Finally , he drives a real car .

M2 CS is so good it makes converts out of other brand diehards.

MB - M-DCT - 2NH - GLD 763M - Cup2 (replaced by PS4S).

Tiny details:

11:42: "763M" instead of "863M";
11:48: "M Sport brakes of the M2C" instead of "larger brakes";
12:02: "CS sports seats of the M3 CS and M4 CS" instead of "bucket seats of the M4 CS";
17:23: "Active Sound Design (ASD)" instead of "Active Sound Management (ASM)".

Harris put alot of money in his M2C, including the gold wheels, and then also bought a 911 GT3 Touring over the summer. He uses his M2C as a daily beater, i don't think he'll buy a CS.

If he does, expect the "CS is not worth it over an M2C" argument to fully die and it will cause FOMO on the remaining inventory.

Good review and great choice. If Chris Harris ends up with one of these it's game over.

AUSf22 · 01-24-2021, 11:44 PM

Damn I can never get over watching CS videos, they never get boring.

Is it just me or the M2 CS he has seems quite low to the ground?

Davil · 01-25-2021, 12:06 AM

I normally love his reviews so I was looking forward to this one.

This was all about car finance and then him screwing up his car's handling before he even drove it. Argh.

F87EVO · 01-25-2021, 02:49 AM

He installed lowering springs from Eibach.

The M2C he has, counts as a quasi project car imho.

He certainly has the financial means to buy ten M2CSs and then some.

I doubt the determinant for buying, or not buying, a M2CS for him would be the fact that he has a M2C, or that he's done a lot of work on it making it a better car than the stock M2CS.

He'd buy the M2CS for what it is, not what it isn't.

Yes. File under how to screw up your handling. Honestly, why do people do this? 2 years of development from M team and he puts on some springs that had no development time on the car and will never, ever work properly with the shocks nor suspension tuning.

Just buy an M2C, put quality coilovers on it (there are a number of good choices) and get a tune. Wrong car entirely.

AUSf22 · 01-25-2021, 04:54 AM

Damn he may be the only CS owner to use Eibach springs ...

I wonder what the reasoning is for the springs ...

"Stance bro". Perceived form over function.

(Yes I have had Eibach springs in the past, and H&R). Lessons learnt.

Jimjamz · 01-25-2021, 05:18 AM

Did I miss something. He said he's put on PS4S. I didn't think they were available for the CS 763M wheel specs? Did he mean PSS?

I do agree with his view on the steering wheel. I love it.

Alpine* · 01-25-2021, 05:30 AM

Jimmy, dude you were snoozing after too much wheel time in your new roller when listening to him (14:25). It came up when he was doing the delivery.
