"Given that the base model is already fine-tuned to an impressive 474 horsepower, there’s a strong likelihood that the forthcoming G87 M2 CS variant, which has been observed in testing, will surpass the 500-horsepower threshold."
Does it already have 474 hp, or is it getting 473 hp, which is it? And from multiple dynos we know it already has over 473 bhp, so it's really not getting a power increase at all, just marketing?
It does need some new colors (most of the lineup does). I also don't understand why they don't offer Carbon Black which is so much better than Black Sapphire?

Everyone always seems to conflate what BMW advertises with what the car actually puts down. The best way to look at it is whatever BMW says the car is making, it's making more. They always underestimate their power figures. I don't know why; they just do, and not just on M cars.
For arguments sake let's say the M2 in its current form which is rated at 453hp is actually putting down 473hp. MY25 with updated +20hp tune will be putting down more than that. It's that simple.
