Steering is more progressive (fast) especially during turn in off center. I'd say the most significant improvement is m4cs suspension coding. Car is way more taught without the over/under dampening. I haven't had enough space yet to turn everything off.

Nice feedback. Appreciate you sharing this

I'm curious on the CS models. Lets say someone gets an allocation. Do they go and build one at the BMW website or is there a behind the scenes process with the dealer who has the allocation? I don't know if the lucky folks who get an allocation actually get to pick options out or if the cars just came as is from the factory.

There's multiple large threads on the CS/CSL tuning. It's not "one or the other."

Do some research on this forum. Tons of reviews and info.

Here, let me spoon-feed you:

This is for an MSRP only dealer where you are possitioned in the top 3 spots for an allocation. The second the configurator goes live you should configure the car and send the build to your sales associate. The build with the highest MSRP will get built first. So put those CCBs on the car and pick a special color for the best chance. Then pray there is no VIP in front of you.

Most allocations are configurable but when dealers charge ADM they may configure the car to the highest spec and force the lucky person who wants to pay $30k over MSRP to accept it.

If we're being honest, I think that's too far fetched. This is a G87, not a GT3RS here. It's not super limited and the demand is not going to outweigh the supply by 10 fold. I say that based on the fact that F80/82 CS model were sitting on lots and now you can buy one for less than a regular model
2019 Clean Title M4CS
2018 Clean Title M3CS
Then again, the F87CS for some reason held it's value but is of course coming down
Like this one
The only real model that somewhat held it's value is the F90CS.
I don't think the G series CS cars are holding their value either and I don't think dealers will make the same mistake adding any sort of ADM in this market. If we're being honest, I don't think you should have any problem with simply going to your local dealership and getting an allocation at MSRP.

If they are starting manufacture in July / August with deliveries in August / September, I would have thought they would need a good few months to fill the order books so would be announcing something soon?

Very soon

What are we expecting msrp to be on this car? I’m going in to order a manual M2 on Saturday. Will this thing be worth the extra cost?

the only thing im weary of is the suspension as the dampers are different on the CS - both from an overall ride stiffness and reliability perspective - any opinions/insights on that?

I’ve seen rumours a rear seat delete will be an option on the CS… that could be quite the game changer if so, obviously it will be lighter but it’ll also add occasion and noise to the cabin!

I could see this happening, easy avenue for BMW to shed weight with minimal capital

They need to keep the price in check, as it won't be getting all the fancy aluminum or CF hood/doors from the bigger brother

So far we only know of the duckbill/trunk , & that was to be expected.

My only hope is they offer some kind of colored interior option for the CS. But I highly doubt that , maybe you never know

But more than likely it will be some sort of buckets, perhaps fixed ? , with some border or outlining in a different pattern/color . Pretty much like the M3 CS

They probably won’t announce the G87 M2 CS until May or so. Car doesn’t go into production until August. Relax.

[Crazyotter]

Do they have the M2 xdrive in testing yet?
I assume it’s not going to take a lot of testing since they have xdrive on the m240 already.

It's in the works but there haven't been any spy shots of it testing. It also wouldn't be the same as the M240i. It will get the same setup as the M3/4 which is "M xDrive" but will be tuned for the M2. M xDrive is tuned for performance and has other features the regular xDrive setups don't, like decoupling the front wheels to make the car RWD.

If all goes well, I will film it next month. But won't be unveiled next month
