more than just a warranty voiding tune and carbon fiber bits , I was "quoting" the the post that was implying that.

Here's my point and I think it's worthy. I have been through quite a few cars in my life and I've gone down the "mod it road" to meet or exceed the performance specs of higher factory model and personally Im over it. By the time you do the homework and (hopefully) choose the right parts, pay for them and have them shipped, pay to have them installed if you can't do it yourself, and hope that you got it all right it can add up. Plus costly mistakes can be made along the way. Ask me how I know. Then after all that, at the end of the day you still do not have a "CS" (or whatever). Then there's that not so minor warranty thing.

I get what your saying but I have learned over time that paying up front for a factory package is not such a bad deal. Lastly, good luck getting your money back when you go to sell your modded car. Maybe I'm just getting old and lazy.
