BMW M2 CS MEETS THE COMPETITION!! 

That m2 competition in San Marino blue is a thing of beauty.

Man that M2 Competition in SMB looks insane. Topped of with the M Performance parts, just beautiful...

Great video! I do own a manual 2020 M2C and have done a few upgrades. Carbon fiber (spoiler/diffuser front lip) Charge pipes, Down pipes and exhaust. BM3 stage 2. Tires This car definitely makes you want to drive it every day and with the increase in power feels completely different!!!

Mark, the CSL is my favourite car of the last 20 years. That noise. 💙

The upgrades on the M2c really help make the car feel , look and sound a lot more special !

Great Reivew. M2 CS is a great little machine but as a CSL owner, my heart goes for Naturally aspirated all the time ;)

It's about time someone did this. Glad it was you, Mark! And happy Hanukkah!

You failed to miss the fact the original M2 LCI was the best sounding of the lot and the purest of the M2 range, also no significant loss of performance again the comp or CS and better value for money!!

M2 Comp is the best BMW in terms of Value and Driving 👌🏼

M2CS vs M2Competition trying to be a CS

763M wheels Cup 2 Tires CF front splitter CF rear diffuser CF side winglets CF mirrors CF roof CF CS hood If you have a stock M2C and add all of the above, you'd probably get up there in cost pretty quickly and you still wouldn't have all the alcantara interior trim, the adaptive suspension, the extra 40HP, or the "rareness" or slower depreciation of the CS. So if you're someone who actually likes all the extra carbon bits and mods, the CS is probably good value. If you are content with a stock M2C and don't care for all the other bells and whistles then M2C is the value play by a mile. Really depends.

For me, the suspension upgrade in the M2 CS wouldn’t matter, because no matter whatever version of M2 I would get, the suspension would immediately be swapped out for Ohlin’s coilovers. So the M2 CS, for me, is just not worth it.

My favorite of the 3 is the M2 Competition. It's the only new BMW product I like right now.

people who like cars and they havent subscribed this channel are living under the stone

It gives me anxiety seeing cars parked that close together. Great video and thanks for the review, @888MF!

I think I'd change my M4 for an M2c. Such a good looking car. Love the look of M4 too, but the M2c is smaller (perfect size imo) and the same great engine.

Nice ! Love the m2c myself (as I own one )

I Love the Competition with M Performance Parts

That CSL is all the car I want/need

I reckon the M2 CS will command a higher re-sale value over time due to the fact that it’s limited in numbers.

That parking at 13:17 reminds me of the time I took the CSL on the school run... the mums all park like that - bumper-to-bumper then no other cars ANYWHERE in sight.

FYI its "coupe sport lightweight" club sport is a VW group reference 😊

M3 CSL prices set to soar.

Never had the chance to drive the CSL, as my father sold it before I was 18... well done dad, now its collector...

That m2c look sick!!

CS is the Best!!! Competition value will drop like any other run of the mill car.

Great video... always love seeing the e46 csl ... best m3 of all time imo

the dark blue on the M2 comp.. holy moly!!

Agree with you Mark, I’d get the comp and upgrade

A fair summary I reckon. M2 Competition with trick dampers and some chassis set up work would dynamically take it to the CS. The CS extra power won’t be noticed on the road. The CSL noise is one of the great soundtracks.

Really nice comparison. Thank you!

I’ve got a 2018 M2C completely stock. Love the car, but it’s almost too fast for Australian roads in my experience. Hoping it’s a collector’s item in the future 😎

You say the CS is better than "the standard M2 Competition" but you didn't compare the CS against the standard car M2 Comp. The extra 40 hp that the CS has in addition to it being at least a passenger's weight lighter is a lot of extra power... but your M2 Comp test car with a performance exhaust and airbox mod probably has an extra 25-40 hp, maybe more. So of course it doesn't feel like the CS has much more performance than a modified Comp. The same mods to the CS can push it's output to around 500hp and you'd definitely notice that! You're also neglecting to take into account the huge difference in unsprung weight. The CS has considerably lighter wheels plus 55lbs less in lighter brakes that also stop the car faster. The suspension can react much more quickly with that reduction in unsprung weight. Those changes also yield a big reduction in rotating mass making for quicker acceleration and deceleration. A much lighter carbon roof and carbon hood lower the center of gravity further improving acceleration and handling. And the vents in the hood reduce up-force from air pressure buildup under the unvented bonnet (for you Englishmen) as well as bleeding off heat that is destructive to turbo charged engines.

My three favourite 'achievable' dream cars.

Traded my Porsche Caymen S for a M2C and have NOT looked back for a second. Both amazing cars of course but the BMW is so much fun and so enjoyable - which to take on a 4 hr drive to the mountains of coast - hands down the M2C.

I think the original M2 looked the best. It looked like a special project car and had the right amount of bits to stand out. In the years since, they have added little visual tweaks, different mirrors, grill and such but the original model still stands out.

Now this is great content, definitely got a new subscriber

This channel is so underrated! People say my channel is underrated too but one day I’ll get there! 🤞 Your fellow RU-vidrs, TheCarKids

Awesome content!!! Love the M2 stuff

I had a new f80 m3 with a full remus exhaust with carbon tips and a Litchfield tune, car sounded amazing

The sound from the e46 M3 is just sooo sweet!! My personal favourite together with the V10 of the M5 e60 and the M6 of that same generation.

This channel is definitely underrated

Fantastic video and great honest review...😎 For some reason I now want a CS to replace my modded comp lol

Thanks Mark.. Cool vid! What I'd give to drive those!! 😍

Give me the M2 comp 🔥 that car is soooo 🔥

San Marino is the BMW blue of choice! Cor blimey its delightful!

M2CS❤️

A nice comparison. Imagine an M3 CSL with a manual gearbox.

Great video Mark, enjoyed this one.

nice video! I can't believe your prices, last month I payed 58.000 u$ for a brand new m240i 2021 here in Argentina, oh and here we don't have m2 competition or CS :(

I have an M2 Comp and it’s quite surprising how mainly, only true enthusiasts know about these cars in Australia. The BMWs, AMGs, Porsche are works of engineering art full stop therefore and unfortunately, very expensive at $126,000 on the road for my M2 Comp including government taxes and options.

Awesome Video , keep up the good work ✅

Excellent!

M2/M3 seem to cost too much for what you get. Standard M2 comp is very capable and can easily be modded for a few £K

Love the understated classic look ot the CSL

The only car I should've kept is the M3CSL, had a black 1, it was mega. However the M2 Comp looks wicked, Just wondered if it had front end lift as it looks like it'll catch the dreaded Speed Humps nowadays.

I want a M2 CS with the CSL engine and a manual.

No. The M2CS is worth it.

What are your thoughts on the M2 comp vs the M4?

The claim the M2 CS have sold out is not true worldwide. Two reasons: 1) the 718 Cayman GTS 4.0 and GT4 made some people cancel their CS orders; 2) the pandemic. M2 CS peoduction is happening and there are cars available. Dealers are buying unallocated ones to claim fully sold and then sell at max price.

I wish you would have a manual transmission car in this video.😁

You can buy the first M2 edition for 35k€ in Germany, buy/install performance parts for 10k€ or 15k€, and make a magnificent car under 50k€.. what do u think guys??

How does the M2cs compare to the Porsche gt4 since they cost close to the same?

The CS looks like a rally car with all that wheel gap

Hi, what front lip is that on the M2 Competition ? Cheers.

Love video and cars!!!🔥🔥🔥 i would like the same carbon hood as your m2c. where did you get it?

Some cheap M2Cs in white near me. Tempting to buy and re paint in that blue. Looks AMAZING. what is the colour?

E46 CSL is the best BMW. Even the E46 325 SMG is a fun Car. What about the Xmas Special.

Need the 6mt on the M2CS

Bmw didn't wanna put recaro seats in the CS because they want a all round car if u put recaro seats in there won't be comfortable in long drives not everyone buys the car for track use

looks like a great subaru!

the gts hood looks much better then the cs hood

765 LT 🆚 911 Turbo S Drag Race 🏁

How is the steering on the M2 competition? Which of these is the best daily driver? Cheers

So buy a M2 comp and spend £17k on some hardcore upgrades . Perfect motor…. Still save money over CS price.

On the San Marino paint on the M2 Comp, that was changed by the Owner rather than some one of a kind “Individual” option through BMW????

Bmw 1m is the best

Awesome video anyone know the intro song??

Only problem with M2; Corvette at less cost.

..it also has a carbon fiber hood...bonnet 😎

Good Luck replacing the gearbox actuactors when they fail

❤❤❤❤

‘However’

Taken a little out of context, as the price of the modifications as seen on that Competition is much higher than he mentions. Easily in CS territory!

🔥🔥

Mark, How does the CS compare to the Cayman GTS 4.0 ??

Hi bud! Can you plz tell me the name of the music that hits in the beginning of the video? Thanx in advance 👌🙏

Well the m3 csl shits on those 2 cars back and forth. No competetion. Csl is more special in every possible waY

Wow what wheels are on that m2comp?

I own a M2 og and I’m surprised that you didn’t find that car fun to drive.

Which is quicker svj or pista in drag?

Am I mistaken or did they show 18 prices not 19 or 20 I see them like 50k + not 40

drag race ????? come on

nice

There should be a 1M between the csl and m2 comp. Be no m2 if not for that one.

German Cars 🥰

Buen video. Me gustan las diferencias de un modelo a otro... pero en precio ya no se si vale la pena el caro o no. Igualmente prefiero Porsche

i think u said the cs costs 85k but the title says 75k

Is that a SM blue wrap?

Such a shame bmw did not wrap the dash and doors in nappa leather and alcantara for the cs since it costs alot
