Chris Harris takes us through his BMW M2 CS. The video covers the driving dynamics of the car, why he chose for his M2 to look the way it does, and of course some sideways action around Llandow Circuit.

Yes but interesting how when the video is 100% positive for the car, everybody focuses on how much we all love Chris. But if the video has the slightest comment about a BMW, every internet sofa, people who never passed outside a BMW dealership let alone owned a BMW, start writing "comments" about how "BMW lost its way".

Glad you've had such a good time with yours, Chris. My 2021 M2 Competition flooded itself with rain water with only 400km on the engine (presumably due to poor sunroof guttering fitment from the factory). I've spent almost 6 months trying to get BMW to treat it as a manufacturer warranty situation, which they've refused to do at every turn. It would appear that poor guttering and seals, leading to a brand new car flooding itself during regular rain is the customer's fault. As a result it's sat there almost entirely undriven, and still unrepaired for the entire year. My friend's sister-car in a neighboring state had fitment issues in the cockpit leading to wind buffeting, an intercooler hose which came off on the highway and left him broken down with the kids in the back, and then finally had its sensors decide all his tyres were flat, stranding itself on his driveway. The M2 has represented the single worst automotive experience I've ever had, and I've heard about a notable number of build quality issues with others outside of mine. It's interesting to see how a person's experience with them can drastically change based on the seeming flip of a coin. Again, glad you've not experienced this, as I would not wish it on anybody. Certainly not with BMW's complete apathy toward the situation. It's important that people also hear about the other, slightly less exciting side of owning these cars.

Love this...and agree, as you get older, your toys just come in bigger boxes! Traded in my M2 Comp last week (which I had for 3 years) for a M4 Comp XDrive. Felt rather emotional driving it to the dealership that last time, found myself stroking it gently and saying goodbye. Although a step down from the CS, I absolutely loved that car (tuned it to 520hp & Remus exhaust). It was a handful and thrilling...driving it felt like an event (especially during the winter months!). Still at the foreplay stage with the M4 (engine still at break-in), not really had a chance to get to know her (yet)...more grown up and capable, sure, but I know I'll miss my M2's raw thrills.

Go find the rattiest m2c you can and whack in on a loan finance term so the payments aren’t too bad. It’s worth it. I’ve had an m2c for two years and I am never selling it. I’ve driven the new m3/4 and it feels like a 3/440i with more power - too refined and too dailyable. An m2c will be what an e46 is today and will be what a e30 m3 is today in years to come. It’s the last car with traceable roots to cars of a bygone era. It’ll be the car in 20 years would want to buy as a classic.

Nice one , enjoy your new car ! I've just reviewed a 2022 M3 Comp Xdrive, and altough it is a superior car to the M2 , i've just found myself missing a bit of thrills... Everything is so seamless, you almost dont feel a gearchange, the sound from inside the cabin sounds rather dull & muted, en there's not a lot of steering feel or feedback... the Xdrive system is a pretty neat feature , in 4wd it's on rails , put it in 2wd and it becomes a drift superstar! But it is a enormously fast car , the speeds you achieve in very little time is mindblowing..we did a 0-100 kph in 3.61 seconds, on a warm day and on michelin ps4 s tires...i compared it more to a baby M5 than an grown f80 M3...

I had a modified 135i before this, and as much wild fun as that was, the CS is the perfect balance for local backroad carving and traceability. Even with the manual, it's actually enjoyable to drive in traffic with the light clutch and auto rev match. Only car I'd consider trading for is a GT3 Touring, but that's a big leap in price.

I also absolutely love that green, and with the gold CS wheels they compliment each other perfectly. I’m now wondering though, why spend the money on a CS to daily drive when you could just upgrade the suspension on an M2 comp, like Chris has done here, fit an akrapovic and have it remapped to suit? Of course it won’t be as special. But for the money spent surely it can’t be that much less enjoyable on a British backroad? Great car, great vid.

Yes, when Chris produces a video which quite literally is a tribute to BMW, everybody comments about Chris and about his videos. Whenever there is the slightest hint about BMW, every single internet sofa expert who hasn't even walked by a BMW dealership, let alone ever owned a BMW, "comments" to say how bad BMW's are.

This vid makes me happy that I bought my M2Comp. Although not the CS, the M2C is my first ‘fun’ car and I’m really enjoying getting to know it. I was originally gonna try to keep the KMs low, but I eventually decided ‘fuck it mate!’ and I drive it more regularly now 🤩

"Had it wrapped" 😮 Whoever did that wrap is an absolute LEGEND - the complexity of the curves on that M2's front end is insane. The complexity of that wrap would have been off the charts - I've watched this back in 4K and I cannot find one seam or fault, anywhere! Wow, dude, I need this wrap pro in my life.

heavy,extraordinarily numb steering, needs 10k in upgrades to work as intended. Why the CS is not the standard m2 is totally beyond me. Are Bmw sabotaging their "standard" m cars to unlock them at absurd premiums? don't get me started on the price tag. Keeps the e46 values up so i'm not complaining :)

Have you driven a CS or are you talking about the M2 Comp? I don't think it's very numb as an owner of a CS. Somewhat numb at most but better feel and response than Comp, OG or any M3,4,5etc.

Sorry Chris, respect when respect is due, you can keep all the torque the modern M cars give you, but revving the absolute nuts off any old school M engine (those ITBs!!!!) all the way to 8K+.....nothing beats that even by todays standards....despite the notories issues related to then (knock knock).
