The BMW M2 CS Is One Manual Away From Being Perfect
Published: July 26, 2026
The "Purist" CS
Many passionate sports car fanatics call the BMW M2 the ultimate modern M car because of its small size. This billing is even more true of the hardcore M2 Competition Sport version, which was the only rear-drive CS model up until recently. It may produce less power than its M3 CS and M4 CS counterparts, and the lack of xDrives means it's slower to 60 mph, but the M2 CS is a car that demands respect. This is no "baby" M car.
