M2 [Hot!] 2020 BMW M2 CS

[hoffmeister_fan]

Love it. The price though....

At £75k its a no from me. Did originally want one, but not at that price point. They say its a racecar with license plates but a lack of buckets suggests otherwise.

smart man would just get a used m2 competition if he really wanted one. Or a used gt4 or a early 991 GT3

Deposits for the car were being taken in 2016 apparently, so the cars been confirmed for quite some time now.

1,625kg to EU1 standard. 1,650kg when equipped with the M DCT.

Does anybody have any photos of the face BMW executives were pulling when they decided on the selling price?

ps. Also the face of Porsche execs deciding Taycan Turbo S prices

Over a 100k usd for an M2???

Yes my friend worked at bmw mayfair and told me to not bother putting in a deposit as he already had 4 infront of me. This was 3 years ago. However all those deposits where off the back of a m2 CSL, not a m2 CS.

Reading those specs im not sure im seeing anything special

 

[hoffmeister_fan]

Not gonna like, I clenched hard when I saw that it starts at 95,000 euros. Insanity.

I’d take a C8 Corvette (even pay a little over sticker) and call it a day with all bases covered.

I have a strange feeling I will be saying this a lot.

I'm still waiting for a proper, lightweight (if it's even a thing in 2019), hardcore BMW CSL-model...

 

[Zafiro]

Have to disagree. I am just an average driver and there are lot of back roads where I live where I can thoroughly enjoy a good sports car without doing anything dangerous or crazy.

And I don't know about a 320d, but we have a 328i (previous gen - F whatever). It is not a great car to drive. Steering is shit, suspension is floaty, brakes are grabby, accel...

I know Sunny. We have some wonderful roads in Sweden too where I can drive my car and motorcycle and enjoy them. But you don't need to pay a fortune for car to have the time of your life, a hot hatch is awesome too.

A 3-serie will do just for fine for most people, because they don't even know what a good steering feels like.

BTW a M2 CS in 3 years, prices should drop until then and offer a good value. It's not a M3 CSL so it won't hold its value.

Yep. It is a pitty with BMW M and its CS models
The setup/tweaking is spot on (at least with M3/4 CS) ... being the nice balance between still everday driveability and sporty engagement!
But pricing? C'mon. The recipie for the CS is basically:
Slight engine sw tune.
SW tune for adaptive dampers
Wheels from existing accessory program
Front/rear carbon spoiler
Carbon hood
Minimal interieur styling changes.

In case of F8x BMW demands the price of a base 1 series for these changes!
Normal F8x owners get the performance relevant sw tunes for some hundred €. The accessory wheels plus CS front/rear spoilers you can get for around 6k €. So this saves you approx. 30k€ compared to a CS, but you have a car which drives exactly like a CS and almost looks like ... BMW has to think about its CS pricing imho ...

Have you seen the price of the AMG GT R Pro?

 

[martinbo]

Apparently, despite all the cool carbon bits it's no lighter than an M2 Competition. Law of diminishing returns applies well here. Still, money aside, it remains a rather special machine and those who are lucky to enough to get their hands on one won't be disappointed - that's for sure.

A 3-serie will do just for fine for most people, because they don't even know what a good steering feels like.

Nonsense about steering feel in a 3er! In mine, I can feel perfectly fine that it's shit.

 

[mihc]

So how much is it actually lighter than standard Competition?

With 1635 kg for the manual it looks like it is heavier.

It's really cool. But not £75,000 or €95,000 or R1,600,000 cool.
