EAG Impressions
The F87 M2 represented BMW's return to its roots, offering a compact, high-performance coupe reminiscent of the original E30 M3. Unlike many previous M models, the F87 M2 was launched as a global product with minimal differences between European and U.S. specifications. Both markets received the same N55 turbocharged inline-6 engine, later upgraded to the S55 engine in the M2 Competition and M2 CS models. This approach signaled BMW's commitment to delivering a consistent M experience worldwide, much to the delight of American enthusiasts who had long yearned for parity with their European counterparts.
Overview
Sold new through Rick Hill Imports in Kingsport, TN, this Alpine White M2 CS has been in the care of a single owner from new. Since taking delivery in January 2021, the car has logged just 1,549 miles and remains in excellent condition, with service records showing the car was religiously serviced every 6 months, even if it only had been driven a few hundred miles. These M2 CSs were offered with a number of different exterior options, and one of the ultimates is the unique Frozen Gold finish wheels. Known as the Style-763M, these Y-spoke wheels practically glow when they are clean and let people know that this is no “ordinary” M2. On this example, those wheels sit in front of a set of steel brakes, which offer fantastic pedal feel and great initial bite. In classic BMW M fashion, a gloss carbon fiber roof panel moves the center of gravity down and lightens the vehicle while also looking outstanding.
The interior of the M2 CS remains largely unchanged from the M2 Competition, prominently showcasing both leather and Alcantara, which is accentuated by red stitching throughout the cabin. The dashboard trim proudly displays a distinct "CS" logo, intricately stitched in red, while the M-Performance seats pay homage to the classic tri-color M-Stripes first seen in the E36 M3. BMW has implemented several innovative measures to reduce weight in the M2 CS, including a carbon fiber transmission tunnel that sheds 6 pounds compared to the standard model. Further weight reduction is achieved through the removal of the center armrest and rear air conditioning vents.
Powering the M2 CS is an enhanced variant of the S55 twin-turbocharged Inline-6 found in the M2 Competition. The CS benefits from the addition of the ECU out of an M4 Competition, bumping power from 405 to 444 but with a more exciting power curve meant to make you work for the performance rather than offer up a flat torque curve just off idle. Available with either a 6-speed manual or a 7-speed DCT gearbox, the ultimate M2 CS configuration features the 3-pedal option found in this car. Under the hood, a large carbon fiber brace gives the car extra chassis rigidity and looks absolutely stunning, complimenting the extra carbon bits sprinkled around the exterior of the CS.
At EAG, we believe it's never bad when BMW decides to put more power into its smallest car, but the M2 CS is more than that. We can't get enough of driving these cars between the weight savings, chassis tuning, and altered power band, they are just so much fun.
