Boy, they're really trying to milk the shit out of the M2 model I see. What's next? M2 CSL-GTR? How about a special edition? A limited run of 200 cars world wide with the E46 M3 CSL chassis with an M2 shell on it. They can call it the ME246 CSL.

But it will be exciting to watch. Can you imagine the Bimmerpost meltdown if you're right?

... and then some M2C owner will get a chance to drive M2C and M2CS back to back and conclude M2C has much better low end kick and M2CS has lost its soul (oh wait... M2C didn't have any soul to begin with compared to OG M2, nevermind).

Isn't the G80 launching early 2020? If so, that's prior to this CS/CSL.

Then all will be silenced by the guy that drives all three variants and comes up with the conclusion that the best M2 is actually the 1M...

They've already made all the CF/M performance parts...I wouldn't imagine there would be a ton of testing to complete...

I am actually hoping this is a CS and not a CSL - that would keep the price more reasonable, and they might make a few more too.
This will be the last DCT-equipped car from BMW too (I think, right?) - so very interested in how this shapes up. I want nothing to do with the ZF slush headed our collective ways in the future...

The CSL has a mid-2020 launch as MY 2021, per inside sources. This same source mentioned a US only M2 Racing that may debut in early 2020.

"Luxus" (Luxury) versus "Leichtbau" (Lightweight construction/design).

I agree. I guess I'm just cynical about BMW actually offering a balls to the walls CSL. If I were a betting man, I'd say this car will have a CF roof, M3CS style hood, optional parts-bin carbon ceramic brakes, slightly aggressive front lip, and slightly tuned engine. Then they'll take out the armrests on the interior like in the M3CS to feel hardcore, sacrificing comfort to save 2 pounds (OK, maybe that's too cynical lol). Then the reviews will say it's a great car, but that you'll be spending an extra 25k to shave 0.3 seconds off your lap time and have less comfort for daily driving and BMW will sell every one they make.
