If the Orangeman didn't exist, the news would not resemble something out of The Naked Gun movies but nothing else would change; the automotive import taxing structure in the US hasn't changed since the Regan era and the sales tax rate are determined by each individual state.

+1 that doesn't look like carbon fiber at all!

I like the look of the raw exhaust on a CS. It's the same as a GTS. Take a look at most "factory race" hi performance exhaust systems on motorcycles or cars. On motorcycles they don't even bother to grind or smooth the welds off. Its an appreciated purposeful factory race look. I think it adds to the track oriented focus of the CS . Different strokes for different folks I guess. |

Lambos are cool and all that but I would feel like an idiot driving one around town. And my neighbors would be laughing at the old man and his mid life crisis purchase. Who would cross shop a BMW sedan and a Lamborghini anyway :. You could not find two more different cars.

I'm sort of with you on that. Don't listen to mine much either. To into driving my car. But to say it sounds terrible is a stretch. Maybe I just don't know what a good sound system is supposed to sound like. : I would miss it if it wasn't there I know that.

You must be thinking of the CS Racing. Besides, all the M2's get their asses handed to them on the track, it's just not the car's strong suit. Track-focused. |

I'm glad they updated the leather in the CS. I can say that coming from a debatably higher end auto, the plastics in the M2 are tough to look at. It would be nice if they covered. That being said everything in my car not covered in leather is regular run of the mill auto carpet and plastic. It's just that it's all below the armrests and seats so you never see it. Most of the nasty plastic on the M2 is on the lower seat out of view. Out of site out of mind. It'll be among issue. I would really like if the nav system in my current car was not so dated, but truthfully it connects to my phone via Bluetooth. Idrive 6 will be vastly superior to jaguar systems prior to 2018. I never use the auto cruise control. A decent stereo is a must.

Hopefully someone will post a driving review soon. People who review the M3 CS often talk about how the car is more aggressive than the Competition and Base models.
Also reviews of the 992 911 Turbo S have just been posted as the interior of that car is pretty much the same as the lower end Carrera models. The M2 will not have an updated interior until the G87 M2 which is not until early 2023. The wait until the G87 CS may not be until 2026 or later. |

You're saying that BMW engineers are "idiots" because they clearly believed that stock M2 tire sizes were enough. Time to look in the mirror, pal. |

Why so many on here drive M cars and complain about them but then jizz all over P cars, Lamborghinis , the new C8, etc. is beyond me. They are totally different cars aimed at a totally different demographic. |

The M2, M2C, and M2CS aren't made for professionals, they're made for normal people, which largely get their asses handed to them on racetracks. The car just isn't what it needs to be in that arena. |

Once they realize nobody is buying them they will eventually blow them out.

That's what it appears to be. Probably some magical formula created by Zee BMW Germans. I'm sure it has to do with total sales volume of the 7 series haha
