I'm hoping we get a G87 CS or CSL that gives me that feeling. I love the BMW brand and if people want to buy the new M2, that's great and I'm excited for them. |

The G87 CS will have the same transmission as my loaner car today, ZF 8 speed.
I'm in no way an SUV guy but if I was this is pretty cool. Extra points that your butt doesn't hurt in this car. It doesn't hurt in my CS either. That earlier poster must think we have uncomfortable seats. G87 is a great car for people other than me. |

I've driven a few cars with the ZF (the one in the Giulia Quadrifoglio was the best version, those paddles!), but the DCT in the M2 CS has far surpassed them. I'm quite curious what BMW can do with programming in the CSL to try to make it close.

It's possible the ZF will do the same in the retune, or just feel to sluggish. It seems like YouTube videos show fast upshifts, but the downshifts could still be slow |

Here is a video of a G87 in the wild under normal sunlight:
The G87 design is not for me. Drove the CS on some back roads during a perfect fall day today and I loved every second of it. When I get out in parking lots I still look back several times as I'm walking away like a total dork. |

Carbon fiber roof already. CF grill. Some splitters and spoilers here and there, a CF hood, some CF inside, an engine tune, a CS badge out back and you can charge an extra $25K. Easy peasy. I wonder how the car in the video drives and handles compared to our CS? If comparable, it would then just be a beauty contest.

Drove my CS with the whole family in on Sunday (4 of us in the car). No complaints about leg room either. Lots of room in this car if you don't set your driver's seat like a banana lounge.
That makes it weigh the same as a G series car. Weirdly enough it felt more like a G series car too. Still quick of course but less "urgent" and with a smoother ride. |

I think as others have said that the F8x will be a high water point for the M2. G series is so heavy. Looks fugly and drawn by an amateur to be contrarian and edgey for the sake of it. It won't age well whereas our M2CS will.

here is topgear's take on the CSL gearbox on track
fast forward to around 6:50 "....the gearbox is great on upshifts, but its got no place in a sports car" i've had a 2013 335i, and driven the new supra. not a fan
