What’s left to say about the BMW M2 CS? Ever since its introduction, it already received numerous praises from many different reviews. It actually makes me jealous as I haven’t been able to drive one myself at least once. Although, I still hope for that day to come that I get to sit behind its wheels. For now, yet another review came up and directly called the M2 CS the “Last Great BMW M Car”.
As the BMW M2 CS adopts the oldest platform in the BMW range, this characteristic makes the car more distinct among its segment present in the market today. While the M2 CS prepares for replacement and an upgrade version soon, it remains indispensable with the kind of analogue feel it offers. And even if new models start to appear in its place, those models will most likely be lost too. I understand that entering the technologically advanced world, people ask for more tech, more digitalization, and features but to be really honest, old school is still the best school when it comes to having fun.
M2 CS manages to perfectly sit in the middle. Given the modern-day applications inside, it’s still decently modern, and it doesn’t even use eons-old technologies. The car’s iDrive system that is probably a year or two old still works flawlessly. It may have an analogue instrument cluster but it perfectly suits the system. Its engine comes as one of the oldest in the range, but still does a superb job. Furthermore, the equipped inline 6ix and finely-tuned chassis makes the M2 CS a rare gem.
Overall, M2 CS is the E46 M3 of the modern era – many people will agree on that. Both cars resemble the same size and feel. Moving forward to other automotive developments, this analogue feel will shortly be gone, including the fitted manual gearbox. Among many other things, M2 CS remains one of the best, which may very well be the last great BMW M car.
