BMW M2 CS Coming to Australia in 2025
BMW Australia has confirmed the all-new BMW M2 CS will arrive locally in late 2025, adding serious performance and exclusivity to the M2 line-up. Following recent CS models like the M3 CS and M4 CS, this new variant is lighter, faster, and more track-focused than the standard M2.
Key Highlights:
More Power: The M2 CS features an upgraded 3.0L twin-turbo inline-6 producing 390kW and 650Nm, matching the M3/M4 Competition xDrive figures and outpacing the standard M2 by 37kW and 50Nm.
Faster: 0–100km/h in 3.8 seconds, with a top speed of 302km/h thanks to the standard M Driver’s Package.
Lighter: 30kg weight reduction via carbon-fibre-reinforced plastic (CFRP) components and forged wheels.
Track-Tuned: Adaptive M suspension, bespoke chassis tuning, lowered ride height, M Sport differential, and optional $19,000 M Carbon Ceramic Brakes.
Distinctive Design: Carbon roof, ducktail spoiler, carbon centre console, CS-specific trim and badging, plus exclusive 19"/20" forged wheels in Gold Bronze.
Interior & Tech: Heated M Carbon bucket seats, Alcantara steering wheel, illuminated CS badging, BMW Curved Display with iDrive 8.5, wireless charging, Harman Kardon audio, and M Drift Analyser.
Safety & Assistance: Includes front collision warning, lane departure warning, speed limit info, and Parking Assistant with Reversing Assistant.
Built in Mexico at BMW Group Plant San Luis Potosí.
A Sharper, Lighter, Louder M2
The CS badge on any BMW M car brings with it an expectation of enhanced performance—and the M2 CS doesn’t disappoint. With a 30kg drop in weight, thanks to the use of CFRP body panels and interior trim, plus lightweight forged wheels, this special edition is sharper in every direction. It's also the first of the second-gen M2s to drop below the 4-second mark in the sprint to 100km/h, stopping the clock at just 3.8 seconds.
Pair this with the 390kW straight-six, shared with the M3/M4 Competition, and the M2 CS becomes the most potent version of the compact M platform yet. Power is delivered exclusively to the rear wheels via the 8-speed M Steptronic transmission with Drivelogic, giving drivers full control of how aggressively or smoothly shifts are handled.
Built for the Track, Enjoyed on the Street
BMW has tuned the adaptive M chassis, springs, dampers, and stability control systems specifically for the CS model. The suspension has been lowered by 8mm, while the M Sport differential and integrated braking system have been refined for sharper cornering response and more precise control at the limit.
While M Compound brakes come standard, track-focused buyers can spec M Carbon Ceramic Brakes for an additional $19,000—a serious bit of kit for serious drivers. And if you're into telemetry, BMW’s M Drift Analyser and 10-stage M Traction Control let you dial in your setup or study your hot laps down to the degree.
CS Style Inside and Out
Visually, the M2 CS stands out with matte black accents, carbon fibre trim, and its signature ducktail spoiler integrated into the CFRP boot lid. Paint options include several bold no-cost choices, including BMW Individual Velvet Blue Metallic, exclusive to this market.
Inside, it’s all Alcantara, Merino leather, carbon, and motorsport inspiration. The heated M Carbon bucket seats feature removable headrests for track harnesses, while the M Alcantara steering wheel comes complete with red stitching and customisable M buttons. Even the door panels feature illuminated CS badging for that added drama every time you hop in.
