In the first owner\u2019s defense, they did actually drive it a bit, putting 7,900 miles on it in roughly two years. When it was new, the M2 CS had a starting price of $83,600, so selling it for $100,000 after two years must have felt pretty good.<\/p>\n<p>BMW\u2019s two most recent CS models\u2013the M2 CS and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.bmwblog.com\/2022\/05\/19\/bmw-m5-cs-video-review\/\">M5 CS<\/a>\u2013are among the best it\u2019s ever made and certainly the best it\u2019s made in a long time. I was fortunate enough to spend quality time in both limited-run, ultra-exclusive cars and both quickly became my favorite modern BMWs (surprisingly, the M5 CS is my favorite). The BMW M2 CS is easily the most driver-focused, engaging sports car the brand has made since the E92 M3 GTS and it might even be better.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/cdn.bmwblog.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/bmw-m2-cs-review-22.jpg\"><noscript><img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-medium wp-image-390841\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.bmwblog.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/bmw-m2-cs-review-22-830x467.jpg\" alt=\"bmw m2 cs review 22 830x467\" width=\"830\" height=\"467\" srcset=\"https:\/\/cdn.bmwblog.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/bmw-m2-cs-review-22-830x467.jpg 830w, https:\/\/cdn.bmwblog.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/bmw-m2-cs-review-22-1820x1024.jpg 1820w, https:\/\/cdn.bmwblog.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/bmw-m2-cs-review-22-768x432.jpg 768w, https:\/\/cdn.bmwblog.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/bmw-m2-cs-review-22-1536x864.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/cdn.bmwblog.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/bmw-m2-cs-review-22.jpg 1920w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 830px) 100vw, 830px\" title=\"image of bmw m2 cs review 22 830x467\"\/><\/noscript><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"lazyload alignnone size-medium wp-image-390841\" src=\"data:image\/svg+xml,%3Csvg%20xmlns=%22http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg%22%20viewBox=%220%200%20830%20467%22%3E%3C\/svg%3E\" data-src=\"https:\/\/cdn.bmwblog.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/bmw-m2-cs-review-22-830x467.jpg\" alt=\"bmw m2 cs review 22 830x467\" width=\"830\" height=\"467\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/cdn.bmwblog.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/bmw-m2-cs-review-22-830x467.jpg 830w, https:\/\/cdn.bmwblog.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/bmw-m2-cs-review-22-1820x1024.jpg 1820w, https:\/\/cdn.bmwblog.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/bmw-m2-cs-review-22-768x432.jpg 768w, https:\/\/cdn.bmwblog.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/bmw-m2-cs-review-22-1536x864.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/cdn.bmwblog.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/bmw-m2-cs-review-22.jpg 1920w\" data-sizes=\"(max-width: 830px) 100vw, 830px\" title=\"image of bmw m2 cs review 22 830x467\"\/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>The 2020 BMW M2 CS in question wears Hockenheim Silver paint, with the sole black interior option, gold wheels, and\u2013crucially\u2013has a six-speed manual transmission. The latter of which is important, as it really unlocks the character of the car. The BMW M2 CS is one of the last pure sports cars BMW M will ever make. Yes, there will be another M2, and it will likely get a CS version, but there\u2019s no guarantee it drives as brilliantly as its predecessor.<\/p>\n<p>I remember when the M2 CS was new and people scoffed at its price tag, claiming it to be bad value. I was personally skeptical of its price tag as well, despite loving the car. That feels stupid now, doesn\u2019t it?<\/p>\n<p>[Source: <a href=\"https:\/\/carsandbids.com\/auctions\/35Paealk\/2020-bmw-m2-cs\">Cars and Bids<\/a>]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I have to admit, I hate car flippers\u2013people who buy ultra-exclusive cars with the sole intent of flipping them for profit in a year or two.
