I doubt they would contribute to that big of a reduction. A lot of the weight is in the giant calipers too. This is basically only taking weight out of the rotor rings. Some weight there for sure but probably less than one would think.

Actually yes. I totally forgot that the existing M2 models have fixed suspension. M2 CS will have adaptive suspension like M3/M4.
Let the car mags that repost the info they find on b-post say this if they feel it adds weight to their articles. Here, we don't need to pretend. Sorry but no. |

OMG Adaptive Suspension and a manual on an M2 chassis!
I didn't bother asking because I didn't think it was possible, as they previously claimed.. This is certainly going to improve the handling of this vehicle, as EDC adjusts the dampers, in real time, to the vehicle's current actions. The package is compete! Why no Adaptive M suspension in M2C? https://f87.bimmerpost.com/forums/sh....php?t=1497961 . |

MY2020 M4 Comp Pack pricing starts at $74K. If this car starts in the $70s, it'll absolutely kill the M4 sales. M2 CS will be lighter, have more power, and be more capable on the track. Honestly, even if the pricing starts in the $80s I would still choose this over an M4 any day. Really curious how BMW is gonna price it.

The CCB's are actually a big part of why I'm wanting to get a CS. I have a 2017 M2 with Dinan stage 4 and the brakes are a limiting factor on the street and track. I do run track pads but the whole braking system just gets worked over during track days. Power will be similar though but with more potential. If you've ever priced upgrading your brakes, $8k is about the norm in most cases so it's not actually unreasonable. This is all speculation so who knows what the finial pricing will be.

Better to get people buying the M2 CS then moving onto other brands |

CCB I guess would be an option...not standard

Considering the M3 cs is selling in the $80k range right now I don't think they would have much success asking that much for the M2 cs but who knows.

The Carbon roof and 445hp both entice me...plus there will be some suspension changes I want more power but concern about the drivetrain warranty If they price it too ambitiously, I will still be very happy with my Comp considering it has the same S55 engine and I can always mod it to CS level or beyond |

But I still don't get it why not a multi way adjustable coilover, for example, the m performance coilover (kw v3 equivalent) or even the GTS coilover (kw cs equivalent)? CS is a parts-bin car, so at least they should choose the right part from the bin. Performance aside, adaptive damper actually makes the car a less hardcore one. Is the M2 CS now officially the overpriced babe M4 ZCP? Also, since you already tell us so much about it, can you comment on the hood that we found is carbon fiber from spy shots and that's missing from your report? Thanks

On the flip side, there are a number of people on the M2 forums here that wouldn't consider an M4 because of size alone. You still might be right, though. |

The M2, in any guise, is the modern M3. Leave it to people who "get it"

Since they already announced the S58 and the new G series M4 mule was just seen being winter tested, I assume they're going to release it to coincide with the M2 CS, so it doesn't overlap in competition. |
