See here ("Second Drive: BMW M2 CS — The Best BMW But Not by Much").

And still not worth it.

that's a fair review. at the end of the day we all know its a matter of if you have the 20K comfortably to spend then you spend it. if not you buy the M2 Comp

Ha, mine will get driven every chance I can get, and it will barely be past break-in before it hits the track. So I disagree with that part of the assessment

I thought the same about mine. This week be my DD and plan to get to Barber next year. Drive it like you stole it baby!

I thought it was fair a well. Fantastic options for every budget.

I honestly have no idea how BMW has managed that but I wasn’t the only on at Monticello to feel that way, so I know I’m not crazy.

We don't know the specs. Same tires, tire pressure and similar tire wear ?

For example, it wouldn't be fair to make statements about the M2 CS road handling in pouring rain if it's sitting on Cup2: Cup2 has the disadvantage in treacherous road conditions. The same applies to using Cup2 on a nice dry road: those will outperform PSS or PS4S.

If compared back-to-back with the same tires, tire pressure and similar tire wear, sound statements can be made. We are talking about a car and a variant of that car, not two different cars such as M2 versus M3 or M2 CS versus Cayman GT4, so the base set-up has already a lot in common, like dizygotic twins.

I have driven my former M2 both with PSS and PS4S in pouring rain: better road handling with the PS4S.
