The true hero to review this car is James May

Joe's not on tv he's on the web. You don't get in depth 30 minute videos on a car on tv. I appreciate the depth and passion of his analysis over the over-produced bubblegum tv stuff.

...the problem with platforms like youtube is that it gives anyone a platform... for probably 95% of these people, it's obvious they dont belong in front of a camera. Not everyone can be a Chris Harris... also not everyone needs to be a Schmee or annoying blogger. |

Any OEM suspension (M4 GTS excluded) will limit you on track at some point. Not saying it cannot be fun (I tracked OEM for many years, 4 years just on the F80 chassis) but you’ll be capped performance wise.

Getting a BMW fan boy to review a BMW car is a complete waste of time.
A review needs to be objective. Joe never has a bad word to say about a bmw and shmee will say whatever he has to say for a freebie. The only objective reviewer I can recall is Chris Harris Drive. They are entertaining informative and honest. |

The CS is not as special I hoped it would be. Don't get me wrong, it looks great, but so does the OG M2 minus the hood. Marginal increase in performance and adaptive suspension, which is a nice add. In addition, this blue mutes the contours of the vehicle. Not being a Debbie Downer, but for the price, move to a P car.

For sure or at least it does to an extent. I love the idea of a low depreciation special edition. But $25K? Too much! I could be talked into $15K or something that is a lower proportion of the overall cost of the vehicle.

This allows owners of all cars to enjoy them even after they've been 'replaced' Eg. E92 M3's steering feel and engine sound often regarded as better than the F80 But the F80 M3 is now regarded as better looking than the G80 M3 The E46 M3 was regarded as having the best straight 6 sound vs the then sacrilegious 8 cylinder E92 M3 For the F87 - OG M2 has better engine sound than the M2C and M2C is considered better value proposition than the M2CS |
