Those thin headlights look very hommage.
Interesting secondary side note is that the M4 CS only pulled off a 7:42 ring time. BMW really wants to make sure the "lesser" models know their place. I would think an M2 CS would be very close to that time if not detuned. I think that bodes well for the Competition. It may not hang with the next GT4, but given the accommodation for practicality, it's likely to be wit the accomplishment. Especially when tuned Last edited by medphysdave; 10-13-2017 at 06:21 PM.. |

If that's the case, then the M4 CS is hardly any faster than the regular M4, if at all. The car was already having trouble putting down the claimed 425HP. I wonder if the M engineers did anything to help the CS put down that massive power and torque.

Track time is an important factor but not everything. The CS is a lot more enjoyable and engaging to drive. If they have a 6MT and cut down the pricing a bit I would have gotten one. Last edited by Karmic Man; 10-16-2017 at 08:58 PM.. |

If that's the case, the CSL will be a very special/collectable car. I just don't want to give up the back seat. I think there will be significantly better 2 seat options. (Unless you want track ready out of the box).
But then, why would anyone track abuse such a collectible car? We need a leak of the competition with all available options Hopefully a CS package. |

If I would buy a M2 CS or M2 CSL then I would use it on track a lot of times and more then my current M2. That is in my opinion the main reason why you would want to buy this M2 CS/CSL/GTS over the regular M2... A M2 that is more trackdesigned then a regular M2... The regular M2 is already nice on track (if you change the brake pads), but in essence it's a sublime and fun daily road car...not a track car. just my 2 cents

This one doesn't have the M Sports Seat option (option 712): base M2 seats already visible: Compare with base M2: Exterior (this car has Hockenheim Silver Metallic spec): For these results: VIN Decoder + (for example) VB08885 (source: here).
