BMW is expected to launch the M2 CS later this year, complete with a series of upgrades to better handle the track. The biggest change will be more power from its twin-turbo straight-six engine.
Thanks to rumors published by reliable sources on bimmer post discussion forumWe probably already know how much power the M2 CS will have. User ynguldyn, who has been leaking accurate information on the forums for years, says the M2 CS will make 525 PS, or 518 horsepower. That’s a big increase from the standard car’s 473 horsepower, but still behind bigger M models like the 523-hp M3 Competition xDrive.

The same user also claims that the M2 CS will remain rear-wheel drive. Those power figures, if accurate, would make the M2 CS the most powerful rear-wheel drive car in BMW's lineup.
While this source has been correct in the past, it is still just a rumor with no official backing. So, we advise against trusting this information.
Like other CS-branded cars from BMW, the M2 CS will also get things like a stiffer suspension, better brakes, a more modest interior, and slightly revised bodywork. We’re also expecting some special colors and some radical racing stripes on the hood, just like the M3 CS and M4 CS.
There’s no word yet on when the M2 CS will be unveiled, though a reveal is expected later this year, based on the timing of the test mule photos from last year and early this year. Pricing is still up in the air, though considering the M3 CS is about 40 percent more expensive than the regular M3 xDrive, we’d guess the M2 CS will start at around $90,000. But at this point, that’s just a guess.
