Their performance times are the fastest reported. I wonder how they accomplished them.

Reading all the negative comments below the article about the price, value, really can’t be that good etc. is like déjà vu……of course all by folks who haven’t laid eyes on one never mind even drive one. Someone asked how many have been sold….10 of them?
As has been said before…if you don’t know, you don’t know. |

As an m2c owner I’m more intrigued now to get behind the wheel of a CS. Car and Driver panned the m2c for numb steering and I’d rank it as my number one dynamic complaint about the car. I guess it’s the additional negative camber, cup 2’s, lighter weight and roof stiffness making a difference.

Most of the cars I owned had some special variant - whether it was the Integera Type R to my Integra GSR or an S2000 CR to a S2000 or M3 CS to an M3 comp I never tried to convince myself that the top tier wasn’t worth the money or it wasn’t good enough, I used it for motivation to further elevate my financial lposition. At the end of the day you can tell through actions as opposed to words. If the m2 CS wasn’t great people wouldn’t be trying to mimic it by buying replica parts. I still remember buying type r wings, cams, and even transmission for my GSR. If I could I’d have just owned the type r but while it wasn’t achievable I still respected the car for what it was The only thing the m2 CS doesn’t have going for it is that it’s a “2 series” and your non enthusiast will think you’re driving just that. However, in 15-20 years when these type of cars are relics I reckon it won’t matter and these will be highly sought after for their relative analog experience. If I wanted bells and whistles I’d get an M3 comp. Last edited by gemini.m3; 07-03-2021 at 05:22 PM.. |

I was on 3 different wait lists for several years and never got a call, and I've purchased 5 rolexes over the last 20 years. I had to go gray market on this one and buy it slightly used from a known local guy that buys and sells. Luckily I got it before prices went up 30-40% almost overnight a few years ago. Good luck. |

I'm an engineer that happens to design DACs and ADCs for far more demanding purposes than audio, and I have deep experience with the "high end" audio electronics industry. I have also designed audio DACs and ADCs. I'm not going to give you a specific price, but know that diminishing returns is very real with these parts. It's not as big of a scam as cables, but privately the designers who aren't nuts will admit things you probably don't want to know. On the CS, I think people complain not because the entire package isn't worth the price, but because it's easy to see that the price has had a large jump but you don't see commensurate changes to the bill of materials cost. Clearly the CS models are higher margin for BMW and that's fine, the top model always is, for everything. |
