F87EVO · 05-01-2021, 06:06 AM

Another never sell video

Its a forever car

Joey_Dual_Clutch · 05-01-2021, 06:13 AM

That was great. Pure car guy, love it.

MadBimmeRad · 05-01-2021, 09:10 AM

Too right

E46M3forRay · 05-01-2021, 10:47 AM

He’s not wrong. Passion of M cars.

to_riffic · 05-01-2021, 01:00 PM

To own any car in Singapore is insane. I miss that region of the world. Richard Mille watch....curious to see what else he has in the garage now!

kyrocks · 05-02-2021, 11:55 AM

Great video!
I totally am with him that the car makes you feel young again. The nostalgia of my past BMW cars and its driving characteristics made me buy the car.

Note: M Performance Parts CFRP fenders were added to his M2 CS.

Too bad that BMW did not fit those as standard feature on the M2 CS. I rooted for it in the past (see here).

To my knowledge, forum member cptJLPicard (Canada) was the first to fit those. He has exactly the same setup (MB - 6MT - 2NH - GLD 763M - Cup2 - MPP CFRP fenders - MPP CFRP side winglets), except for the steering wheel position: left hand drive versus right hand drive.

But the M2 CS does not feature any of the M Performance accessories. All CF parts are unique to the vehicle except the wheels which I know they are offered as M Performance accessories, but are known as CS wheels without the engraved "M Performance". Why to add those ? Seem a bit too much in my opinion. And I'm glad they didn't put the side winglets as well. Now if they offered carbon side fenders like the ones on a GT3RS, that would be nice and may help the cars downforce/cooling.

Me neither. Personally I never liked the M Performance Parts winglets (front winglets & side winglets).

AFAIK the M Performance Parts logo is embossed on the M2 CS diffuser (go check). And AFAIK the CFRP side mirror caps are M Performance Parts too. 763M wheels: M Performance Parts without the logo embossed and offering gloss black finish (as initially seen on the M2 by Futura 2000 Edition) instead of matte black.

Agreed ! Yeah this is what im talking about ! Those would look and may function good too! That will may be in the next CSL cars - why not ? E46 CSL didnt have a hood with vents , but the F series CS cars had

: ! My only addition would be the CS Racing rear wing . Its absolutely amazing , not too "too much" , just right !

I like the winglets though clearly not all are of that opinion. They match the flow line of the front splitter and continue the design theme of the front through to the side of the car before closing it out with the rear splitter.

For me the final piece of the puzzle will be the mp steel pedals. Once done I'll be done with the car. A few minor mods and nothing compared to what I did with the F80 (MP exhaust, coilovers, FI-Rs, side splitters, front splitter, rear splitter, DCT gear lever, MP alcantara steering wheel, pedals, LED rear retrofit, front kidneys).

Btw - the way this guy moves his hands down and around the M2 CS alcantara steering wheel when he gets in the car - very relatable - I do that all the time.

My family and I spent a few days over there in 2019 for business/pleasure. Our local friends were telling us how much it cost to own and register a car over there. It was shocking. Ironically, we stayed in the financial district and we saw lots of Crazy Rich Asian cars driving around.

buckybadger · 05-03-2021, 11:19 AM

He's probably a millionaire, cars sell for 5X more than US in Singapore.

The M2 Comp goes for $250k USD in Singapore and the price for the CS has not been disclosed (sold out before open market availability).

From memory, I think they have the odds and evens plate system like Manila too? You can only drive on certain days depending on your number plate.

Jimjamz · 05-04-2021, 04:16 PM

You got car enthusiasts buying this for future museum collections - I hope some are driving this regularly.

No use garage queening it only to find you can't buy fuel for it in 10-15 years. That would be like buying the world's best VHS player and looking forward to decades of blockbuster rentals.

First line. BMW is the ultimate driving machine...it's not a joke! Truth
