The M2 already has a muscular and compact stance, but the CS adds a few visual touches that make it stand out. For starters, the original M2’s grey, blue, and black paint shades are joined by a new ‘Individual Velvet Blue’ colour, a purplish hue that truly stands out.
Expectedly, Carbon Fibre Reinforced Polymer (CFRP) plays a big role here. The roof is entirely made from CFRP, while the rear gets a CFRP boot lid with an iconic integrated ducktail spoiler. There’s also a CS-specific CFRP rear diffuser, CFRP mirror caps, and a blacked-out kidney grille with larger air inlets.
BMW also offers forged 19-inch front and 20-inch rear wheels finished in a mouth-watering gold bronze, which gives the car a distinctive look. These can be paired with sport tyres as standard, while track and ultra-track tyres are optional for those planning serious circuit work.
Inside the CS, the focus shifts towards weight reduction, driver engagement, and delight. The highlight is the pair of extreme M carbon bucket seats that combine Merino leather with aggressive bolstering, and proudly showcasing the CS badges, especially like the unique illuminated one on the door pads. The entirety of the centre console is also made from carbon fibre, while the Alcantara steering wheel features a red 12 o’clock marker and carbon shift paddles.
