The BMW M2 and M2 Competition were always great cars, and the M2 CS promises a lot, but let's find out what it's all about during a first drive on track at the Sachsenring! Pleasingly, the news is good...
The spec on your tested vehicle has got an instant WOW factor! The colour is beautiful and the wheels are the killers! Definitely the spec I'd choose!;)
@@nessuno5403 ermmm... It's lighter than the M2 Competition LOL. Adaptive suspension is always a bonus BTW, not only it brings superior ride comfort compared to the standard car, but also better handling in sportier modes.
The reality is the M2 Competition and CS are THE best modern BMW “M car” made at any price point. The size, power, and balance is a work of art. These are powerful drivers cars that will crush cars costing 3 times as much $$$ on tracks like the Nürnberg ring. There is many videos showing these little monsters at wok.
a m2 cs is over 100k €, it wont crush a gt3rs or a turbo :D nor any other sport car, in that price range, even a cayman gt4 will be like 10 seconds faster
@William tech games So.. With all likelihood the next version will be heavy hybrid with hideous grille. It could be 5 years wait and this would probably still be the one imo.
I think I’m right on saying the m2 alone will go down as a desirable future classic but this, cause it carries the cs name will be worth an absolute fortune. Cracking car can’t wait till I get my hands on a m2 comp
This CS is pure marketing, it's as heavy as Competition unless you spend Porsche money and option the carbon brakes. The Competition just needs a retune (that's all CS is) and stickier tyres. Adaptive suspension is a heavy digital addition.
The M2 is the only true BMW car that BMW still make. It’s the only ‘fun’ car with character, personality and emotion in the whole range. Don’t get me wrong, technically BMW make great cars but they’ve just become painfully dull.
Some sort of individual pearl red paint colour with gold wheels and accents would be perfect with this car! I love that combo, especially with a Senna...
BMW specifically mentioned that they tried red as the hero colour for this car and for whatever reason it didn't work. Thankfully they used red for the LCI M5 Comp and it looks off the planet.
Sweet little car! Not sure if the CS is worth the extra cash in terms of driving, but I would love to have the Competition as a daily! Shame it cost around 370000 SGD fully-speced....
very happy you like this car Tim, I live in the city where they built the CS and my boyfriend got one too, we also saw the ones you're driving on the factory parking lot marked as press cars. very funny
Best M car made right now! Like a New version of the lightweight E46 M3, if they didn't hold it back to assure they keep selling M3's, M4's, and M5's it would be miles ahead of all of them. A pure turbo upgrade an a good pair of kc coilovers with a few other bits n pieces and dampers put it miles ahead of any M
Wow, Tim, you are really sending it big time out there on the continent. It is literally mind-boggling how consistently you can push out top drawer content for us. I take my hat off to you and your very talented team. Well done!
Had a 2013 135is. Cracked turbo inlet tube troubles made me dump it before the warranty expired. Bought a Mustang GT Premium with 19" wheels, Recaros, etc. It was a great replacement choice.
You can get a Competition manual and still have a classic or more so since it doesn't have adaptive suspension. More pure analogue. This CS is an overpriced marketing special - not CSL and no GTS engine hardware changes.
Then you know nothing. The F90 M3 CS and M4 CS were overpriced like this M2 CS, which is just cosmetics. The extra power is a mild retune and tyres are stickier, and both you can do to an M2 Competition. The M2 CS adaptive suspension makes it too heavy unless you option the very expensive carbon brakes. The M3 CSL was a genuine lightweight street racer, and the M4 GTS had proper hardware changes. This has neither.
@@guuslombarts9004 another idiot! The M2 Competition and the M2 CS both have the S55 engine. Only the software tuning changes. The original M2 had an N55 engine instead.
Aesthetics are great. Wouldn't be my choice for an "occasional" track driving car in that price bracket. There is a mid-engine car in that price bracket, which I know from experience is very settling on the track.
I've had a 2020 M2 Competition for a year and 10k+ miles, including some track and drift work. It's a fantastic car, but it does have a flaw - it's a bit porky at 3,600 lbs. very noticeable over my previous car, GTI Mk7 w/ +600 lbs. CS seems to save quite a bit of weight at 3,417 lbs, I'm curious how noticeable that is.
I had a 2016 m2. Wife was not pleased with its ride, so I sold it and bought a c43 amg. Boys and girls, do not make my mistake. I regret it every time I need to go and drive. No comparison, the bmw was so much better despite being similar price and 3 years older.
The car looks amazing but I'm wondering why you can't get any corner with a maintained turn of the steering wheel but always by little movements. Is it because the steering doesn't communicate much?
This is the best daily driver car ever, the looks of CS is just on another level that can't be beaten. The blue with gold is amazingly good. The disadvantages of it is price and how limited it is but I'm sure it will sell like hotcakes or it has been sold out.
In some countries people have canceled orders. It's an overpriced marketing exercise - you need to spend extra to make it lighter with carbon brakes. By then, a Cayman GT4 is better. The M2 Competition is the smarter choice. This CS is no collectable CSL or GTS spec.
The only Blue a M car should have in this size is Estoril. It's a shame they let that color float to other models. My E46 M3 in that color was a favorite.
My M2 was Long Beach Blue and I'm not a fan of Misano Blue, so mine would be Alpine White with black wheels, and manual. I think the Alpine White would contrast really nicely with the black and extra carbon bits of the CS.
geez i just got a silver comp 6 speed 2 weeks ago hate to say it i'm looking hard at one of these!! how good are these cars!!! comp or CS they are weapons!!!!
is it really much better than a m2 comp! you can get one of those with only 1000 miles for 40k then just add your carbon and map for more power! save a lot of money!

Shmee150 pls buy me one?
Hi shmee!
Well we can all say it looks amazing! I love the mesano blue.
The spec on your tested vehicle has got an instant WOW factor! The colour is beautiful and the wheels are the killers! Definitely the spec I'd choose!;)
Very impressed with Tim's knowledge and recall of all the cars details.
Straight-6, RWD, short wheelbase and a manual gearbox. BMW perfection!
Sounds like a winning combo!
BMW imperfection - they added heavy adaptive suspension
@@nessuno5403 ermmm... It's lighter than the M2 Competition LOL. Adaptive suspension is always a bonus BTW, not only it brings superior ride comfort compared to the standard car, but also better handling in sportier modes.
New Cayman gt4 is perfection, and a little cheaper i think

@@HustlerTrickipedia yeah lol, bmw has never been bang for bucks imo
yeah I disagree as well, the cs is in a high price range with many strong competitors
I don't know why I like small but loaded cars like this one.
@cyan br𐌄w right, but I think it's because they easier to maneuver and park.
You are right I have recently purchased the M2C and M8comp I hope to add this one to my Garage later this year
RS3 Limo. I just love a turbo 5 cilinder🍄
For nearly 80k it would need to be a lot better than it is
Same
Sell the supra and get one of these👌
Interesting idea
Oh this would be a fun nurburgring car
interesting idea 👌🏻
For me it wouldn't even be a question. The Supra is more for sacrilege. But I'd keep it to make it into project car if I had one.
Yep , the supra is unbelievably overrated
Seeing those three cars together going so fast remind me of the three black Honda Civics in fast and furious
LoL honda civic
Sly Carl elaborate
This could go down as one of the best M cars ever!
William tech games and? Will that matter In even 2 years? Nope.
@William tech games So.. With all likelihood the next version will be heavy hybrid with hideous grille. It could be 5 years wait and this would probably still be the one imo.
The only BMW I'd by is an M2 these days. None of the other models do anything for me anymore.
Too overboard
@@zeezy21 It's a CS.. 🤦♂️
Man that thing looks angry. And some are manual!!!
Yos
Yes u kan get 6 speed manuals
💯!!!
Manual??? SHIT i am ordering one!
I'm digging this M2 CS. What a beauty
You can get it considering that the m2
Is arguably the best bmw in recent times,i like this more than the M8
With a manual gearbox this could be a good track toy... I think a lot of them will be buyed by collectors.
*bought
But yeah I think you're right about that
Manual is terrible for serious tracking
JWil97 manual demands more skill
@@JWil97 a kid born after 2000 would say that lol
That sound is incredible, and this thing will be an instant classic.
Probably the engine noise coming from the radio since from the outside the exhaust is quiet.

Beautiful M2! Great review Tim i loved the 3 camera pov drive review!!!!! 👌👌👌
Genuinely, a very elegant yet aggressive looking car. This is what the modern M car should look like. Class!
Thank you for your hard work Tim. The consistency nearly everyday with your uploads, this has become like my favourite tv show
Thank you for watching and the support!
@@Shmee150 Honestly impressed with all the daily uploads. What happened to the New M5 video btw?
Izzy Santos As it goes I really can’t stand most of these UA-cam’rs.
The CarGuys & this fella, Shmee are really the only ones worth watching for me.
The M2 is the only true BMW car that BMW still make. It’s the only ‘fun’ car with character, personality and emotion in the whole range.
Don’t get me wrong, technically BMW make great cars but they’ve just become painfully dull.
They are only made with 50% German parts too. At least the M5. That’s why parts don’t last as long.
Sean German parts has nothing to do with it. The E46 water pumps, N54 fuel pumps, etc were all made in Germany
I would have loved to have one of these in your collection, a shame their all sold out
Doesn't mean it isn't possible...
Shmee150 next car ? HAHA

And this is what you call work, your a lucky man Tim
Loving the new triple camera view recently!
Am i the only one that moved my head to try and get a better glimpse of the new M4 that was camouflaged? Great job Shmee with trying to hide the M4 :)
Sweet little car! Not sure if the CS is worth the extra cash in terms of driving, but I would love to have the Competition as a daily! Shame it cost around 370000 SGD fully-speced....

Thanks for the support!
I wish BMW made special model aesthetics like they used to, where u have to buy specific body panels to convert to a CSL
Even in manual.
Love it👍🏻
I always watch until the very end for the pneumatic cheers!!
car looks great is most likely fantastic. But what to choose the GT4/GTS 4.0 or this. From a pricing perspective it is very very expensive
It's nothing significantly better than an M2 Competition
13:58 poor man....
Had a 2013 135is. Cracked turbo inlet tube troubles made me dump it before the warranty expired. Bought a Mustang GT Premium with 19" wheels, Recaros, etc. It was a great replacement choice.
That color is gorgeous and it clashes with the wheels so perfectly. Amazing content as always Tim.
25 years from now the 6-speed version with be worth $$$
You can get a Competition manual and still have a classic or more so since it doesn't have adaptive suspension. More pure analogue. This CS is an overpriced marketing special - not CSL and no GTS engine hardware changes.
I can really see it. Maybe even in 10 Years.
So are we just going to ignore the camouflaged unit next to the M2 CS?
Vinny’s M4 Its the new m4
Exactly!! I bet he deliberately didn’t look. Ffs
New 4-Series
It's disgusting.
What camouflaged unit? Where? I can’t see it!
Do you think the interior is dated?
Such an awesome track, i know it only from MotoGP and the elevation changes never looked so extreme on tv.
Shmee should make a video where he learns how to drift his m8
I dont think shmee would ever go sideways in a car lolol
For that traction control would need to be turned off.
Twitching the wheel all the bloody time , get joe Achilles to learn him how to track
The new 318ti...I had on and loved it.
The M2 CS LOOKS SICK😎👌🏻. Also it almost sounds like a V-8🤔.
That's a pretty nice looking specification. Probably my favorite since the E46.
You mean e 46
@@TheBirdmane23 lol yes I combined E46 and m3. Corrected it. Thanks
I could feel the transition from m1 to m2
This thing is gonna never loose it’s value I can just tell similar to the m3 csl

They’ll lose value once the dreaded crank hub failure causes a bunch of CS engine failures
@@pauldewar626 😂 it does happen but not to the extent that keyboard warriors publicize it. In fact, there's more of you imbeciles than hub failures 😉
Watching you run the track makes me want a bmw coupe again. Used to have a blast with my e92 335 coupe.
Shmee , what would you prefer a M2 CS or a M4 C ?
Aesthetics are great. Wouldn't be my choice for an "occasional" track driving car in that price bracket. There is a mid-engine car in that price bracket, which I know from experience is very settling on the track.
Exactly. This is an overpriced marketing model. Not lightweight like a CSL and not mechanically improved like a GTS. Go Cayman GT4.
14:41 whats that car in camouflaged?
Upcoming G82 m4
It's definitely a 4 series. It might be the new m4
Tim you like you’re limited cars so this is something for you & not THAT expensive tho
Glad to see the M2 CS put through its paces. I wonder how it would stack up against my M3 CS given the 2 year development gap. Cool film 👍🏻
Yes Tim. Looking forward to the new M5 update. . Nice1 Tim.
You are truly one of my favorite UA-camrs and I always look up to you! I hope one day I have a car collection that is as awesome as yours!
Thanks for the support! Best of luck to you
I've never liked the looks of the 2 series but damn this car looks good!
Never fully respected the M range until the new m2 as a whole. Think it’s incredible and the only flaws are all personal based not actual flaws.

Misano blue is absolutely gorgeous.

Placing my order on one that came available yesterday. Manual too!! Black, gold wheels.
Perfect shade of blue❗️👌
Driving with gardening gloves? So precious.
Wow. Impressive specs on that thing. Also, great looking with that short wheelbase and the flared fenders.
I dig the matte gold wheels.😎 they look good with a black colored version of the m2cs
Lovely car,the black alloys set it off nicely 👍💯🏎️
Holes on the hood are not for the "air to come in" they are makin under pressure in the engine bay so it cools from the air flow
The blue paint matches so well with the car itself. Have you already been to novitech for the senna?
Coming soon
Wow the M2CS looks like a real M3
Who’s here before you saw a M2 CS in real life!!!
Ctasy I saw one 2weeks ago :)
Where did you see it?
Milan Dekkers you didnt
Does seeing it a car show count
IS THIS REAL LIFE?!
Tim you should buy this track toy for sure.this m2 cs is a perfect match among with the m8 competition.
This is BMW at it's best. Perfect size look and hp
love that colour
This BMW M2 CS IS MY DREAM. JUST AMAZING CAR 🙏🏾
Gold wheels are always superb 👌👌
13:51 just the 2022 BMW M4 casually vibing in camouflage
Beautiful car. Love its looks and I love that blue.

My M2 was Long Beach Blue and I'm not a fan of Misano Blue, so mine would be Alpine White with black wheels, and manual. I think the Alpine White would contrast really nicely with the black and extra carbon bits of the CS.
Hockenheim Silver would be more unique to M2
Does this new M2 have the S55 engine or the new S58 which will be in the M3?
Getting a Subaru vibe here with the body color and wheel color. Looks amazing and some great updates to an already great car.
Can see this holding value very well long term
Shmee, what would you rate the sound? And do you prefer this new sound or the old, non-competition sound? Love you
geez i just got a silver comp 6 speed 2 weeks ago hate to say it i'm looking hard at one of these!! how good are these cars!!! comp or CS they are weapons!!!!

What's with the gloves ? Shirt with sleeves rolled up, alcantara covered wheel and gloves. Priceless.
is it really much better than a m2 comp! you can get one of those with only 1000 miles for 40k then just add your carbon and map for more power! save a lot of money!
Exactly, and grippier tyres
M2 CS with the same green as your M8 and with the gold wheels. That would have been awesome 😊👌
