If you like small cars that pack a punch the BMW M2 CS might be your next dream car. Unveiled at the 2025 Goodwood Festival of Speed this high-performance coupe isn’t just a looker – it just beat the Nürburgring record for small cars with a 7:25.5 lap. That’s 13 seconds quicker than the standard M2. It’s fast, focused and full of surprises.

Design and Visual Drama

The BMW M2 CS comes dressed for battle. You’ll see the matte black front splitter, aggressive air intakes and a carbon-fiber ducktail spoiler that’s both functional and fierce. A carbon-fiber roof, trunk lid and mirror caps help shed weight and dial up the track-ready look. Inside it’s all Merino leather, M Carbon bucket seats and just the right amount of Alcantara to feel motorsport-ready without going full race car.

Engine Power and Nürburgring Record

Under the bonnet the 3.0-liter inline 6-cylinder twin-turbo engine now produces a healthy 530 hp and 650 Nm of torque. That’s a big jump over the standard M2. Paired with an 8-speed automatic transmission it hits 0–100 km/h in 3.8 seconds. More importantly it’s quick enough to lap the Nürburgring faster than any other small car before it.

Handling and Ride Feel

The thrill doesn’t stop at straight-line speed – the M2 CS feels razor-sharp through corners too. With a lighter chassis (down by about 30 kg) and an M-specific suspension setup it grips and corners like it’s stuck to the track. Braking, shifting and steering feel honed for fast laps yet it’s still civil enough for weekend joyrides.

Track-Focused Cabin Features

Despite the performance edge the M2 CS keeps a layer of comfort. You get dual-zone climate control, a Harman Kardon sound system and a cockpit built for the thrill. Carbon fiber flourishes, a flat-bottom Alcantara steering wheel and race-derived displays round off the feel-good package.
