The all-new BMW M2 CS elevates the premium compact sports car segment with unparalleled agility, enhanced power, and Motorsport-inspired design. Boasting 523 horsepower, a weight reduction of nearly 100 pounds, and a 0-60 mph sprint in just 3.7 seconds, the M2 CS delivers exhilarating performance for both track and everyday driving. Production begins in August 2025 at BMW Group Plant San Luis Potosí in Mexico, with deliveries expected in Q3 2025. Priced at a base MSRP of $98,600 plus a $1,175 destination fee, this limited-edition model continues BMW M’s legacy of driving excellence.
Building on the second-generation BMW M2, the M2 CS pushes performance boundaries with a high-revving 3.0-liter inline 6-cylinder engine featuring M TwinPower Turbo technology. Producing 523 hp—a 50 hp increase over the standard M2—and 479 lb-ft of torque, the M2 CS achieves a top speed of 188 mph with the standard M Driver’s Package. An intelligent lightweight design shaves 97 pounds using carbon fiber reinforced plastic (CFRP) components and forged M alloy wheels, enhancing agility and responsiveness.
The M2 CS is engineered for precision and dynamic performance, with upgrades including:
The S58 engine, also used in the BMW M4 GT3 EVO race car, features advanced technologies like dual mono-scroll turbochargers, High Precision Injection, and VALVETRONIC variable valve timing, ensuring lightning-fast response and sustained power delivery up to a 7,200 rpm redline.
The M2 CS stands out with exclusive design elements that underscore its high-performance pedigree:
Available exterior colors include Black Sapphire metallic, Brooklyn Grey metallic, Portimao Blue metallic (no extra cost), and BMW Individual Velvet Blue metallic ($3,600).
The M2 CS interior blends lightweight design with Motorsport flair, featuring:
The BMW Operating System 8.5 powers the cockpit with a 12.3-inch information display, 14.9-inch control display, and BMW Live Cockpit Professional, including BMW Maps and Augmented View. Standard features like Apple CarPlay®, Android Auto™, and a Harman Kardon Surround Sound System enhance connectivity and comfort.
“The BMW M2 CS is a testament to BMW M’s commitment to delivering pure driving pleasure, combining cutting-edge engineering with a legacy of Motorsport excellence,” said a BMW M spokesperson.
The M2 CS includes semi-automated driving and parking systems as standard, such as Forward Collision Mitigation, Active Cruise Control with Distance Control, Lane Keeping Assistant, and Parking Assistant. The M Drift Analyzer and M Laptimer cater to track enthusiasts, while the M Traction Control offers ten customizable wheel slip settings for precise handling.
