BMW M2 CS on-road review. Worth the £23k premium over the M2 Competition?

The 2020 BMW M2 CS is the ultimate edition of the M2 Competition with lots of carbon parts to drop the weight down as much as possible and 450bhp, a jump of 50bhp over the regular M2 Competition. But all this comes at a price as it costs £23,000 more than the M2 Competition. Is it worth it? Find out here.

The curb weights are such a great addition to these videos. Real world curb weights are not an easy piece of information to come by, even from manufacturers, so the fact that Harry has his own scales and weighs each car is massively valuable.

Harry and Ian Tyrrell complete my weekend.

You seem to be the only one who cares about cars weight. Most enthusiast talk about power and features, but you focus on the most important spec, the weight.
Thanks for sharing

As with all cars:
Do I need it? No.
Do I want it? Maybe.
Can I afford it? Hell, no!

Certainly would rather have this than the new M4

The M2 is what the M3 used to be.
Great review, as ever.

Harry, could you do a last dance with a Lotus Elise before it goes away ?

[DaleSteel]

They don't want to admit the massive weight difference between this and the very heavy NEW M3M4

The thing I like about Harry driving a manual car is his smooth quick gear changes opposed to other YouTube ‘road testers’ who snap and jerk the change, they haven’t got the idea of yaw and balanced drive..

It’s what my mum would call “a bit dear.”

2x HG videos and a Tyrell's Workshop. What a weekend

[FootToPedal]

Must say, I've been quite concerned about BMW's brand direction in recent times, as have many other enthusiasts. This video makes me feel much more confident that they are still building some fantastic driver focussed cars. Great work Harry!

Wonderful, another Harry's Garage video. Simply the greatest way to top off a relaxing Sunday afternoon.
Not much of a BMW fan but always a pleasure watching and listening to Mr Metcalfe.

Compared to new m3/4 this looks so much better. Besides e46csl best looking post 2000 bmw

YouTube saved the best till last...
Everyone else posted their reviews of this car a while ago, but HM is always worth the wait.

Spot on review, and my thoughts exactly. Buy a pre-reg'd M2 comp (delivery mileage) which I have seen at under £43, 000, give it to Litchfield and have a stage 1 tune and suspension upgrade and for under £50k you have got a beast of a machine saving £25k over the

Having driven this exact car, have to say it’s the best driving experience you could have. Love the CS.

@Harry just a small detail, the dashboard is analogue, not digital. It just has backlight numbers, and dials that make it look digital.

Burford to Little Rissington....some of my favorite roads...enjoy Harry and keep posted great content
