[CocoPops]

*If Mods could Merge the Leaked thread with this one please*

The new BMW M2 CS is the first exclusive and limited-run special-edition model created by BMW M GmbH for the premium compact class. It is positioned as a high-performance model above the BMW M2 Competition and will build on the success already achieved by the BMW M3 CS and BMW M4 CS.
Immensely capable basis for the BMW M2 CS Racing model, BMW M Motorsport’s new entry point to amateur racing and the new Clubsport segment (available from 2020).
New carbon fibre-reinforced plastic (CFRP) construction for the bonnet cuts its weight by 50 per cent; eye-catching central air vent increases downforce and improves engine cooling; roof made from CFRP.
New front splitter, Gurney spoiler lip on the boot lid and rear diffuser in exposed carbon fibre.
Six-cylinder in-line petrol engine with M TwinPower Turbo technology and 3.0-litre displacement develops 331 kW (450 hp) in the BMW M2 CS – i.e. 29 kW (40 hp) more than in the BMW M2 Competition; peak torque is 550 Nm (405 lb-ft).
Acceleration from 0 – 100 km/h (62 mph) in 4.0 seconds (with manual gearbox: 4.2 seconds); electronically governed top speed with standard M Driver’s Package: 280 km/h (174 mph).
Six-speed manual gearbox fitted as standard for the first time in a BMW CS model, seven-speed M double-clutch transmission (M DCT) available as an option.
Fuel consumption combined (provisional figures): with six-speed manual gearbox: 10.4 – 10.2 l/100 km [27.2 – 27.7 mpg imp]; with optional M DCT: 9.6 – 9.4 l/100 km [29.4 – 30.1 mpg imp].
CO2 emissions combined (provisional figures): with six-speed manual gearbox: 238 – 233 g/km; with optional M DCT: 219 – 214 g CO2/km.
Standard specification includes Adaptive M suspension with Comfort, Sport and Sport+ modes, plus M Sport brakes with red-painted callipers; M Carbon ceramic brakes are optional; Active M Differential and M Dynamic Mode (can be selected as required).
Lightweight 763M 19-inch Y-spoke forged wheels in a high-gloss black (jet black) or optionally a matt gold colour shade; shod with specially adapted Michelin Pilot Sport Cup 2 tyres.
Dual-branch exhaust system enhances aesthetic and aural appeal, features two electrically controlled flaps and four stainless steel tailpipes bearing the M logo.
Lightweight, bucket-style M Sport seats from the BMW M4 CS with integral head restraints featuring BMW M stripes; seat backrests in Merino leather / Alcantara and with red contrast stitching.
M Sport steering wheel with Alcantara covering and a red centre marker as an option.
Exclusive Misano Blue metallic paint finish.

[UpNcOmiNg!]

Literally, all of the want. All of it, plus then some more as well.

[Nukleuz]

Such a nice package!

Any idea what the pricing is going to be ?

[Gordvisr]

ja nee

[Chavoos]

Same power output as the M4 competition.

When the M4CS was launched, it was 400+k more than the M4 so expect pricing to be very steep.

[SendNudes]

Sigh.

The amount of want I have.

Well it says it is priced from 95000 Euros... which is R1.55M as it stands... before whatever taxes and premiums SA and BMW grace us with locally. We also know the carbon ceramic brakes are over R100K as an option (and would you go all the way to buying a car like this without ticking that box?). There are probably at least another couple of boxes to tick even after that...

M-DCT brand new M2 Competition can be had for 1.05M

It certainly isn't worth 500K more (let alone whatever extra it will be). However all that matters is whether the desire of the 30 M fanatics that will buy this car is enough to justify the R500 to 700K premium over what is a very very nice little car... IF it is a car that speaks to you, you will find a way to make it happen.

With all the available M3 and M4cs examples available at around this price, what decision do you make when choosing between these and the baby M Car in its ultimate form? Unfortunately I think hype behind the M2 Comp has driven this price to where it is (and if I was BMW I would honestly do the same if I had many hardcore fans willing to drop serious money on a car like this beyond all reason). Whether the market will respond to this level of pricing for a car like this? I have my doubts.

I would have paid R250 to 300K over an M2. 500 to 700? I will go buy a lotus/noble/KTM/4C for track days (in spite of Alfa LMFAO) and regular M2 as a mixed use weapon.
