2020 BMW M2 CS

Not sure what all the whining is about? That blue looks pretty good to me. Maybe the gold wheels look a little out of place with blue and black accents. Black or gunmetal would have been better wheel colors IMO.

[Poochie]

The apex-predator of the M2s

[chris719]

Can they just not decide what color to paint the calipers? Maybe they had a ton of unsold M Performance red ones to get rid of .

[medphysdave]

These are the absolute flashiest photos of this color. This is as good as it gets. Cruise by your local dealership and check out the color.

Saw Misano on a Z4 today. Looks good. It will look good on the M2.

Looks great

[RocketBoots]

Hood looks amazing

Looks like they went with gloss carbon fiber on the door pulls...

[954MM]

Absolutely gorgeous.

[Tornado1M]

MB looking pretty decent on the M2cs 🤔

[medphysdave]

Jalopnik article says 500 to US. That's really limited.

It somehow looks better on the M2!

I want the hood and rear spoiler.

[VCP]

Very nice

[ThugzZ BunnY]

[ThugzZ BunnY]

Damn, that's truly disappointing.. #NoHope

[Anthony1s]

Hmm. So the hood, front lip, and rear spoiler aren't they standard M Performance carbon bits... they are new for the CS. Also interesting it says it has three radiators. Wonder where they put the third? Unless I'm misunderstanding and they are counting the oil cooler or air/water IC as a radiator.

Carbon trans tunnel was unexpected. Don't think we knew about the lack of center armrest console too.

Also does previous M2 have aluminum wheel hubs or what that updated for the CS too?

Not surprising at all.

Why? Were you planning to buy 501 of them?

[MR.]

Not feeling that color at all on this car. Bleh and definitely not combined with gold and red on the calipers. Why oh why such a clown specification. Let's wait and see when I see it live at LAAS. I hope it looks a bit better, but I am worried my mums X2 color on a M2.

Quite amazed about some of the marketing bla bla bla in the press release info...

New differential? Some are reporting this... Not in a 1000 years. Just the same maybe recalibrated. Where can I get the software?

Three radiators, an oil cooler, two pumps in the oil pan, oil sump baffle... Doesn't the M2C have most of this already?

Transmission oil cooler (when equipped with DCT)... Isn't that standard on a M2C with DCT?

The carbon tunnel in the interior is lovely... I need one of those hahaha that is so cool.

Steel subframe bolted to the body frame without bushings... Interesting, that I can add to my car as well if it has a big impact.

Forged aluminum rear five-link suspension control arms and wheel hubs.... Also interesting to see these. Easy replacement on our M2C's.

15.75-inch vented rotors with 6-piston fixed calipers up front & 14.96-inch vented rotors with 4-piston calipers in rear.... In what way I am I reading here the exact same specs as my M sport brake kit? I have a feeling these are just our (in US stock) M Sport brakes.

Did anyone notice the exhaust? Is that the same exhaust as currently with just different end pipes?

MR

what else is new, every hates what ever bmw releases. Looks great!
