BMW M2 CS Test Drive

F87EVO · 12-02-2020, 01:40 PM

Another great review !

Bimmed Out · 12-02-2020, 03:47 PM

With each new review (or at least many of them), it seems we learn of more modifications and features that are unique to the CS. I wish someone would tally all of the differences between the M2C and the M2 CS, as there's clearly a lot more to the CS than what was first announced. Thanks for sharing and thumbs up on your new userid.

I agree. It's going to be interesting to hear about all the changes. I'm sure the info will come to light at some point. Very diverse reviews. Some say much better on road and less so on track. This reviewer thought it better on track. It might also be dependent on skill of driver. I need that DD cush.

I summed them up and approximated the values of each, but nobody seemed to care.

I am really curious when it arrives in US and see what people say !

I agree with you. In addition to driving experience and skill set, which is of course quite variable across reviewers, I can't help but think some of these reviewers are in over their heads a bit with respect to their basic knowledge of sports cars and certainly with regard to ///M cars such as the CS. Recently, there was the thread on the reviewer (Steph ABtv) who may have actually gotten more wrong than he did right when describing the CS. Now there is this fellow who thinks the CS manual is really good, though not quite as good as Porsche or Mazda MX-5. And then, in the very next breath, he goes on to say that the manual in the CS is "probably the best modern manual I've ever driven".

On the other hand, I did appreciate some of novel information about the CS that this reviewer reported.

I appreciate that. And I think it was Supadice who started a similar thread a while back, which is also appreciated. But I believe there have been many additional adjustments, modifications, etc., unique to the CS that have been reported either in reviews or by knowledgeable BP members here that were not included. I wish there were a sticky thread by which we could keep a running tally as new information is revealed.

Glad to see he was able to keep it for a few days and try it with a baby seat in the back!

I really want to enjoy this car with my little one.
