Nice one

End of production to release a top end version...

What's next M2 gts

M2 comp is a great car, why not release all at the same time like m4 comp cs and gts

That's way people have some time before it become old

Very poised around "the ring".
Would have loved a ride a long with that driver. Beautiful rotation on some of those corners. Was the Black coupe we see in lead off in a few shots, another M2? My car spotting skills are pretty weak.

Yes it’s a press day and not only to the public that week.

There is a BMW Press Conference scheduled Nov. 20, 9am. Maybe it will get shown then? I’m going to be there on the 21st since I can see it will less officials around then.

They won't paint it to save $$$. In fact it's my belief the M2C's muffler hangs low, because they straight up lifted it from the M3/4 chassis to save on development costs. There's a huge empty space where the OG M2 muffler use to be housed. Check out this thread... Excellent look at the M2c exhaust system viewed from the undercarriage

Yeah, let me know which day everyone is going...have a press badge but not going to waste more than one night at the LA show (specifically whichever one has free alcohol)

Agree with you 10" a million percent. M2 CS has the potential to be a classic that may hold its value well. After this the cars will get even bigger, weigh more, no DCT, and a questionable grille. Although next M2 should still be RWD.
Plus the fact that the CS is limited edition makes it more valuable as it won't be around for long. A 911 Carrera S may be impressive but that costs more and will be available for the next 7 years sitting on the lots of any Porsche dealer.
I have seen the M2 CS up-close ('Fotofahrzeug' / 'Photo Vehicle' in the VIN specs) without all camouflage on static display (exterior, interior, engine bay & boot). Though I have not seen/heard it yet in motion IRL, videos of M2 CS prototypes lapping the Nürburgring and Hockenheimring in a poised 'ants in the pants' fashion, showcase the promise of something very interesting. Defining moment: right now it's on the brink of officially popping up on the Petrolhead Territories radar. The radar alarm blip has a message for competing brands: *woop-woop* "Cave canem !"

I posted the following in another thread:

Very recently BMW M boss Markus Flasch coined it as "probably the most crisp and pure BMW M model we have launched in quite some time" and "it's phenomenal and drives like a race car with license plates" (see here).

The future will tell whether this new kid on the ///M block lives up to its high expectations. Based on what I know so far, I trust that the M2 CS is bound to become a very desirable BMW M car, a quintessential automotive gem setting a new beemer bliss benchmark: a properly sized, fast & powerful rear-wheel drive 4-seater with great driving dynamics, fine-tuned reliable 3.0 6-cyl powerhouse, cool design & presence, decent boot space, creature comforts and available with manual gear stick & M-DCT. You can comfortably drive your partner + two kids to the circuit, lap the circuit and all return home again with a smile, including a stop to pick up groceries. Quite practical and versatile/multipurpose.

Moreover, the M2 CS will also be one of the last models before BMW and BMW M fully implement the new 'design language' of big front end grilles. Very likely the last generation at the gates of the future era of 'grillefication', electrification, more front-wheel drive & all-wheel drive, more automatic/ZF transmission, less 6-cylinder & exhaust drama and further tightened regulations. And, hence, IMHO the M2 CS stands a good chance to be reputed as 'vintage'/'classic' in the future (so-called 'future classic'), a pinnacle car tech toy with still an 'analog' twist (instead of going fully digital) facilitating emotional connection.

But it risks to be a challenge to get hold of an allocation (build slot) (2200 cars worldwide, all built in 2020), features a peculiar Bavarian blue launch color and an immodest price-tag for a BMW 2er.

Unlike the E46 M3 CSL (SMGII), E92 M3 GTS, E90 M3 CRT, E92 DTM Champion Edition (Spengler), F82 M4 GTS, F82 DTM Champion Edition (Wittmann), F82 M4 CS, F80 M3 CS and F82 Heritage Edition, manual transmission will be available as standard feature on the M2 CS. BMW M boss Flash confirmed last Summer - in a general way about BMW M cars - that currently no plans exist to discontinue the manual gearbox (see for example here). However, almost certainly we won't see the M-DCT on the next generation M2 (G87). The M-DCT is on its way out.

YES - based on 20k miles in a 17 M2 I'm sure that this will be a home run car. I'll take one 6MT in each color and one DCT in each color.

Thanks!!!

There will be a lot of disappointed skeptics that wish they weren't.

I made the same reflection. Real wheels look larger than at the front. Did not get the same impression in previous spy footage. Should adress the "lively" rear end of the M2. Wasn´t able to see if it was also wider than previous test mules.

In the Nov 2nd update, I think they might be trying to do the lap times/record of CS.
In a lot of shots,, the driver was really going for it, pushing beyond limits constantly.

That's a 265/35/19 Cup 2 out back... Not a 20" wheel ‼️
