The 2020 BMW M2 CS is a limited-edition, high-performance coupe, described as a sharper, more refined version of the M2 Competition. Reviewers and enthusiasts widely regard it as one of the "Last Great BMW M Cars," praising its brilliant handling, powerful twin-turbo inline-six engine (444 hp or 450 PS), and track-ready capabilities combined with daily usability. It's famous for living up to its "Competition Sport" abbreviation and for its extensive use of carbon fiber. With its excellent balance of road manners and track prowess, the M2 CS is well suited for the performance enthusiast looking for a dual-purpose car that excels both as a precise sports car and a viable daily driver.
The 2020 BMW M2 CS requires premium fuel and expensive synthetic oil changes. High-performance tires wear quickly and cost $1,200+ per set. Brake pads/rotors need frequent replacement due to aggressive driving use. Insurance rates are steep due to high-performance classification. However, the S55 engine is generally reliable with proper maintenance, contrary to concerns about BMW reliability.
