I guess the manufacturers use the lessons learned over the model life cycle to apply to the halo, special-edition car at the end of the cycle, but it is frustrating when that particular model platform is soon rendered obsolete.

I like his reviews a lot. He does research, knows his stuff and is authentic and transparent. He doesn't try to market to his audience and I look forward to his videos. I'm checking regularly to see when his follow up CS review comes out.

I’ve had that conversation on the F80 forum. You need much deeper pockets for those (to buy, to track and maintain) and you lose the 4 seater convenience factor. But the overall expense is in a different category.

Well, as the reviews come in, they appear to be largely consistent. For most who want a fun DD (and especially if you don't care about cosmetic bits or want a semi-sleeper), the M2C fits the bill. For those who want to ultimate M2, who don't care that it looks more extroverted, and perhaps those who plan to do significant track work, the M2CS might be worth it.
And as had been said many times before, if someone with an M2C really wanted to replicate the M2CS, it would cost more money, and (depending on the engine tune chosen) may not have a warranty. Although I'm not in the market for this car, I am very happy M is building it, especially with a MT option.

On the other hand, at least with BMW, the updated model is almost always heavier and more removed/insulated from the driving experience. And time helps bring into focus the true greats—the E46 M3 CSL owner probably isn’t upset that he or she doesn’t have a base E92 M3...

Here's to hoping enough people either:
a.) Realize a $20-25k cosmetic upgrade isn't worth it and/or b.) Don't want to buy a platform that's "soon rendered obsolete". That means a bunch of dealer ordered cars will sit on the lots for months with a high price tag forcing huge discounts like the M3/4CS, right? If so, the M2CS would be quite a nice and affordable lease to cover the gap like the M3CS was. Sadly, I highly doubt it will be the case with this car, so no M2CS for me.

A pity there is only four basic colours available for this CS still... It would be so nice in San Marino blue 🤩 If money was falling from the sky, I would take a CS and make it paint by BMW in this colour... |

The production for the M2 CS for the rest of the world outside of Europe is until June 2021!
