Take Your First Look At The New BMW M2 CS
BMW has released the first official images of the upcoming M2 CS, offering a clean look at the coupe’s design ahead of its full reveal later this week.
Key Points
- BMW has released official images of the upcoming M2 CS.
- The car features revised aerodynamics, gold wheels, red brake calipers, and a matte grey finish, along with a stripped-down interior and CS badging.
- While technical details remain unconfirmed, rumors suggest a 518-horsepower turbocharged inline-six, rear-wheel drive, and an automatic-only transmission.
The M2 CS follows the well-known Club Sport formula—more power, less weight, better dynamics. Presumably, at least, the automaker hasn’t released performance specs yet.
The images do confirm a few design changes that separate the CS from the normal M2. The front fascia has been revised with larger air intakes and new aerodynamic surfaces, which join a monster ducktail spoiler at the rear. Gold wheels and red brake calipers round out the major exterior changes.
The single photo of the interior shows lightweight bucket seats, red accents, and red CS badging.
Rumors point to a modified version of the S58 turbocharged inline-six under the hood, making more than 500 horsepower. Unlike the all-wheel-drive M3 and M4 CS, the M2 CS is expected to remain rear-wheel drive. It's also unclear if BMW plans to offer the M2 CS with the option of a manual transmission or if it will become auto only.
Additional information, including drivetrain specifics and performance figures, should arrive with the full unveiling on May 28.
