You guys are right, what a waste of a "review"

It reminds me at that time I downloaded the wrong movie but still watched it anyway..

At the very least it's the best look I've seen at those arch extensions.

Not sure how I feel about them anymore.

Same goes for the front splitter that I already ordered.

Starting to think I like the standard comp front lip more.

Edit: upon further inspection that car looks absolutely sick

Comes with weight reduction (over M2C)

Ahhhm, no again!

Upgraded engine

What?!!! Tune with a WHOPPING 39 more horsepower over the M2C! Is that what we now call an upgraded engine?

MT vs DCT

DCT chosen because, according to the professional driver, it is "better for the track." Thank you good sir, you are correct . . . but you could have just as easily had someone push the car around the track and give the same useless feedback provided in this video.

As stated above in other posts, this was a complete waste of internet space.

Also I will add, the background noise & music made it very hard to hear what he was saying, until the video was nearly over.

Those added pics are verrry nice. If I was in for it, probably would have swayed me to AW!

The white / black / red trim is a natural BMW motorsport look for me.

2:44 - Dave you better pre-warn family and friends you’ll be smiling like this when you become a M2 CS owner

In the current economic climate I hope these are available for around £60k a few months after launch.

They just renewed the track at Zolder, maybe they were afraid of going to fast in case they pulled the asphalt up! lol

Likely the dealership intends to sell the car someday.

If that's the purpose, videos of thrashing the car on track with drifts, burnouts and donuts wouldn't be a smart idea.

It's a dealership car.

So yeah, technically speaking, for BMW, it's a sold car. Just like all M4 GTS, M4 CS and M3 CS that ever got delivered to BMW M dealerships (regardless whether those found a customer).

Video started off bad for me when the guy shut the 8-series door with his fingers on the glass (0:56-0:58) and then put his fingers on the glass of the M2 CS when opening the door (1:05)! Both pet peeves of mine -- first time with frameless windows?.

Wait until he touches your iDrive screen whilst eating a sausage roll with sauce.
