I'm really surprised they didn't create a carbon fiber rear seat with some thin cushions for the CS. I wonder if there are safety issues. That would have trimmed a lot of weight, and would match the carbon console

Further, at 3:30 in the video, when asked who should get an M2cs, Flasch says those "lucky enough to get one, as for anyone else, go for the M2Competition or wait for the upcoming "Sondermodelle", maybe of the M3 or M4 next generation". Kinda hinting there wont be another "Sondermodelle" of the F87 M2. An M2CSL won't be until the next gen IMO. And just as a tidbit, aren't the PSC2 already standard on the M2cs?

I prefer amber, it just looks right.. If I had gotten a CS, I would swap the taillight for the ECE, amber version. |

I've always wondered the same myself: why not just keep the amber rear turn signals for North America since they are legal and demonstrated to be safer. I also find they look better .

So when will we finally read some reviews about this magical beast??
It’s due to be released for sale very soon, and still no reviews.

Such shitty design for safety ... presumably to allow low-end manufacturers to get away with one fewer light bulb? And let's not even get started about the adaptive LEDs I paid for and arrived in the US essentially disabled. |

No one mentioned the portrait video - I guess I'm the only one using BPost on my computer...

The light itself is originally red but they add a green optical filter to produce the color amber, meeting ECE/ROW requirements. [COLOR="DarkRed"]Red[/COLOR]+[COLOR="Green"]Green[/COLOR]= [COLOR="DarkOrange"]Yellow[/COLOR] |

In some vehicles, if the manufacture opts to keep the turn signals the color amber, as allowed, it would then not be able to be shared with the (red) brake lights, to meet the size requirement. In those case, piggybacking one light function on the other, works perfectly for that given situation, as compromised as it might appear to a laymen. I already wrote a nerdy explanation here related to the G20: https://www.bimmerpost.com/forums/sh...php?p=24680672 What I don't get is even if a turn signal and brake light still meets the minimum photometric requirement, as it does in the M2 CS, they still choose to keep it red, for US-spec vehicles. : |

Funny how they still posted up the online configuration, yet the factory that produces it is still closed. #Hubris |
