It will be an unpopular statement, but I really don’t understand the hate the cars get aesthetically… I really like the lines

It’s all relative hate because God broke the mould after F87

Never been a fan to be honest, but I have now derailed the thread…

CR8IVE · 09-18-2023, 02:47 AM

Other than the front bar splitter lip and the duck tail boot lid there doesn't seem to be much difference compared to the 'normal' M2, externally.

Ravenseal · 09-18-2023, 01:40 PM

Those look like the (heavy) stock cast wheels on the base G87. What exactly are they testing here if they’re excluding one of the key areas for improvement on the CS model? xDrive?

blkbtyM2C · 09-18-2023, 06:41 PM

my only hope is that these comes with the manual option still.

I doubt they will but depends on what sort of power the stock engine will be making relative to how much the clutch can handle

Rubberband tires

Why bother with all the camo? It's the same car isn't it?

At least it’s a properly lowered suspension

This is how they attract a swarm of spy photographers

I think the car is just under load taking corners that’s why it looks slammed.

Really looking forward to CS.
Just wish interior didn’t have the dumb ipad screen…..

BMWCAT · 09-18-2023, 08:21 PM

We are pretty certain this is not a competition model anymore right? (From which ever interview with M saying there’s no reason for Comp for the G87?)
I remember last gen when the M2 comp were testing people all initially thought it’s the CS…

(Testing CS with the base cast wheel is certainly interesting…

)

Will it be a MANUAL??!

They have the ZF 6Spd so why not

440i6MT · 09-18-2023, 11:21 PM

Wait, what? Didn't the regular M2 just come out?

I've made this point before, but why not release the best version of a model you have and stamp it as such. The last car they did this with was the e60 M5. No competition package nonsense, variable model names, etc.

Reason why is simple: because they need to sell cars to live.
Nobody buys the CS variants because they are too special, cost too much.

I sure wouldn’t buy a 120k M2.

More power to those that will. They will be a limited bunch.

Everybody love the lines but its that front that hurts the eyes ..

carjoy · 09-19-2023, 04:51 AM

What a pathetic effort if it is indeed the M2 CS. Almost nothing different outside over stock. A stupid front lip and ducktail isn’t enough. The last CS stood out from the base more. They will probably amp up the HP with a tune and call it a day. Interior will come with a little more lipstick, but don’t expect too many changes. Wheel choice are mystery, but perplexing customers seems to be the modis operandi at BMW. Losing interest in the brand one lazy effort at a time.

DVD18 · 09-19-2023, 05:01 AM

Sad appearance.

We didn't bother too much with this.
Surely they understand this and have already moved on to creating the next generation.

Good thing this is BMW- Porsche ditches the manual in favor of PDK on their RS models for performance sake. Which is understood but manual control of an engine is still awesome in its own right.

I’d imagine it will start just under $100K and have the carbon buckets standard. Power will probably match the M3/4 Comp. The F87 CS started at $83.5K. People will buy this car, just like they did with the F87.

I don’t think a 6MT will be offered. I’ll hold any comments on aesthetics until I see a more finished product.
