Sounds terrible on acceleration but I'm sure it performs well.

Best look of the rear gurney flap yet. Good thing they're not using that notched M Performance trunk lid, that thing looks silly.

I've said this for years. No way they would just let someone stand there and make a video.

I've been hoping for a new rear lip and at first thought that was the M Performance trunk but like you said that close up sure did look like a new rear spoiler.

M2 CS test mules feature an add-on CF trunk spoiler à la M3 CS and M4 CS (no integrated 'ducktail' à la M2 M Performance Parts CF tailgate), replacing the Gurney flap.

See this post of last February:

How do you know that for sure? When will it be available to order? What more do you know about the CS?

Motion of the stars. But maybe I'm a bad astronomer.

This M2 CS video has some similarities with the G80 M3 video posted earlier this month: a BMW prototype at the gas station nearby the Nürburgring race track (it's a well-known highly frequented gas station - car manufacturers know for sure that refueling a prototype over there inevitably attracts attention) + no peeking through the windows (no interior shots) + the BMW test driver not bothering about the filming:



Compare with the incident back in 2014 with a BMW test driver being very protective about the 7-Series prototype he was driving and likely at some point he was totally fed up with the behavior of a nosy photographer following the testing activities in France: https://www.autoevolution.com/news/b...deo-85353.html

I mean, it is the closest gas station to the entrance of the Ring...

This thing sounds awful. What is it about this engine setup that makes it sound so bad? Would changing from quad exhaust pipes to a dual setup improve acoustics or is it a lost cause? My B58 powered car with dual exhaust sounds so much better. In a world where electric propulsion is becoming more and more viable, one of the primary reasons to still bother with ICE technology at this point is to enjoy the sound and emotional experience that comes along with it. If it sounds like crap, why waste the money?

That CS rear decklid spoiler fits the 2 chassis perfectly!

Most people would be surprised how much of this stuff comes from the manufacturer or the companies they hire to build hype. A close friend of mine worked on some early marketing for the FRS / BRZ including hiding in bushes to take “spy shots” that would be released several months later.
