The new BMW M2 CS.
The new BMW M2 CS is based on the second generation of the BMW M2 and
significantly improves what is already an extraordinary level of
performance. With impressive 390 kW/530 hp in the BMW M2 CS, it
matches the performance of the BMW M4 Competition Coupé sending its
power to the rear wheels via the eight-speed M Steptronic transmission
with Drivelogic, which comes as standard.
The new BMW M2 CS set a new benchmark on the legendary Nordschleife
racetrack of the Nürburgring on 11 April 2025. Driven by Jörg
Weidinger, it completed the 20.823-kilometre Nürburgring-Nordschleife
circuit in 7:25.5 minutes, beating the previous best time for compact
cars by a full eight seconds. This record-setting BMW M2 CS not only
raises the bar in the compact car class, but also further solidifies
BMW M’s reputation as a manufacturer of high-performance vehicles that
excel both on the road and on the racetrack.
The punchy exterior of the new BMW M2 CS is shaped
by many components made of carbon-fibre-reinforced plastic (CFRP) and
other exclusive details. The standard M Carbon roof, boot lid,
mirror caps and the CS-specific rear
diffusor are all made from eye-catching exposed carbon fibre.
The M2 CS kidney grille is made with extended air
inlets and a unique geometric design. The CS-specific integrated
“Ducktail” spoiler is aerodynamically designed for
optimal weight distribution and stability and is an absolute
head-turner. The “M2 CS” logo on the rear has a red outline. The
Adaptive LED Headlights with BMW Selective Beam
non-dazzling High Beam Assistant and M lights Shadowline with dark
inlays are also standard. Standard equipment also includes
CS-exclusive forged M light-alloy wheels with a
double-spoke design and matt Gold Bronze finish. They measure 19
inches at the front and 20 inches at the rear axle and are fitted as
standard with track tyres. An ultra-track tyre and a standard sport
tyre (a no-cost option) in the same dimensions are available as an
optional upgrade. The M Compound braking system with
red brake callipers, which comes as standard, provides powerful
stopping performance while the M Carbon ceramic brake system with red
brake callipers is available as an option for extensive track usage.
The M-specific exhaust system with electrically controlled flaps and
the four exhaust pipes typical of M, which come in matt black enhance
the look on the rear of the BMW M2 CS.
The chassis technology and braking system in the BMW M2 CS are
precisely tailored to the improved performance characteristics of the
engine and the specific weight balance of the special edition. The
chassis has been lowered by eight millimetres and
adapted specially for the car with bespoke tuning for its springs,
dampers and chassis control systems. These modifications improve
driving dynamics significantly in all scenarios – including under
extremely hard driving. Indeed, the settings for the Dynamic Stability
Control (DSC) and M Dynamic Mode have been optimised precisely to meet
the demands of driving on the race track.
The interior of the new BMW M2 CS combines an
exclusive look with the sporty feel of exquisite Alcantara and
innovative lightweight design. Lightweight M Carbon Bucket
Seats cacoon driver and passengers, while Merino leather and
illuminated CS-specific lettering create a sophisticated look. With a
soft cover and contoured thumb rests, the M Alcantara steering
wheel has carbon details and M-contrasting stitching for a
motorsport feel. A carbon centre console reduces
weight and stuns the senses. A high-gloss sheen and red CS lettering
are standout features. Additional specific details include the M
seatbelts and the entry door sill plates, which are black with an “M2
CS” logo and red outline for the first time. Now illuminated with the
“CS” logo, the door trim panels certainly grab the attention. The
colour used here can be set individually, likewise the standard
ambient lighting. Harman Kardon surround sound system
provides an intense musical feast for the ears.
For the BMW M2 CS, BMW M GmbH has opted for an upgraded version of
the 3.0-litre, six-cylinder in-line engine which also
serves as basis for the power unit used in BMW M4 GT3 EVO racing car.
This intensifies the performance experience in the special edition,
particularly in highly dynamic driving situations. It further sharpens
the engine’s unmistakable power characteristics and perfectly
accentuates the linear power delivery – sustained into the higher
reaches of the rev range – familiar from M models. The engine
generates maximum output of 530hp and peak torque of 650 Nm with 0-100
kmph acceleration in just 3.8 seconds. The top speed of the special
edition – which comes as standard with the M Driver’s Package – is 302 km/h.
The engine also has an array of details borrowed directly from racing
car design, including its lightning-fast response, appetite for revs
and high-performance capability in track use. These details include an
extremely rigid crankcase with a sleeve-free, closed deck
construction, a forged crankshaft with lightweight design, cylinder
bores with a wire-arc sprayed iron coating and a 3D-printed core for
the cylinder head.
The eight speed M Steptronic transmission enables
extraordinary short shift times and fast, precise responses to every
nudge of the accelerator. The driver can access three clearly distinct
setups in both automatic and manual mode – comfort oriented, sports
focused, or track optimized. The M-specific Setup button on the
centre console provides direct access to the settings options for the
engine, standard adaptive M suspension, M Servotronic steering,
integrated braking system working in conjunction with the M Compound
brakes, and the M Traction Control function, which allows drivers to
set individual intervention thresholds for wheel slip limitation. M
Drive Professional makes an ideal companion for journeys fuelled by
extra adrenaline. The M mode TRACK and the ten-stage M Traction
Control allow customised handling characteristics. The M Drift
Analyser shows the angle and duration of drifts executed by the
driver, while the M Laptimer is ideal for those striving for the
perfect lap.
BMW Operating System 8.5 in the new BMW M2 CS offers
a wider range of digital content for information and entertainment,
faster update cycles for functions, improved information on charging
points for electric vehicles and optimized access to many specific
online services. The display and control system expanded to include
the BMW Head-Up Display in conjunction with the BMW Live
Cockpit Professional. The advanced display and operating
system offers a redesigned entry screen and “QuickSelect” access
with an improved menu structure oriented towards consumer electronics
devices. A host of BMW ConnectedDrive technologies continue to break
the innovation barrier in automotive industry – Telephony with
wireless charging, Head Up Display, Smartphone Integration, Active
Protection including attentiveness assistant with Park Distance
Control with sensors at the front and rear and Parking
Assistant. Active Cruise Control with Stop&Go function and BMW
Driving Assistant can be added as optional equipment.
For utmost safety, the new BMW M2 CS comes with head
and side airbags for driver and front passenger as well as head
airbags for rear seats as standard. Additional standard equipment
includes Dynamic Stability Control (DSC) including Anti-lock Braking
System (ABS), Automatic Stability Control (ASC), M Dynamic Mode (MDM),
Cornering Brake Control (CBC), Dynamic Brake Control (DBC), Dry
Braking function and Active M Differential.
The new BMW M2 CS delivers maximum driving pleasure coupled with an
outstanding performance and fuel consumption ratio thanks to
BMW EfficientDynamics measures such as intelligent
lightweight design, Auto Start-Stop function, electric power
steering, differential and transfer case with optimised warm-up
behaviour and aerodynamics. Adaptive M suspension as
standard offers a great spread between riding comfort and sportiness.
