The F87 M2 CS is in every sense the finishing line of the F87 generation. Launched in 2019, in production 2020-2021, with around 2,200 cars built worldwide, it sits between the M2 Competition (410 hp) and the CSL segment: 450 hp from the same S55 biturbo inline-six as the F80 M3 Competition, Adaptive M suspension with CS-specific tuning, factory M Carbon bucket seats (shared with M4 CS), carbon bonnet, carbon roof panel and gold BMW M badges instead of the regular black-red-blue scheme. Four paint colours: Hockenheim Silver Metallic, Misano Blue Metallic, Sapphire Black Metallic and Alpine White. M Carbon Ceramic Brakes was the only further-cost option. The M2 CS was delivered exclusively with the M-DCT seven-speed dual-clutch, no manual specification. For anyone seeking the ultimate F87-platform M2, this is it.
BMW M unveiled the F87 M2 CS in November 2019 as a limited top specification of the F87 M2 model line. CS stands for Club Sport, a German-language designation that BMW M uses for lighter and sportier positioned specifications, positioned between the regular Competition Package and the more extreme CSL label. The CS tradition within BMW M includes E46 M3 CS (2005, short production end), E92 M3 CRT (2011, Convertible variant), F82 M4 CS (2017-2018), and F87 M2 CS (2020-2021). The CS label represents weight-saving-oriented regular specifications with extra power and sportier chassis settings.
The central technical point of the M2 CS is the biturbo 3.0-litre S55 inline-six engine. The S55 is shared with the F80 M3 Competition Package and F82 M4 Competition Package (410 hp), but further developed for the CS with increased boost pressure and CS-specific software mapping. The result: 450 hp and 550 Nm of torque. The acceleration from 0-100 km/h is 4.0 seconds; the top speed is limited to 280 km/h (unlocked via M Driver's Package). The S55 shares much hardware with the M3/M4 but is in the M2 CS further tuned for the more compact wheelbase.
The CS label means for the M2 CS weight saving via Carbon. The package includes carbon bonnet with Power-dome, carbon roof panel, carbon interior panels (door panels, centre tunnel), carbon mirror caps, and carbon rear diffuser. Additionally lighter M Carbon bucket seats (shared with M4 CS) and stripped interior without rear seat armrest. Total weight saving compared to the M2 Competition is around 30 kilograms. For collectors carbon elements in factory original condition (no bubbles, no cracks) are essential.
Total production of the F87 M2 CS was around 2,200 cars worldwide, produced in 2020 and 2021. The market allocation was: Europe around 850 cars, US around 700 cars, United Kingdom around 200 cars, rest of world around 450 cars. The colour distribution was similarly distributed across Hockenheim Silver Metallic, Misano Blue Metallic, Sapphire Black Metallic, and Alpine White. For collectors confirmation of market version via BMW Group Classic is essential to confirm original specification and production batch.
Since the production stop in 2021 the M2 CS has seen a strong appreciation curve. At launch the M2 CS cost around 95,000 euros new; since 2023 well-documented examples have traded consistently above original new price, with Hockenheim Silver and Misano Blue examples in the highest price tier. The collector class position of the M2 CS is strengthened by: scarce production (2,200 cars), S55 engine at 450 hp, CS equipment, and position as last F87 M2 specification before the G87 transition. For sellers this means a well-documented M2 CS with proven service history at BMW M Classic or recognised M specialist, original original specification, and BMW Group Classic certification attracts strong international interest.
The F87 M2 CS was built in 2020 and 2021 with a production of around 2,200 cars worldwide. For collectors confirmation of model year, market version (Europe, US, United Kingdom, Asian markets), and production batch via factory chassis number is essential. Request BMW Group Classic certification in Munich.
The M2 CS is available in four colours: Hockenheim Silver Metallic (the signature CS colour, generally highly valued), Misano Blue Metallic (BMW M blue), Sapphire Black Metallic, and Alpine White. For collectors Hockenheim Silver and Misano Blue are generally the most sought-after specifications and higher priced.
The M2 CS has biturbo 3.0-litre S55 inline-six (shared with F80 M3 Competition and F82 M4 Competition, further developed for the CS) with 450 hp and 550 Nm. For collectors, turbo condition, head gasket status, walnut blasting history, and charge pipes condition are essential. Document diagnostic report from BMW M Classic or recognised M specialist.
The F87 M2 CS is available only with M-DCT seven-speed dual-clutch gearbox; there is no manual version. For collectors who specifically seek a manual specification, the F87 M2 Competition (2018-2021) is the only option. Document M-DCT mechatronics service and transmission oil history.
The M2 CS has carbon bonnet (with Power-dome), carbon roof panel, carbon interior panels, carbon mirror caps, and carbon rear diffuser. For collectors, carbon elements in factory original condition (no bubbles, no cracks) are strongly value-driving.
The M2 CS has M Carbon bucket seats (shared with M4 CS) with carbon shell, Merino leather with M tricolor contrast stitching, and Alcantara elements. For collectors, factory original bucket seats in original specification with Alcantara in good condition are essential.
For M2 CS collectors low mileage (under 20,000 for 2020 model year, under 15,000 for 2021 model year) is substantially value-driving. Full service history at BMW M Classic or recognised M specialist with invoices, walnut blasting history (every 60,000-80,000 km for S55), M-DCT mechatronics service, and M Carbon-ceramic brakes status (if option).
Note: These factors may influence buyer interest. Value depends on many factors.
The M2 CS chassis number and type plate. Specific production batch (of 2,200 cars worldwide), model year (2020 or 2021), market version (Europe, US, United Kingdom, Asian markets), and CS-specific equipment details. Request BMW Group Classic certification in Munich.
For M2 CS BMW Group Classic certification is substantially value-adding. Apply via BMW Group Classic in Munich via form.

The biturbo S55 with direct injection has known points of attention with carbon build-up on valves (walnut blasting needed every 60,000-80,000 km) and charge pipes. Document walnut blasting history and diagnostics on charge pipes with invoices from BMW M Classic or recognised M specialist.
The M2 CS has carbon bonnet, carbon roof panel, carbon interior panels, carbon mirror caps, and carbon rear diffuser. Document carbon condition (no bubbles, no cracks) with chronological photos. For collectors factory original carbon elements are essential.
