Wish I spoke German. Looks like a win for AWD and the Mercedes.
When it comes to the M2CS, I'm mostly jealous of that red stitching and the seats. Blue stitching = "I wear my sunglasses in the club" Orange stitching = "I talk too loud in the library" Red stitching = "I've worked at this library for 30 damn years, i'll talk as loud as I please" |

I also think typo because it was comfortably ahead at 200 and all of a sudden fell off a cliff. Something's not right there. My read is that the Merc won because of price and everyday practicality.

Obviously we cant read this as its in German...
But... fundamentally the only place the amg should beat the bmw is in practicality and maybe drag racing.

As for the Merc, it did really well in Evo magazine's COTY contest earlier this year. I am not surprised they liked it here.

Looks like it will just dip into the 11s for the quarter as the Germans go slightly over. |

The M2CS and AMG were also on R compound rubber vs the standard summer rubber on the GTS (in addition to manual vs the PDK which is available for 2021). Even out the rubber and or transmission and my bet would be the GTS is the fastest on track by 1-2 seconds. The CS really falls flat at high speeds though if those are correct, which my guess is just bad aero at those speeds. Id also guess this would plague the AMG as well...
