This could be, the last truly great M car, and also pound for pound, the most capable car I’ve ever owned from new. And today I install the Akrapovic exhaust at Litchfield, links below:
Akrapovic system:
BMW M2 CS (F87N) - OPF/GPF 2021 Slip-On Line (Titanium) - Akrapovič Car Exhaust
Litchfield: Litchfield Motors - www.litchfield...
5000 miles down and I can’t stop driving it. A true spiritual successor to the E30 in size, capability and notoriety. The M2 Comp by itself is amazing, but the CS brings in small changes in meaningful places to massive final effect, as any good run out edition should
The S55 engine is the twin mono scroll turbo in line 6 engine, same unit as we found in the previous M4. In the comp it made 410BHP, but in the CS it’s had a massive boost to 450BHP, 550nm. That essentially a 10% hike, the most any CS model has ever gotten. M4CS got only 10BHP, and the M5 the same, equalling a nominal 2-1% respectively.
Theres manual and DCT options, this being the last DCT we will see too sadly, torque convertors still not quite as snappy yet. Places the 0-60 at 4.2 for manual and 4.0 for our DCT car here.
So the power bump is BIG, and it’s that paired then with more typical CS changes that begins to elucidate why this CS is so so much better overall. New bonnet in CFRP - halves the weight, increases downforce on front end, and aids engine cooling. Same style design as the M4 CS, similar application to M5. Forged wheels are 9kg front and 10 rear and come standard with Michelin Cup 2s: i have replaced them with PS4S for better performance in the wet. M Sport Brakes are larger too, 400mm front and 380mm rear: 4 piston front & 6 piston rear callipers finished in red. CCBs also available for the first time which are lighter: something I’m thinking of getting installed by the Welt in Germany!
New carbon roof with a “sandwiched” design, makes the car more rigid. No trim strips on it, means better acoustics, and no roof bows or insulation either. These two paired up reduce the centre of gravity. Front splitter, rear spoiler and rear diffuser work in tandem to increase downforce and channel air underneath the body.
The biggest differentiator for me however, is the inclusion of the M Adaptive suspension. It’s the only M2 to have it, and comes straight from the M4. This gives us comfort, sport and sport+ modes all with altered damper settings. Now, where we have saved weight in places this and other changes negate that to make the car the same weight as the comp.
BUT don’t write it off because of that, these additions alter the character crucially in my experience, particularly in suspension where it’s now a more compliant daily, but more rigid when you need it to be!
Today I also show you the upcoming G87 M2, spy shots show a more traditional car, and part leaks from China show a normal M grille and squared off rally car looks… I’ll discuss the engine and much more!
Will the M2 CS be the last great M? Will the Akrapovic system add the needed emotion? Today we explore:
⁃ M2 CS technical changes
⁃ Engine and power
⁃ Carbon fibre and weight
⁃ M adaptive suspension
⁃ Exterior design
⁃ Unique CS parts
⁃ Interior review
⁃ Old Exhaust sound
⁃ M2 CS Akrapovic Exhaust
⁃ EXHAUST installation at Litchfield
⁃ Litchfield tour
⁃ Next M2 G87
⁃ 2022 M2 render
⁃ Full driving review
⁃ Conclusion
Up next on on RBR is the new GLE63 S, M5 CS and MUCH MUCH More!! Subscribe to support us and see them first. :)

The only thing potentially stopping it from reaching that highest of high regard amongst enthus, is the monster price. Let's be real, the price from new is silly high. And because this has "future classic potential", will it be experienced by a lot of folks dow at the lower end of the market, where the M2 sits? I'm not sure.

How would you rate the damping between the two? I had the F80 M3 with adaptive dampers and the damping was horrible, especially the rebound damping, it was very sketchy when pushed and the rear was all over the place. The GT4 has much better damping tuning and is a true coil-over by Bilstein. Maybe BMW has made improvements to their adaptive damper tuning on the M2 CS, but on my F80 M3, I had to move to Ohlin R/T's to get the rear-end to behave and for it to inspire confidence when pushed hard.

I have the same car with carbon ceramic. Soon after I purchased it, I switched out the exhaust with Akrapovic system as well. It made the car perfect for me. I love this car. Like really love it. I don’t care if it’s going down in history or not. I will drive it every day. (Except in the snow). And I can’t wait to get it on the track. I won’t ever sell it. I hope my kids enjoy it as much as I do when they get it. Raz is correct in my opinion. The exhaust is the only thing needing improvement. I respect the M2comps out there, but honestly, if they haven’t driven this car, they can’t say it isn’t worth the price.

@@mariodiniz21 who was the driver in each car? What was their experience level? You can easily account for that difference based on the driver. I’m just saying, I have driven both cars and yes they are similar. However, the confidence you get when driving the CS is totally different. I don’t believe that 6 second variation correlates to anything. That’s just a reflection of the two drivers. The driving conditions and the car set up. If it was the same driver, and both cars had the same tires, driven on the same day, then I would change my mind. But again. That would only relate to that track’s lap time.

@@drdavediehl1 Sport Auto with the same driver did 7:52 on the Comp vs 7:42 on the CS.

So both cars with same tyres the time gap would be much closer at around 6 seconds. Sport Auto Nürburgring tests are as good/fair as they get. The CS is superior no doubt, just not that different. For me the exclusivity factor is much more interesting.

I can see how some people put it in that almost “upbadging” category of modification, and obviously upbadging or faking having a higher model of car is pretty universally hated.

there is no issue. yes the front splitter is made in conjunction with the rear spoiler according to bmw, they say you need both (actually they say you need the front lip if you going to put the spoiler or the front end can lift) but its not like you can't get both on your comp or OG m2. I can't with people that act like they are better than others because they have something fancier or more expensive. The CS is amazing but I am as happy with my M2 comp. Actually I might be happier because I can drive it and not worry about it, the CS, people are afraid to drive because its going up in price and a collector car. Its such a good car that I will save it for the next owner which will probably save to the next. Not Chris Harris though

Good video mate! CS is a cracking car and a proper upgrade over the standard M2comp. However, I feel you've not given the comp and standard exhaust a proper chance here. After market carbon upgrades on the standard M2's will have the same effect as whats on the cs - not sure it's 'aerodynamically optimised JUST for the cs'. The revving of the standard exhaust is during a cold start & in efficient - my video on the stock m2c exhaust vid showcases how decent the standard exhaust can actually be! With pops and crackles too! The Akra has been a fantastic upgrade however - makes the car fantastic once driving, being able to finally hear the car over the wind and road noise. Future tip: Wait for the car to finish it's cold start before revving. That way you'll get the pops and crackles Looking forward to more content on the M2cs!! 💙💙

Great as he M2 CS is the pricing. If you’re looking for a drivers car at this price range, I don’t know too many people that will take this over the Cayman GT4. Practically reasoning doesn’t make sense either, anyone that can afford this car isn’t daily driving this, they have a x5m or Cayenne GTS as a practically daily. I would say a mid engine GT4 feels more special, more of a occasion. I guess it doesn’t matter cause it’s sold out.

At the time it was about $85 new. Now their asking for over $100k w/ less than a thousand miles. I need that adaptive suspension so I'm shopping for a GTS, GT4 & Lotus Emira to replace my M2C. U have the perfect spec as well (getting CC brakes will really lighten up the corner weight if u have 15-20k). I would have tried to get a manual for that nostalgic M car driver experience but the DCT is amazing as well. Great exhaust choice!

Love all m2s but it’s not just the regs in other countries for the s55 exhaust note. It’s just not a pleasant sounding engine at all and having to shell out that ridiculous amount of money on an already expensive car for an exhaust is just silly and it still sounds bad with it. I think the only exhaust that sounds decent is the m2cs/ m3cs with m performance exhaust and that is just okay. With all that aside the f series m2 cars are just amazing in any trim that fits your fancy. For me it was a 2018 m2 lci all options with 6spd. I love the n55b 30t0 engine and exhaust is just intoxicating and I got ahold of some nice m2c seats. Making 530 at the wheels on 93 pump is more than enough for me for a carving cornering machine. My c7 z06 modded is my straight line beast.

I have owned both m2 cs and the competition, the steering is just so better though minor differences and you get so much feel of the chassis with the damping in the m2cs. it for many small reasons feels very playful and fun on back roads and no you cannot change the steering feel with the gts or cs software.

Such a great review, thank you! 👍🏽 Maybe one day I could own a M2. Even though the M4 is such a great car (F82/82), the M2 seems to be enough in every way, even the O.G. M2 or the M2 Competition. Really curious how the next generation would perform and look like. Wish you always a fun and safe ride! 🙏🏽🍀

You can’t go wrong with any M2 version. I personally love the OG. It has the most character and classic feel in my opinion. The sound especially with the MPE is par none.

@@f87 thank you for your respond. Yes I know what you mean. I have to add that since the new M4 is available and footage of the new M2 was shown I do think they are great cars but I would definitely buy a used F82 M4 or F87 M2, even though they look „dated“. I changed my mind a little bit, if I could afford it would be an F82 M4, rather then the F87 M2, because I do prefer the design a bit more. But both cars are bee nice! Have a great sunday!

Not if you want to share the experience with more than one other person or on the road where the Gt4 is simply too stiff and has it's fatal flaw of long gearing. I had more fun with the CS and I cross shopped both before going CS. M2CS has that addictive mid range torque that the GTS/GT4 don't have.

Stock for stock sure the CS is “better” out of the box but the 30k USD in savings from buying a Competition nets you a car that has a lot more track and weight savings potential over a CS in the aftermarket. Adaptive suspension isn’t worth the weight penalty especially after all the effort in weight reduction the CS had undergone in development to just to get a more comfy ride on the street and a more planted ride on the track. If the car was true to “CS” ethos it would have a suspension more akin to the M4 GTS/KW V3’s/Ohlins R&T. People in the comments are eating up the ///Marketing over the CS; for example, another thread claiming the CS has more power and torque. Misinformation. The CS has absolutely no changes in torque over the Competition

Hi mate, with the stock M2CS exhaust were you able to open the values by changing the engine modes (like you can in the M2 Comp)...?

The M2 cs certainly seems like one of the best after fitting the Akrapovic exhaust system. Great review as always and great car! Will you be reviewing the M5 cs soon? If yes, can you compare it to the M2 cs? I understand the M5 is much larger and heavier but curious how it compares nonetheless in feel and fun.

Great review, thanks for the effort. I have watched this particular review quite a few times. I have exact same spec (color, transmission, brakes) and look to change the exhaust as I also cannot stand the stock muffler aesthetic. May I ask if you have modfiied the suspension? It seems to sit lower than stock. Thanks and look forward to your future videos.
