2023 BMW M2 vs. F87 M2 CS: DRAG RACE

Welcome to our thrilling drag race between two iconic BMW M2 models: the 2023 BMW M2 and the F87 M2 CS!

The 2023 BMW M2 represents the latest iteration of this legendary sports car, packed with the latest M engineering.

On the other side, the F87 M2 CS, a limited-production model, brings its own arsenal of upgrades, including track-focused enhancements, and a lower weight.

Both BMW M2 models are sending power to the rear wheels via a six-speed manual. The 2023 BMW M2 makes 453 hp, while the F87 M2 CS makes 444 hp. But, the new BMW M2 weighs nearly 300 lbs more.

Will the extra 9 horsepower make up for the extra weight? Is the driver's skillset going to decide the drag race? Let's find out!

I have a feeling the drivers should choose transmission for drag race they are used to, in this case automatic transmission.

[fastanfun]

Roll race would have been better with these drivers😅

[azikosha]

Nice vid..but sorry, the M2 CS driver was hitting the limiter every time, thus losing a lot on every shift. M2 CS is much faster than a new M2 in the hands of the right driver.

[StefBelgium]

People always claim that a manual transmission is way better to appreciate a car but not a lot of people know how to properly shift gears and being consistent in doing so. I won t even talk about rev matching because most of the time, in car reviews, it is not properly executed.
This battle would have been meaningful with both cars equipped with an automatic transmission to remove the driver impact from the equation.

This cars are neck on neck on this race...I was expecting a 1/2 mile run and roll races at different speeds, track run to see which had top run and dynamic....Thanks for the video, please re-run

[REVolutionsAutomobile]

F87 driver messed. Every attempt could have been so much better. It’s like he wanted to lose.

[lorsamadey]

I shift faster when I park my car then guy in m2 cs does.

[grigorioschristodoulou]

M2 CS is where it’s at, or even M2C with KW, camber plates and small Schirmer ;)

The rear axle of the G87 is mighty (tested one yesterday) and it’s plenty powerful but it feels too digital and you sit too high in the non-carbon seats.

F87 is still CBU in germany, G87 is made in mexico....
F87 is a playful car, G87 is a fast car....
F87 is best lokin wif sharp curve, G87 loks SQ tat dun las long
Driving a M german QC car wif satisfaction tats F87

Thanks for posting this test.

I think you should have swapped cars...because Jeff seemed to have better launches in the G87 (after the first race). So swapping drivers may have produced a different outcome.

I still like the look and size of the F87 more than the G87.

[michaelscurr]

I had a CS that was poor gear shifting to close to the redline.

[MrDrivingFaster]

The launch and shifting was horrible by drag race driving standards. This test proved nothing.

[Krasshirsch]

The additional HP in the G87 do not make up for its hideous looks tho. The extra weight comes probably from the cheap ebay wide body kit installed from the factory.

[tastemakesyoulonely]

Make no sense like that…too much opportunities for driver mistakes

[luigi]

I will take a 2018 BMW M2 any day over these two with a little software upgrade six speed manual, of course

[goebes]

Put someone in the M2CS who can actually drive and I think you'd find the superior car quite easily.

F87 looks so much better than that Lego box thing that BMW thought was a good idea....

[-Cold-World]

F87 is a beautiful car. No comment on the G87.

[kittyxiao]

Next time if it’s manual please do more rolls instead, great video

[hussamkuddah]

I suspect you are lacking a way to change gears

[WTF_]

Both cars are head to head. It was more of the drivers.
