I really cant see how it is hard to understand why they did not add aero to this car stock. And certanly there is no reason to think it has anything to do with either lack of know how or cost savings on BMWs part. Its purely to provide a blank canvas entry level race car platform.

This is litterally the description on top

Those cars were made for the same purpose as this car (also the M2 CS Racing). Specific cups were introduced for those cars, but the car was designed to participate in many environments. I have no doubt the same will happen for this car (we’ll see in the upcoming press release/specs reveal).

For example:

“As was the case with both predecessors, the BMW M235i Racing and BMW M240i Racing, the BMW M2 CS Racing continues to provide ambitious teams and drivers with an affordable opportunity to pursue their passion for motor racing, while helping talented young drivers and amateurs to take their driving skills to the next level at the wheel of a real race car.

At the same time, the BMW M2 CS Racing guarantees some thrilling motor racing. Whether on the unique Nürburgring Nordschleife, in the 24-hour race at the Nürburgring, in the DTM or on legendary circuits in Italy, France, Belgium , Spain, Portugal, Netherlands, Japan and USA multiple cup classes are taking place in various formats at the most legendary racetracks in Europe, offering spectacular racing to fans.”

These types of releases are a bit annoying…Some marketing speak about livery and zero details about the actual car.

How about what components are different, suspension adjustability, wheels and tire specs, interior, roll bar, seat, dash changes etc.

Livery is the last thing racers actually care about.

Even the GR Racing Cup gets a proper aero package. I am biased here, though. Fwiw, the CSR aero parts have worked very well, with obvious effect to corner speed and exit traction.

Livery is beautiful! Love it

Any details on suspension and camber plates used?

Not sure what BMW was thinking with this one. I mean, not everyone will and should like every single thing, but c’mon, this livery pattern is completely asymmetrical… if this was an animal, it would never find a mate because it lacks symmetry/beauty

The car is going to come I white…. Why is everyone so bent out of shape? The teams will do whatever.

This livery actually reminds me of the Ja zum Ring! Z4 GT3 from the 2012(?) VLN/N24.

The only thing that matters is how competitive it will be. And we know nothing about that.

The F87 M2 CS racing was not very competitive as I recall. Let’s give this one a chance please.

That crazy camo line wrap would make a great color option.

Once I understood the the design decision for the "line wrap" I appreciated it 1000x more regardless of the aesthetics.

What rims are they using?

So that’s the livery? I thought it was some type of camo
