This car is good but looks too similar to the outgoing M2C.

Could have done more to make the exterior stand out.

Let's hope the driving dynamics make it stand out from the M2C.

Good photos, thanks.

I always prefer static photos to some bozo with his jerky camera phone video and rambling narration.

I like the front splitter, don't care for the hole in the hood, and I do like that it is equipped with ceramic brakes, although I don't particularly enjoy driving with them. But as a track-focused beast, appropriate.

There is no outgoing M2C. The CS is in addition to the M2C not a replacement.

Yeah I know that smarty pants.

All I am saying is that they could have made the exterior to stand out more. It just looks too similar to my car.

I can put some M performance parts to my M2C and it will look almost the same as CS. I'm only talking about looks here.

Not sure how that the dynamics will be that different
Only difference is adaptive suspension ?

This isn't a Honda. There's only so much they can do without adversely affecting the aerodynamics of an already solid car.

Surely there is only so much you can do to it.

Maybe a different program to do with the different engine map but suspect it’s the same diff as fitted to all RWD M models

I know Mr, I own this car.

For close to $100K, this car looks too similar.

According to the BMW press release both the Comp and CS have Active M Differential linked to Integrated Chassis Management (ICM)

So they both have the same diff unless you have any evidence to the contrary ?

There is a lot of spin going on around the marketing which is typical BMW fashion... like for example... the solid mounted subframe without rubber bushings.... which has literally been around since every M3/M4/M2 since 2015.

Yeah as much as I try to convince myself (and others) that the "dry" carbon fiber looks good the "wet" carbon fiber looks better...
