2021 BMW M2 CS

The M2 CS was BMW M's limited-production send-off for the F87 platform — roughly 2,200 units built worldwide, each fitted with the S55 engine borrowed from the M3 and M4 Competition and recalibrated to 444 bhp. This 2021 car, in blue with the optional Gold Matt M V-Spoke 763 wheels, has covered just 12,714 miles across five years — an average of around 2,500 per year that suggests careful, low-frequency use rather than daily commuting.

The spec is well-chosen. Alcantara and Dakota leather in black gives the cabin the right texture for a car at this level, while the inclusion of electric seat adjustment with driver memory and Harman Kardon audio means it can function as a serious long-distance tool without compromise. Heated front seats and a reversing camera round out the comfort side without softening what the CS is.

The CS sits meaningfully above the M2 Competition in BMW's hierarchy — stiffer suspension, uprated carbon-ceramic brake option availability, and a power output that makes 174 mph credible rather than theoretical. The DCT handles power delivery with the kind of precision that rewards committed driving. A focused, increasingly scarce driver's car from a generation of M2 that many consider the last truly analogue expression of the formula.
