2025 BMW M2 CS Likely to Get 518 Horsepower

Quote:

...Naturally, the power output remains a significant mystery, but insiders suggest that we can anticipate approximately 518 horsepower (525 PS). While this figure may appear substantial when compared to the base BMW M2’s 453 horsepower, it aligns more coherently with the upcoming enhancements expected for the BMW M3 and M4 Competition models in the following year. The power will be sent to the rear wheels via the ZF eight-speed automatic. No six-speed manual is planned from what we know.

Manual F87CS owners will like this news. Good for long term values.

JustinHEMI · 06-01-2023, 11:56 PM

I do wish that color was available now.

Tenac · 06-01-2023, 11:58 PM

Perfect color !!!!

If it’s anything like the CSL, this is going to be a scintillating drive.

In the comments of the article Horatiu states we will have xdrive with this supposed CS variant. RWD or xDrive which one is more plausible ?

500+ hp will be really pushing the limits of useable traction, esp in the shorter wheelbase M2, it would make sense to offer an xdrive and based on Horatius comments it could be the reality. It would be a monster!

If you believe the IND dyno test the base car already has ~500 hp at the crank!

yup, thats what it is always with BMW => advertised bhp figures = real whp figures

Think the CS will offer MT + AT options ...heard it from somewhere on the street lol...well if no 6MT then no buy...love that look though

boostspoon · 06-02-2023, 01:15 PM

I'd expect it to be a M2 CSL, following the ducktail seen on the M4 CSL.

Also sounds like they BMW isn't sticking a manual into anything but a base model.

I understand of automatic, but will happily pass. If it costs $90k with a 6MT, it would really keep me with BMW yet again and I would be making hard decisions to buy instead of going P car.

Do you all think there will be a lot of ADM on these?

Oh I'm sorry. I thought you were being funny about ADM on the CS. Since we have flippers trying to collect and ADM on the base, I assume that it goes without saying that there will be ADM on the CS.

No I was being serious lol. I haven’t paid attention to the special edition releases of any of the previous M cars so I didn’t know if ADMs were going to be common. If so, I’m out. A healthy ADM would likely put it into the $110,000s.

Would be nice to see this and cheaper than the CS.

The 240i already has an M badge and the 'M power dome' so...why not an S58 Supra?

Before someone start mentioning it's going to kill the M2/M3/M4 sales, yeah well, check up on how many people the Supra can move and its rear trunk capacity

The Supra has BMW DNA and its considered lightweight in this era so yeah, I say give it the S58 so it can compete in the pure sports segment against the Porsche GTs which the M cars were never meant for
