Does the M2 CSR have a brake booster? I believe you may have already commented on this, but I don't remember. I just came back from the M4 GT4 experience and have to say the unboosted brake pedal was actually awesome. There was soooo much more control of braking, especially braking release. My gluts definitely feel like they got worked, but while in the car it was not as difficult as I though it would be.

I now want a race car.

I may come out and visit—not driving unfortunately, but have some friends who may be.

Does anyone want to pull the CAFD files from their CSR and share? (not that there are many people who can effectively do this)

Tried many times, this is not possible as the car is not part of the normal psdzdata at all. Not only is the data unknown to esys, it also cannot be changed without the definition files. They're all different IDs, for flash and for coding, meaning the coding files affect the modules differently due to different firmware.

I have a few of these that I support with diagnostics/tuning/etc. and the coding is not possible.
I have multiple esys saves from them, and it's not terribly useful.

The Brakes on the M4 GT4 are how a race car should be. Smash them and ease up while trailbraking.

The M2 CSR isn't anything like this, they are similar to your street car brakes.

I left foot broke the M4 GT4 all the way around Indy. Cant left foot brake the CSR worth shit.

Can you do anything to make it better (if not as good as the M4 GT4) Mike?

Yeah, buy a M4 GT4

Seriously though, I wouldn't want to start messing with a BMW Factory Masterpiece.

I know people who have spent $10,000 on suspension changes and re-install the stock suspension a few weeks later.

Our philosophy is learn the car.

The second car has arrived at BMW Manhattan! Great team over there!

ptgltw... what's this I see on social of you getting out of the CSR? No more track days?

New toy?

[Challenge64]

Hi Guys,

Hate to just jump right into a new forum and ask questions but I am looking to buy a BMW M2 CS Racecar and I am having absolutely no luck.

Little bit about myself. I live in Arizona, belong to Apex Motor Club, been racing for 30 + years, run two Ferrari 488 Challenge Evos in the Ferrari Challenge (Will be at COTA in 2 weeks) and have a BMW M2 Competition. The M2 street car is ideal for the small track at Apex here in AZ and the M2 CS Race Car even better I would image..

So, does any one have any leads? I've talked to BMW Motorsport and they are of course sold out.

[medphysdave]

I would DM ptgltw

My understanding is that the M2CSR is completely sold out. I was told by Motorsport that they're currently focused on development of the G82 M4 GT4 and the LMDh program, with no announced plans for a successor to the M2CSR yet...at least that's what I was told - who knows if that's confidential info they can't share yet

Your best bet is purchasing a "used" car. Sounds like ptgltw is selling his. I've also seen a few posts on social media from various teams hinting at selling their M2CSRs - but not sure what they're asking/if they're actually for sale. If you're interested in renting and racing in SRO - we took delivery of a brand new car in December. However, we're only interested in renting it out for SRO test and race weekends in conjunction with my TCX program - so a little niche.

A new M2 CSR is out as BMW told me the same thing. Yes any help for finding one for sale used would be greatly appreciated. Not interested in running SRO or renting - as I've got my hands full with the Ferrari Challenge calendar.

Thanks, yeah a couple things are coming into play here.

I'm a golfer, turned 50 and want to get back into tournament golf.

My kids are big time into golf at moment and they are 16 and 14. I want to spend time with them now.

I bought a 2018 GT3 touring

I'm downsizing most of my collection in order to simplify.

Keeping

LTW
E30 M2
M2 CS is now my daily driver and golf trip car (probably 8k miles per year)
GT3 Touring

The other 10 are for sale.

[ptgltw]

They made 300 m2 CSR total for the world. Only 130 for the USA.

Mine sold in a couple days. They are wonderful machines. We are going to miss ours but the 2801.6 Kilometers of fun I put on it last year, the memories will remain for a lifetime.

They are only going up in value and will soon be worth $200k before the new Entry Model comes out, whatever and whenever that might be.

I know of a few more for sale. Unfortunately they aren't cheap. I'll send you a DM tomorrow when I get more info.

[medphysdave]

Glad to see others using their M2CS as a DD. Why the GT3 touring?

The seating position of the M2 CS as a daily is amazing and of course we all know about the effortless speed and endless comfort.

Wolfs in sheeps clothing. I'm all about that philosophy.

It's similar to the M2 CS in terms of under the radar quiet and un assuming. If a 911 can be unassuming.

Nothing against wings but for on the street definately overkill and not as "friendly" to onlookers lets just say.

The touring looks like a regular 911 with a twist. Manual gearbox only. Better engine than the 911R. Revs to 9000.

One of the best true Sports cars ever made for the street with quiet looks. Wolf in sheeps clothing.

The M2 CS is the best all arounder ever made for the street. Just ask EVO Magazine

Well, it sounds like a great time all around. The GT3 is a fun add, and getting into stuff with the kids is always a great investment in time. I know a few guys very well with large collections and they periodically prune anything not getting "regular exercise" or when they shift focus for a while. It's a wonderful ability to have, so I'm glad you are getting to enjoy it and get back into time in another hobby/love of yours!
