I have to admit I knew before I even sat in the seat that I was going to like the 2020 BMW M2 CS, I just hope that it would live up to my hope that it would remind me of the M cars of old. Growing up it was rare to see an M car, those M badges were special and held only for the best Bavaria had to offer. But a few years back, BMW started offering more and more M and M Sport models, suddenly almost every BMW you saw had an M badge.
The M2 Competition CS, which standards for Competition Sport, is far more than just an appearance package, the CS, feels like a BMW M car should, it is special. It looks exceptionally good in the Misano Blue paired with the optional matte-gold wheels wrapped in Michelin Pilot Sport Cup 2 rubber. Behind the wheels are massive carbon-ceramic brake rotors with matching gold calipers, a combo that will set you back an additional $8,500.
To save weight the CS gets a carbon-fiber roof, hood, and lightweight bucket seats, and center console, all of this helps shave an additional 83 pounds when compared to the M2 Competition. Inside the CS is replete with Alcantara and carbon fiber. The deeply bolstered bucket seats feature M branding as do the seat belts, the steering wheel from an M3/M4. There is a small back seat, but honestly, I wish the CS had come with a rear seat delete and harness bar since this is a "track focused" car.
