2020 BMW M2 CS (DCT) Review - $30K Better Than The M2 Competition?

Показать описание

The M2 CS is undoubtedly the best version of the F87 platform, but is it really worth the huge premium over the M2 Competition upon which it's based?

Crazy that you're still sub-100k subs. Keep up the good work!

Thanks for answering my email about the Supra and Cayman!

the DCT might be even more appealing now that BMW has ditched it in favor of the Zf 8 speed

The CS is expensive and at first I thought it was way too much over the comp (which is what I have) but say you don't wan to track it, the things that come on the CS are things people spend thousands to put on their comps, the 763 wheels, carbon lip, diffuser, spoiler, mirrors. Then you get a carbon hood and the roof. All those things alone will basically be the extra cash and you also get the "nicer" seats and better suspension. (and the misano blue color is great, the one to have on the CS) . However if you going to be tracking it then be better off spending the extra 30k on mods and have a more capable car (starting with the CS and then moding for the track seems like a waste).

Personal opinion- I prefer the DCTs in the modern M cars to any manual or ZF8. The last M car I’d gladly take a manual in is the E46 M3. What a car. But I always wonder how it would be with a DCT.

Anyways, I believe you, thetopher, tedward, Milesperhr, and thesmokingtire are the best auto journalists out here making content. I really think your format is my favorite. All about the driving and straight to the point. I hope you continue making videos and the channel continues to grow!

I couldn’t be more happier with my M2CS with a DCT. I haven’t driven a manual but the 7 speeds keep it in the sweet spot of the power band quite nicely I think. The low mileage DCT’s are still fetching a pretty penny as well ( although not as much as the manuals). If you’re chasing lap times the DCT is the better car.

M2CS is right up there as peak BMW for me. Maybe an e46 m3 with choice mods beats it but these cars are right at the top.

The CS is really nice, it's spot on IMO! What bugs me with the new standard M2 is that BMW have deliberately made it softer and more mild to make space for a Competition or CS later on. By all means leave out the more expensive options, but why not give the standard M2 a stiffer, more dynamic suspension?

The only thing the F87 M2 or M2C need is a set of KW 3-Way Clubsport coilovers and you are done. These are much more capable than the CS Coilovers and cost about 5 grand.

Suggestion: Next time you get a chance to drive a Comp or CS, set the steering to Comfort - I really think you'll prefer it. I tried all 3 settings at length in my Comp, and would never have thought the Comfort setting would wind up being my preference, but after reading about a bunch of other guys coming to that conclusion before me, I have to agree.

your punctuality with these videos is insane. M2 convertible is literally the rabbit hole that kept me up for 8 hrs last night, & now i wake up to find you posted just that.

Need to know what you think about the g87! & then we need it in convertible flavor!

Hey now... my wifes M2C feels special, too.

The steering/LSD/dct/Dtc programming can be updated to M2CS version on any m2. Camber correction hubs are standard on the CS for extra -0.5°, but you can fit them to any m2 unless you'd rather do adjustable front lower control arms or camber plates; this should be where most of the steering difference comes from.

Even a base m2 is traction limited (especially FBO + tune, can also upgrade a turbo for more top end excitement without sacrificing response) which makes it engaging and fun in a goofy way, but it wouldn't be able to keep up with something better balanced like a Cayman in the corners 😢 it does have better sensation of speed, but it's also a lot more work to drive fast since the turn in is nowhere as good, and it just wants to go sideways instead of putting power down, guess just front engine things. Sadly ohlins roadsport (road and track with softer swift springs and 3dm valving to match them) doesnt sort it out completely, need to do more to the suspemsion, add more alignment capabilities and maybe a front sway bar (stiffer front springs probably could've worked as well).
