Not to be THAT guy, but the 500 is the rough estimate for the CS's alloted to the US. There are 2200 to be made for the globe. Not trying to be an ass.

That's not the point of the M2. The M2 is precision handling and a balance of power. That's Why I bought the OG M2 when it was announced. It's not about straight line. If it was about straight line I would have gotten a HellCat etc over this. To me going straight requires no skill especially with a DCT or automatic gearbox. The M2 is the same wheel base as the E46M so to me it was perfect modern day M3. |

I can afford it but definitely won't be buying it.
I work hard for my money and see no sense in flushing it down the toilet for an M2 comp in limited numbers with a few carbon mods. Sorry bmw - I'm a lot of things but gullible ain't one of them. There is no collectibility here - these will sink faster than M4/M3 CS prices. That was a mighty tumble indeed. |

They may or may not be collectible one day, but the market floor looks pretty high for this type of car. |

Did BMW ON THE M2CS fix the Crank Hub issue? If they did that would great.

CanAutM3 is a good example of someone with experience with both (I believe he had a base M4 before he got the CS). I would check out some of his posts for detailed perspectives on how the CS is much more than how you're describing it. He's also very technical in those descriptions and comments, which lends a lot of weight (in my book, anyway) that he's got a good point. I don't see the M2CS as an unworthy bearer of the CS badge...rather, I think BMW is pricing the car higher than is necessary to move them. It's too bad they didn't come in at the 75K mark, and make as many as people wanted.

Apparently that's not working out too well for you so far
Well, now that I'm here I might as well add some more fuel to the fire I'd wager that a US spec M2 CS will come in slightly lighter than a US spec M2 C The CF roof should save around 10-11 pounds The CF hood should save around 18-20 pounds The CF center console should save around 6 pounds The 763M wheels should save around 16-20 pounds The PSC2 tires (if optioned) should save around 2 pounds Estimated weight savings around 52-59 pounds I don't know the total weight added by the M adaptive suspension, but I think it's highly unlikely that it's more than 50 pounds Overall, it's not a huge amount of weight savings, but it is almost certainly not heavier Comparing a M2 CS to a base spec M2 C in other markets would be another story as they come standard with lighter seats, lighter brakes and lighter wheels There is no doubt that BMW elected not to grab some low hanging fruit in the interest of saving weight such as using manual seats or a lighter battery, but remember that we're talking about a M2 CS and not a M2 CSL |

THIS! CS = Coupe Sport. I'm not a huge BMW fanatic, I simply like what I currently drive. I'm unaware if the previous CS's were lighter than their other trim counterparts. The CSL obviously would make sense, as would the GTS. I would expect those to be lighter than the other trims. I'm not sure why we all assumed the CS was supposed to be lighter than the Comp?

Hey guys,
I posted the following in another thread, but also felt it might be appropriate to re-iterate here as well. Random observation: every few months there'll be a new member join the forum, and invariably every post is either an attack upon other forum members or some sort of insult or a very aggressive and antagonistic comment. I have to assume it's either: a) that new member joined specifically with the intention of trolling everyone, or b) that new member is genuinely trying to be a constructive part of a community, but perhaps simply doesn't have the EQ to avoid insulting others, or c) that new member is always my cousin, Ken, who keeps coming back on the forum under different usernames. Whichever one it is, I would suggest the best course of action might be simply to not engage. "Don't feed the trolls," as they say! And, Ken, if that's you, knock it off! Sorry that we didn't have you over for Thanksgiving, but the whole political monologue / diatribe the previous year resulted in my wife asking me to conveniently forget to invite you this year! |

I've been using Bimmerpost for years now and I still don't know how to "double quote" or repost certain items but some of these "new members" are as skilled as a chef with a knife in Bimmerpost modus operandi and knowledge of previous conversations. Very questionable and leads me to believe it must be The Masked Troll. 🤨 |
