So they went up a size front to back. Upping the brakes means 400-410HP of the S55 can be halted with ease and getting a BBK kit in the price of the CS is great for the track. One thing that somewhat mitigates the price increase a bit. Last edited by Benef1cient; 08-29-2017 at 04:34 PM.. |

Zero price-increase if you don't tick that box on the options list.

If any track use is likely, definitely do NOT want MCCB. |

Talking about brakes - Porsche will offer 3rd brake option with their new Cayenne model:

They do - especially with the pics from the standard M2 right above.

For the M2 CS I assume that BMW is gonna stick to the 19" shoe size, but may throw in an extra pair (same size, as for this type of model 19" suits better than 20").

Or at least follow the M4 CS path and do 20s in the rear and 19s up front...

I have heard that before - not sure how true it is. But on a more simple level, are these cars fun, dual purpose machines that can be DD and tracked? Yes. Is all out performance the goal of any current BMW? I don't know about that. M = compromise, with quite a bit of aesthetic form over function...just sayin.

I've seen the 763M wheels up-close on an M2, and liked how these look, except for the black finish (personal taste: I prefer a gunmetal finish). If BMW would offer those wheels in the 'Orbit Grey' finish of the M4 CS wheels, I might eventually consider to get them for my car. But I don't believe that that's gonna happen. About the M4 CS wheels was specified (see here): "A new, forged light-alloy wheel option in Orbit Grey has been specially developed for the new BMW M4 CS. Its ten-spoke design takes its cues from the wheels of the successful M4 cars competing in the German Touring Car Masters (DTM) race series. The BMW M GmbH engineers have rigorously applied their lightweight design approach to the wheels as well. The 10 J x 20-inch wheels at the rear weigh no more than around ten kilograms each and their 9 J x 19-inch counterparts at the front a mere nine kilograms or so. That keeps the unsprung masses low, which is another factor in the exceptionally dynamic handling of the M4 CS."Don't you think that those first words sound like proper CS speak: "A new, forged light-alloy wheel option" ?

M2 CS is not going to be strictly track focused. It serves as a dual purpose machine, DD and track, but heavily biased towards the DD side of things.... No matter what BMW wants you to believe. 20" or even 19/20" staggered will look great. (Not to say that the current 19s don't) All 718/981 Caymans come with 20" options regardless of it being a base Cayman, S, GTS, or GT4. The GT4 of course being the track focused one. The Cayman is smaller than then M2, but looks by far its best (IMO) with the 20s. Yes, some prefer the 19s on the Cayman/Boxster, but I find it hard to believe it would affect performance that adversely... Also, all Cayman obviously (except GT4) have less HP than the M2 CS will have. The 718 GT4 will be the first Cayman ever to push 400hp... Yet Porsche has always offered 20 inch wheels. Just a thought... 19s look great on the M2, but a 20" option would be nice. If Porsche can offer it on essentially a 300hp 981, BMW can at least do it for the much more powerful M2 CS.

To be honest...I want more width on the rim rather than more height
These S55 Ms (which all have traction issues especially in 1st and 2nd) need more tyres...way more tyres than what's standard on them. The simplest 911 GTS variant is the RWD 6MT version with the same engine power as the M3/M4 ZCP but comes in at a lighter weight at 1450kg DIN (and rear weight bias). It has a 305 at the rear and a 245 at the front. The M4 ZCP (1550kg+ DIN) has a 285 at the back and a 265 at the front... the M4CS with more performance also has the same staggered setup It is frustrating whenever you are at a stop start drag race you are always let down by a lack of traction with rear tyres smoking up instead of going forward. More tyres also provides more stability at a higher speed. Last edited by Karmic Man; 08-30-2017 at 10:44 PM.. |
