Right! The only car BMW produced with matching interior/exterior/engine components in 1x1 plain weave was the E46 M3 CSL. The parts were beautifully fabricated. I had the OEM CF center console/armrest delete in my '05 IB ZCP M3 thanks to Crevier BMW. At the time my buddy Vaheh was able to procure OEM CSL parts through the dealer. If my pockets had been deeper at the time, I would've purchased the CF interior door panels too. Some other lucky chap on E46Fanatics bought those from my buddy. Sigh! Good times!

There are companies that do make metal kits for the cars to change the bushing set up. like for example M3 bushings on the E90 335. etc... IND etc. Hood, ok 10K USD, fenders, and trunk save weight, exhaust really needs to be changed. Wheels need changed to BBS F1R. Pads will need a change for sure. Aside from all these mods you end up spending another 20K in parts to make it what you want. DCT option is a no brainer. Cost for a semi track focused car. About 100K plus 20K in mods, is not bad. I will have to see how things are at Porsche these days. But we are talking about nearly 200K for a new 911 Carrara S well optioned, GT3 starts at 163 and GT3 RS is 200K plus. It's big money for cars. |

Looks fantastic! Special looking M2, at least BMW aren't scared of shaking up the pecking order (having an M2 being as powerful as M4).
I agree the wheels would look better in gunmetal/black but otherwise great little car, bets it's a hoot to drive. Will be interesting to see how the adjustable dampers change things on this platform... |

My guesstimate was/is $85K as base price for the US (see here). I mean, if I were on the US market, I'd consider everything below $85K as a 'bonus' for this car. But don't take my guesstimate as gospel - I got zero information about the US price.

Don't know whether this has been posted yet, but here's a picture of the M2 CS featuring the M2 CS Racing. No carbon mirror caps, normal hood and a weird choice of headlights on the Racing. Looks badass though.
Key specs: 95 000€ 280-365hp, later also 450hp DCT https://www.press.bmwgroup.com/globa...ng?language=en |

I suspect the headlights are the same as the M235i/240i Racing. Maybe it's cause racing homologation for headlights are more strict so they didn't want to run through it again (the M235i/40i's did VLN races and such). I don't think they'll change it.

There is nothing they need to do to run wider wheels / tires, just as an example, I'm running 9.5 x 20 ET23 on the front (stock 9x19 ET29) and 11x20 ET40 on the rear (Stock 10x19 ET40) with a 285 tire...with KW v3 coilovers this is just a perfect fit

So for Switzerland it is basically the same as an GT4 if you opt with DCT...wooow! It is a nice special car, but me personally would opt in for a GT4 in that price range...would not spend that much money on an platform that is now 6 years old... So I guess the US guys now have something to start with, just check out the GT4 pricing in the US |

outside of the exclusivity... which no one knows what that is yet... this car will sit at dealerships for ages with that price...
if you read that entire spec sheet... this car offers an exhaust, tune, a few cf bits and adap susp over the regular m2 comp... a serious track guy will install a solid set of coils anyways... that effectively leaves this car with almost nothing to offer...

I suppose I have been spoiled by my Porsche GT cars, but I was hoping for a better note on this *special edition*.

Engine start: 00:29-00:47: Compare with the exhaust sound (amid the muzak) in the official launch video:
