Ever since the BMW M2 CS won EVO Car of the Year 2020, I've wanted to have a go in one. How could it be so much better than the already much loved M2 Competition? How could it be so good that it beat the likes of McLaren's 765LT, Ferrari's F8 Tributo and the insanely popular GR Yaris?

Even though the weather was a bit of a disaster during my loan, I quickly realise the real question is for £75,000, would you buy one instead of a Porsche 718 Cayman GT4!

From BMW:
The new BMW M2 CS (fuel consumption combined: 10.4 – 10.2 l/100 km [27.2 – 27.7 mpg imp], CO2 emissions combined: 238 – 233 g/km*; with optional M DCT: fuel consumption combined: 9.6 – 9.4 l/100 km [29.4 – 30.1 mpg imp], CO2 emissions combined: 219 – 214 g CO2/km*) is the first exclusive and limited-run special-edition model created by BMW M GmbH for the premium compact class.
It is positioned as a high-performance model above the BMW M2 Competition and will build on the success already achieved by the BMW M3 CS and BMW M4 CS.
• Immensely capable basis for the BMW M2 CS Racing model, BMW M Motorsport’s new entry point to amateur racing and the new Clubsport segment (available from 2020).
• New carbon fibre-reinforced plastic (CFRP) construction for the bonnet cuts its weight by 50 per cent; eye-catching central air vent increases downforce and improves engine cooling; roof made from CFRP.
• New front splitter, Gurney spoiler lip on the boot lid and rear diffuser in
exposed carbon fibre.
• Six-cylinder in-line petrol engine with M TwinPower Turbo technology and 3.0-litre displacement develops 331 kW (450 hp) in the BMW M2 CS – i.e. 29 kW (40 hp) more than in the BMW M2 Competition; peak torque is 550 Nm (405 lb-ft).
• Acceleration from 0 – 100 km/h (62 mph) in 4.0 seconds (with manual gearbox: 4.2 seconds); electronically governed top speed with standard M Driver’s Package: 280 km/h (174 mph).
• Six-speed manual gearbox fitted as standard for the first time in a BMW CS model, seven-speed M double-clutch transmission (M DCT)
available as an option.
• Standard specification includes Adaptive M suspension with Comfort,
Sport and Sport+ modes, plus M Sport brakes with red-painted callipers;
M Carbon ceramic brakes are optional; Active M Differential and
M Dynamic Mode (can be selected as required).
• Lightweight 19-inch Y-spoke forged wheels in a high-gloss black or
optionally a matt gold colour shade; shod with specially adapted Michelin
Pilot Sport Cup 2 tyres.
• Dual-branch exhaust system enhances aesthetic and aural appeal,
features two electrically controlled flaps and four stainless steel tailpipes
bearing the M logo.
• Lightweight, bucket-style M Sport seats from the BMW M4 CS with integral head restraints featuring BMW M stripes; seat backrests in Merino leather / Alcantara and with red contrast stitching.
