BMW M2 CS Review - Is this the best driver's BMW M car?

Looking for a used BMW 2-Series in South Africa? We have over 460 to choose from!

What you see here is the most hardcore version of the M2. This is the BMW M2 CS, a cutthroat limited-edition version of one of the finest products to emerge out of the BMW M factory. There's more power, but less weight and the focus is on pure driving enjoyment.

We got our hands on one of the very few units that made their way to South Africa and spent a day out on an airfield drag racing it against the crazy Mercedes-AMG A45 S, and you can watch that video here:

In this video, our relatively tame motoring journalist Ciro De Siena is let loose on a 2km runway in car number 30 of 30. Is this car an instant collector's item and the ultimate driving tool? Ciro tries to not scare himself as he drives the new BMW M2 CS.

I watch alot of car reviews, I enjoy this guy the best .He doesn't talk complete rubbish .Well done .

[athansari]

Just got the manual version of this car and you’re right, it’s just mental !! I may not be a great race car driver but everytime I drive it snd look back I wand to get back in it again. As an experience, One car that probably comes close is the GT3RS and these cars all like Art. The value lies in the eyes of the beholder! So thank you for such awesome reviews always!’

[brucekendall]

I could easily live with this car even if I am not a racing driver.Thks.

This car doesn't need traction off to go crazy. You should drive it with traction control fully on, there is enough fun. This is one of the best modern machine on sale.

Absolute beauty of a car, the body, rims & brake calipers colors matches up so neatly! Seems like one for the collectors garage.

[WTF_]

M2 CS = Porsche GT4 with seats for 4 adults plus luggage. A win-win for me!

[oomstu]

that analogy of sex and driving, spot on lol!!

[CobusDerrenberg]

[abetlaka]

This car (the Cup tyres )reminds me of the iconic M3 CSL of old.

[shoshKid]

BMW has gone crazy with their M cars. Mental!!

[Hankblue]

"If you're watching this I assume you're in the market for an M2 and money is no object"

You assume wrong sir, very wrong.

Warranty issue the same with the Cayman GT4

[sikelelabiyana]

Ciro probably moonlights as a comedian 🤣😂.

[hermanpooe]

Is the warranty being voided because of track use a BMW South Africa thing or a Global thing?

[spoiltautohaus]

It’s more motivating for me to get means and drive the TCR. 🙏🏽

[drevil]

I love the m2's looks but i'd rather have the merc or the porche although i would probably settle with a tt

[katlego_]

I wish you had got out of the car and showed us more of it's exterior. Now the whole video is your voice and the sound of rolling wheels... The same happened with the a45S AMG review. Please just admire it's exterior your own way! Yeah have fun driving the car but review the whole car... I wonder it's it's your chest height or shorter... Can people fit in the back? But nonetheless, thank you for bringing me closer to loving the car in a South African way!

[rizwantagari]

Pocket rocket 🚀🔥, a future collector's item, absolutely, wonder if it's better with a 6 speed manual ?

[elmonyopi]

Editors, the engine sound played @ 9:12 is from a Merc A 45 AMGs..
😂
