What\u2019s so impressive about the M2 CS is that it wasn\u2019t just a track monster or a road car, it was genuinely great at both. In this new video from Misha Charoudin, you get to see just how good the M2 CS is at the Nurburgring, right out of the box.<\/p>\n<p>We all know that cars like the<a href=\"https:\/\/www.bmwblog.com\/2023\/01\/20\/bmw-m4-csl-investment\/\"> M4 CSL<\/a> are going to be track monsters but, often times, those track monsters can be difficult to live with on the road. However, the M2 CS proves that can have your cake and eat it, too.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/cdn.bmwblog.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/bmw-m2-cs-review-02.jpg\"><noscript><img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-medium wp-image-390821\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.bmwblog.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/bmw-m2-cs-review-02-830x467.jpg\" alt=\"bmw m2 cs review 02 830x467\" width=\"830\" height=\"467\" srcset=\"https:\/\/cdn.bmwblog.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/bmw-m2-cs-review-02-830x467.jpg 830w, https:\/\/cdn.bmwblog.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/bmw-m2-cs-review-02-1820x1024.jpg 1820w, https:\/\/cdn.bmwblog.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/bmw-m2-cs-review-02-768x432.jpg 768w, https:\/\/cdn.bmwblog.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/bmw-m2-cs-review-02-1536x864.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/cdn.bmwblog.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/bmw-m2-cs-review-02.jpg 1920w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 830px) 100vw, 830px\" title=\"image of bmw m2 cs review 02 830x467\"\/><\/noscript><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"lazyload alignnone size-medium wp-image-390821\" 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-02-830x467.jpg\" alt=\"bmw m2 cs review 02 830x467\" width=\"830\" height=\"467\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/cdn.bmwblog.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/bmw-m2-cs-review-02-830x467.jpg 830w, https:\/\/cdn.bmwblog.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/bmw-m2-cs-review-02-1820x1024.jpg 1820w, https:\/\/cdn.bmwblog.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/bmw-m2-cs-review-02-768x432.jpg 768w, https:\/\/cdn.bmwblog.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/bmw-m2-cs-review-02-1536x864.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/cdn.bmwblog.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/bmw-m2-cs-review-02.jpg 1920w\" data-sizes=\"(max-width: 830px) 100vw, 830px\" title=\"image of bmw m2 cs review 02 830x467\"\/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>In this video, you get to see Charoudin absolutely on it, pushing the M2 CS as hard as anyone realistically should push a road car at the \u2018Ring. He buries the speedometer needle in to the right side of the gauge and keeps it there, proving just how well the M2 CS can carry speed through the Nurburgring\u2019s longer sweepers. It has so much mechanical grip from the factory that it can stay neutral and balanced through even some seriously difficult corners. The only modification this owner had was a set of Michelin Cup 2 tires, which are grippier than the PS4S tires that come from the factory.<\/p>\n<p>What\u2019s most impressive about the M2 CS, though, is that once you take it off the track, it\u2019s actually still a great road car. The M4 CSL, for instance, isn\u2019t a great road car. It\u2019s too stiff and pogos over bumps too much, breaking traction, and it just never feels settled. On track, it\u2019s brilliant but on the road, it\u2019s just too aggressive. The M2 CS, however, is incredible on the road and, as evidenced by this video, just as good on track. Which is why it\u2019s one of the very best cars BMW has ever made.<\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"UNCOMFORTABLY CLOSE with BMW M2 CS on the N\u00fcrburgring!\" width=\"500\" height=\"281\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/xTxw8qtz1Nk?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" allowfullscreen=\"\">[embedded content]<\/iframe><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>BMW\u2019s recent M cars have been a bit hit and miss over the past decade or so.
