This is exciting. A shame we cant get the US version live. I get so excited and then realize there aren't any options to play with. It does list the car as 1625kg unloaded.

UK configurable has been up for weeks. It was just hidden as another engine option.

There have been a topic these days with this BMW today video , regarding the BMW M2 CS , since Markus Flasch didnt ignore the question of the M2 CSL , and he instead told that they haven't decided yet . Who knows , maybe the engine of the M4 GTS engine and some more lightweight parts. It really might be happening since he could ignore the question on the M2 CSL by just saying that the M2 CS will be the top dog in this platform. Also , maybe the testings that were made in the ring before might be the CSL and the CS . who knows !

A CSL is definitely not happening, one, after the bleak current economic climate and the fact that a 85k CS already had the masses bitching about the price tag.

This is highest tier of the F-Series M2 that's going to be offered, I bet you that on my last 3 rolls of toilet paper.

Poochie is right again. I said it earlier myself that there was tons of complaining about a $83.6k M2 CS as I can't imagine the complaining about a $100k plus F87 2 series. Not to mention the interior being outdated on a $100k car. There simply is not much of a market for a $100k 2 series, better off to just do a 911.

And he won't be wrong, it's kind of is for an M2 with the M4 motor, to be offered for under 60k.

However, if I had deep pockets, I would want the crème de la crème that BMW offers, for their smallest, manual coupe.

Every decision is relative to money, it's nothing bias or personal..

I doubt that BMW will make the M2 CS roof available as aftermarket part.

BMW will kindly recommend the M2 M Performance Parts CF roof (BMW part # 41 31 2460277 - "Car roof in carbon fiber | Lightweight carbon roof in carbon fiber. Package includes car roof in carbon fiber. In addition new windscreen and rear window are required and needs to be ordered separately. Roof is redesigned. Approx -5kg").

I don't like the shape it as much.

I really like the one MR. installed on his M2C.

It's very much the same roof style that skin Imran is running on STARLA.

A few pics in various colours appearing now. My order is HS with black wheels and red brakes. I have to say that the blue with black wheels and red brakes looks amazing. Way better than I thought.

Not at all keen on the gold wheels with HS. It really looks like grandma is off to a Liberace concert. The black on black looks too black for me.

Gold callipers on HS doesn't look bad at all. There's even a bit of gold in the paint in that photo. Nice.

First M2 CS mod is to get rid of those plastic wheel arch extensions.

I believe that they are Euro only. I have confirmation they won't be on the Australian model anyway.

Well, I am European so OPF and wheel arch bits stay ON during sexy times.

The blue show car in that post above doesn't have those bits so could be easy to remove if they're not a part of the wheel arches. If they are, easy to buy standard F87 parts anyway.

Interesting that Australian-spec cars come 10mm higher from the factory though.

Those wheel arch extensions were absent for the introduction in September 2019 at the Brussels Brand Store.

The BMW M2 CS on display at the 2020 Brussels Auto Show (see the dedicated thread here) is the same car of the September 2019 M2 CS preview at the Brussels Brand Store. It was built on March 22, 2019 (earliest pre-production M2 CS "Photofahrzeug" - BMW code 903) (specs: see here).

It still featured single zone airco (alike on the M3 CS and M4 CS) (while the M2 CS production version gets the 'regular' dual zone airco) and not yet the fender wheel arch extensions (explanation according to some: extensions are added as certain countries do not allow the wheel to protrude past the bodywork, so this is a shortcut/bypass manufacturers use).

RealOEM: see part #15 ("Protective film, wheel arch") of this F90 M5 diagram (source: here):

No they aren't higher. If anything mine seems to sit lower than a lot of others. Perfect ride height

I reckon it's them changing wheels for showroom shots. The car will always need a little time to settle after being jacked up. Even I need time to settle after being jacked up. 🤪
