Beautiful.

Unless you got Cup2 tires, this is exactly my built. I am still scheduled for production. You are tormenting me!
I have PSS. So we have the same spec

Hello everyone,

In September 2020, I got interested in M2 CS. I admit that his presentation last fall didn't bother me and although I have always enjoyed the M2s, I remain a big fan of the M3 F80s. So it was really late (not to say the last moment) that I got interested in this car. I forwarded the desired configuration to my BMW dealer and then requested an offer. I was really undecided. My dealer called me in mid September to let me know that there were only 3 lots available (to configure) for Switzerland. I told him I needed more time. Two days later, my dealership called to let me know that there was only one M2 CS left and that I had to make a decision. It was a Friday. At midday I called him to tell him that I needed the weekend to decide... and if the car was sold on Monday, I could only blame myself… On Friday evening, my dealership informed me that they bought the car and that I could thus decide to take it or not as I wish !! The car was due to arrive in November. On October 6, I received a photo of the M2 CS which had been ordered exactly as I wanted!
On October 10th I went to see the car, drove it and you know the story ...

So why I changed my mind?

- My kids are 4 and 7 years old so they can attach their seatbelts by themself.
- The car looks stunning in person (pics don't do justice). So I immediately fall in love with it. I have to say I still prefer F80's asses which are so agressive and muscular.
- The feeling is very nice and it feels special to drive. Due to break in period I am not able to really compare it to the F80 but the S55 already feels very powerful in such a small package!
- The car somewhat reminds me my dad's E46 back in the 00's (and the color somewhat reminds me Laguna Seca Blue). Regarding the size it is a mix between my ex "little" Z4MC and the "big" F80.


F80 vs F87 *I did 300kms so I will be able to give you a better feedback soon...
+
*I am very happy.
*It feels sportier and more precise.
*Brake are more sensitive and seems to be more powerful.
*Globally the car feels somewhat more special than F80 (hard to explain).
*Merino leather and M4 CS's seats are gorgeous and I like a lot the alcantara steering wheel.
*The look is very special and agressive.
*It has all the key goodies of the best M cars (CF roof, CF hood, specific exhaust, big break,...).

-
*Exhaust note is quieter than my ex F80 (due to OPF). But it seems not that bad. It has a classic L6 sound, a bit less metallic than the F80 while driving.
*Harmann Kardon is less good than F80.
*LED lights are less effective while doing 180° turns on mountain roads by nights.
*I prefer F80's ass (much more agressive).
*No leather dash (but at the end of the day that's not that important...)
*Austin Yellow paint was sometimes mesmerizing while Misano is nice but less exotic.
*They could have done a unique color for the M2 CS.

Stunning car! Rear could be a bit more aggressive but the rest of the car makes up for it.

Your F80 and M2CS are the exact color combos I would have gone for, both stunning cars. Very interesting comparison, thanks for sharing.

Lovely car but am with you on this. Way back in 1999 I was 26 and felt the M3 was too kiddish and went with the S4. 😂😂. Since then I've been bouncing around w the E92 and an F10 thrown in and reupped with a second M4. Now I'm 47 and can't picture myself in an M2. The only car that will get me to go the other way is the GR Yaris!!!

I'm in my 50s and I bought one!

If you need a "big boy" vehicle, try a Mack truck. For the best overall package including driver involvement, fun-factor, handling, and shear driving pleasure, there hasn't been a more memorable BMW since the 1M than the F87 M2CS.

I agree! I had a 1M when it came out. And now I have the M2C. Love them both. Also I am 46.

Dafuq?!..

Styling of a kids car?.. really, as compared to what?.
Is it the Misano blue color option that triggers folks?
Styling is subjective, but c'mon, the m2 competition was already wearing it well, lauded by many and now the CS is dressed to kill.

I mean sh!t, this is not "probably" and more so evidently one of the most focused driver cars in bmws line up at this moment..

The formula is damn near perfect blend of components making for the pinnacle expression of engineering in the outgoing gen and unsurprisingly those additional improvements come at a premium.

The price is what it is.

We can all agree to disagree or not.
Go get your Porsche or Yaris if that toots yer horn..
