2021 BMW M2 CS Review // The Last Great BMW M Car 

Our M car at home: BMW M235i Gran Coupe xDrive

And the intro was funny😂

"We already have an M car at home". (Base X2 with M wheels)

Same! And he just touched it...

Same

Any other car, and I would've thought he was pissing on it...😉

I did too. That’s not what you do to show off your car. My god

Me, too!

BMW: Are you challenging me????

Me: no no please dont.

Have you seen the 1 series?? Its possible :((((((

M2 CSL, L for Large Grille.

John Cena: ARE YOU SURE ABOUT THAT?!???!

This channel wont be a proper car channel without it.

Buy an OG m2 for like half the price and you have a better sounding more charismatic engine

Thomas won't be Thomas without it.

Suits the car very well.

@@Jay-tc9on also not to mention the n55 is very tunable too! Tons of aftermarket support

Yeah. I also have a sneaking suspicion the car in your sig will be looked back on more fondly than any of us think right now. It's the first really, really, for real, good performance car Hyundai have ever built. For a company that's poised to only get bigger and increase its market share, that will be historically important.

@@freedbeefpontoons totally agree there. I've always liked Hyundais offerings as of late, but this car was a total shock to everyone I think. If you want to see the N in action I have a lot of autocross and track driving footage on my channel 🙂

@@autocrosseverything Nice! I'll check it out. As someone who's not a big Hyundai person or anything, the N just kinda came out of nowhere and blindsided me. Didn't think Hyundai could do something like that (and at that price!) but they proved me wrong!

@@freedbeefpontoons for sure! At least you're open minded about it. They are putting out some genuinely excellent cars across the board, at the least here in North America. Some people don't even give them a second glance because all they think about is Hyundai of the late 80s and early 90s..

@@autocrosseverything Albert Biermann who was previously the chief BMW engineer for like 3 decades and chief M engineer for half a decade went to Hyundai/Kia in 2015. He definitely knows what he is doing!

How's the car ? Is the sound and drive as awesome as in their video ? I want one too 🙃

@@dwade3202 i take delivery next week but will circle back here and let you know! It was hard to find. There are listings out there but they are going quick and prices are ticking up a bit for nice ones. Now is probably the time to jump on it if you want one!

that's my favorite RS5 :D

Dude I literally bought my 2013 RS5 three days after that video I’m in it now parked outside my office.

@@nathanTjenkins nahh, Im broke af, Im just trying to live vicariously through you. xd

Agree 100%!! 😂😂

Glad someone else mentioned this

Com‘On Thomas your suppose to know this feature man!! 😄. BMW guy 🤔

I've seen this overlooked in a lot of the videos outside the US. Is it a US only feature? Mine has it but I'm in the US. I also noticed it is an option in Bimmercode.

They should know this, it’s a simple find.

@@remowilliams564 I have it in mine in Australia.👍

No.

@@RRSmurf :(

Thomas be the next corpse husband

I thought it stood for Black Magic Wizardry though?!

Looks like the old WRX STI blue gold combo

Misano blue is superb in person!

so good and yet not tacky

I have the m235i in similar but different blue, like my rims. Quite jealous of this color scheme. It really pops

I know it's subjective, but it's hard for me not to see a blue gold color scheme as tacky, and this is no exception. Those rims would look so much better smoked out, or any other neutral shade

STI....

@@jeffreyb.1657 And what's wrong with that?? ;D In all seriousness though, the signature STi royal blue and traditional gold color combo is also awesome, but slightly different (particularly darker/more basic). The STi colors are nostalgic and iconic, but in my humble opinion, this M2 just has the right amounts of additional brightness and lighter hues to each of the colors, making it look much more refined and upscale than the Subaru colors. The M2 as a whole package just pulls it off so well too. Just my thoughts! Let me know what you think.

And the Doug score izzzz??????????

That’s what she said!

@@saidalas7763 , who cares! He irks me and many others.

@@sachemrock you Italian?

Car guys really have the worst humour this is not funny

what's the main difference between this 2021 M2 CS and the 2019 M2 CS???

There is no 2019 or 2021 cs

@@jetwah4109 lmao

It's not little, it's perfect size. Want a car bigger than this you might as well get a bus.

@@supposedly6991 false, just buy a full size sedan

We got you bro👌

This. Something about the usage of space in Mustang/Camaros just makes me cringe. My neighbor has a Mustang and its much bigger than my 2-serires, but interior wise, its smaller. I'm just like "Do you even TETRIS ford? C'mon!"

And then BMW fucks it all up with the current 2 series 🤦

Try Doug Demuro

1. Throttlehouse 2. savagegeese 3. straightpipes

straightpipes isn't even close and is vastly overrated. It's a much-worse version of throttle house that lacks creative skits or strong production values. Throttle house manages to be a lot more mature while still having a lot of charm. SP spends way too much time on sat-nav, visor tests, and other interior details that take up more time than they should compared to everything else. Finally TH is a lot more objective when it comes to reviewing cars, whereas with SP you really get the feeling they're too afraid to go over negatives or don't care.

Id get a CS, it will be pretty cheap in the next few years, probably around 45$k

@@mineralgrey8332 that’s not cheap to me 😂

@@mineralgrey8332 Yeah but after the initial drop, it should keep value pretty well. Will be a fantastic used buy!

I think you'll have just as much fun in an M225i/M240i. I've got a manual M235i and it's all the power you need. Yes I'd have one of these but only if I had the money to buy it and also used it round a track. End of the day if you're just road driving the 0-60mph of an M235i/M240i beats most cars including the 5.0 litre Mustang at 4.7 seconds. Secondhand they're affordable too, I paid £17,000 two years ago for an M235i with 30,000 miles on the clock it's still the same price with 10,000 more miles. The M2 Cs is for really rich people, you can get almost the same power for a fraction the price with the M235i/M240i.

@@whynotagain3639 oh that’s for sure, I will be getting an M235i or M240i as soon as I can afford one. Preferably in sunset orange or estoril blue, of course manual (that’s gonna be hard to find). I don’t need more than that, and I don’t want a super stiff ride because that’s gonna be my daily. Congratulations for the great car ❤️

exclusivity

Facts

If people payed more for e30 evos and g60 GTIs 30yrs ago for a bit more omf, they can pay the same now, considering they get even more kit then back in the day.

I’m thinking about the new M2 CS coming out in 2025

What color blue is this

Yes yes yes. What a great show it will be if clarkson may and hammond will call these two for a challenge episode.

Especially the fade out at the end of the video. I was half expecting a cut to the top gear studio next.

Same in the M2 comp. I'm sure its the same basic cluster for all 3 cars.

Ohhh that’s awesome, and that’s interesting, for me at least I would’ve thought black with the gold wheels would’ve gone better than the blue did.(not saying the blue’s bad bc it isn’t)

@@patwikbacon1759 i like the blue because it would be different. I do prefer black cars. I am going to do something to protect the paint. Blue or satin black wrap not sure yet.

@@troycovington Ah I gotcha for sure, either of those would look absolutely incredible and I hope you enjoy driving it (bc from the looks of it, it looks SUPER FREAKING FUN)

How is it so far?

@@mysticalzen I do not know yet. The car is in storage until winter is over with. I guess delayed gratification.

That’s quite the delta… I sold my comp for 52 and got the CS for 85

Pretty sure it was Thomas.

My mom woulda done a post natal abortion if i looked like that, just saying

@@deathisfreedom1442 That's awful but funny.

@@BShine-ei7hn It's funny 'cause it's true... I guess?

They need a captain slow

No they don't. Why copy everything? They are perfect like this

Ivan Jovanović, agreed, they don’t need a third, but I think the occasional Jason Cammisa and Randy Pobst is cool tho

I love Top Gear and The Grand Tour, but copying isn't the answer, even if it would probably appeal to a wider audience who hate what Top Gear became after the trio left. I think a third would destroy their chemistry and antics. The best friend rivalry is amazing on this series. If they could snag an occasional RU-vidr for a third on drag competitions would be nice for cross promotion, but that's about it. Just my opinion. Not in total disagreement.

If it gets stale... If.... Then change it up... But now? Hell no. Unless they invite me. Then obviously yes. I'm in.

If you count inflation the 2001 base model M3 would start at $69,000 and the CS would be $83,000 today. The problem is everything has gotten so expensive yet our incomes have not risen at that same rate.

The M2 and M2C are cheaper. This would be essentially like the M3 CSL which was NOT cheap

It will depreciate hard

Then buy it :)

@@evano8312 it hasn’t depreciated lol

Yea it’s not worth $90k used imo when you can get a used g82 M4 comp for the same price. I’d rather just get a M2 comp for 50-60k

Naaah, they’ll come up with another limited numbers version at some point in the future and repeat it..and repeated..

@@marekskoczylas5891 facts

It will drop from day 1 through year 4. Afterwards it will level out. By year 7 it will start to appreciate in relative value as electric takes over completely and people reminisce over classic ICE sportscars...

There’s another M2 on the way. It might jump in 10-15 years.

@@Juganator True, but it wont rev like this engine. The S58 has a lower redline since it has to be mated to torque converter autos in some applications (S55 only ever got mated to DCT and M/T gearboxes.) Traditional torque converter autos are fine, but they do have trouble dealing with lots of revs. I think that means a slightly less 'frantic' character and the reason people love these cars has more to do with character than all out speed. But that's also a lot of speculation on my part. The next M2 could come out and be absolutely awesome and FULL of character and blow this out of the water. Then prices on these would tank. But if its more boring or has the new M3/M4 grille, expect these to maintain value very well.

I have the "lowly" 230i xDrive 8AT and can certainly agree with all their comments about the interior.....while lacking M2CS performance, the 230's turbo 4 has all the power I can ever use...unless of course, I do some autox again...or attend a track event...
