Lightweight by Design
Weighing approximately 30 kg less than its standard sibling, the M2 CS leverages advanced materials and race-bred engineering. Key elements like the carbon roof, hood, boot lid, front splitter, diffuser, and centre console are crafted from CFRP, significantly improving agility and responsiveness.
The eight-speed M Steptronic transmission with Drivelogic ensures lightning-fast gear changes, while model-specific engine mounts and suspension tuning deliver razor-sharp handling.
Track-Ready Chassis and Braking Systems
The M2 CS features bespoke suspension tuning, including lowered ride height, custom dampers and springs, and recalibrated DSC and M Dynamic Mode systems. Standard M Compound brakes with red calipers offer serious stopping power, while M Carbon ceramic brakes are available for those who demand ultimate track performance.
Bold and Functional Design
Visually, the M2 CS is an aggressive evolution of the M2 lineage. The front end is dominated by a redesigned M kidney grille, matte black splitter, and adaptive LED headlights. At the rear, a dramatic carbon ducktail spoiler and unique diffuser amplify the coupe’s muscular stance.
Exclusive 19″/20″ forged M light-alloy wheels in matte Gold Bronze, wrapped in track or ultra-track tyres, further enhance performance and presence.
