“The standard M2 is already an absolute animal. So naturally, the engineers at BMW’s M Division looked at it and decided it really needed a sharper edge, more carbon fiber, and a tailored smoking jacket.” – still not Jeremy Clarkson, probably

The result is this M2 CS, finished in the mesmerizing Velvet Blue Metallic. This BMW Individual paintwork is sophisticated and undeniably elegant, which is hilariously at odds with the sheer violence the car is capable of inflicting on any given stretch of tarmac.

Drop into the hardcore M Carbon Bucket Seats and hit the ignition button. The factory-tuned S58 inline-six wakes up with a sharper, more frantic motorsport-derived bark. Up front, you can switch the BayOptiks DRLs to a menacing yellow for maximum visual drama.

As you floor the throttle and rip through the gears using the custom Velvet Blue PaddleShifterz, the CS-exclusive M Driver’s Package obliterates the standard electronic limiter, unlocking an outrageous top speed of 305 km/h. At those speeds, the Carbon Fiber Ducktail is no longer just a visual statement, but a vital piece of aero keeping the rear tires pressed to the road.

Quite simply put, the M2 CS is a velvet-wrapped sledgehammer.
