The two cars are pretty much identical in build, with the CS getting carbon roof, bonnet (hood), centre console and lighter 763m wheels. But the CS also gets carbon spoiler and splitter which are not without any mass and I'm told the holed seat design is heavier than the C seats, marginally. I'd expect the CS to be around 20-25kg lighter, like for like. But importantly lower CG and rotational mass. |

Dealer that sold me my m2c called and asked if I wanted the M2CS spot at MSRP, I laughed at him. No way in hell I'm paying 85-90K for a M2 of any sort.

Again, they may well have the right numbers but (and i know this is going to sound weird) I used to look up car specs professionally and those two sites were specifically on the "do not cite from here" list. Generally speaking its tough to get car weights as even manufacturers themselves can put BS numbers out there (*Cough Lamborghini and Ferrari cough*) Nothing beats a car that's actually been measured on a scale. It's less common now, but reputable car magazines used to always weigh their vehicles, so if you can find an old issue of Car and Driver or something that'll have a reliable weight listed. |

Even in 2019, BMW itself officially confirmed again the weight difference between E46 M3 CSL and E46 M3 to be 110 kg (see here). To my knowledge that figure has always been quoted since launch of the E46 M3 CSL. No way that BMW has repeated the E46 M3 CSL kind of invasive surgery and more dedicated R&D with the M2 CS. Quote:

"Q: Would it not have been possible to reduce the weight of the BMW 1 Series M Coupé to closer to 1,400 kilos instead of the 1,570 kilos achieved? After all, a number of body parts had to be redeveloped anyway. What would have been the additional cost for the customer if the 1,400 kg target had been reached ?

Most of these arguments are straw man or sour grapes. Buy it if you want it, don't buy it if you don't. That's where it starts and ends for me. |

On a more interesting note, you had a job where you look up car specs? I want that job

I was offered a CS allocation when they came out last year. At the time I owed an OG LCI. I was prepared to pay MSRP for the CS, but I wanted to have it painted in SO (a colour already offered on the M2C). BMW flat out said "Nein. No changes on the CS".
I now own a 2020 GT4...and it's awesome. |

Radio and AC delete would most likely be configurable, just like they have been on the CSL and Porsches for years. You - the owner - get to decide if you want the AC/radio delete. I can promise you there would be no shortage of people who would gladly delete the radio, and some even the AC, depending on their geographical location. |

At that price point the M2CS doesn't make sense.
I will probably buy a Porsha haha!
