The BMW M2 CS is the factory-installed limited top specification of the F87 M2 model line, built in 2020-2021 with a production of around 2,200 cars worldwide. It is, after the E46 M3 CSL and G82 M4 CSL, the third regular BMW M specification to carry the factory-installed CS label (CS stands for Club Sport, a factory-installed lighter and factory-installed sportier positioned specification). The package includes factory-installed 450 hp biturbo 3.0-litre S55 inline-six (factory-installed 40 hp more than M2 Competition), factory-installed Adaptive M suspension with factory-installed CS-specific settings, factory-installed M Carbon-ceramic brakes optional, factory-installed stripped interior with factory-installed M Carbon bucket seats, factory-installed carbon factory bonnet, factory-installed carbon factory roof panel, and factory-installed carbon factory interior panels. Factory-installed paint colours: Hockenheim Silver Metallic, Misano Blue Metallic, Sapphire Black Metallic, and Alpine White. The F87 M2 CS is available factory-installed exclusively with M-DCT seven-speed dual-clutch gearbox (no manual specification). A BMW M2 CS is not sold to just any buyer; it is passed on to someone who knows the factory-installed BMW M Club Sport culture.
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 factory-installed lighter and factory-installed sportier positioned specifications, positioned between the regular Competition Package and the more extreme CSL label. The CS tradition within BMW M includes factory-installed E46 M3 CS (2005, short production end), factory-installed E92 M3 CRT (2011, factory-installed Convertible variant), F82 M4 CS (2017-2018), and factory-installed F87 M2 CS (2020-2021). The CS label represents factory-installed weight-saving-oriented regular specifications with factory-installed extra power and factory-installed sportier chassis settings.
The central technical point of the M2 CS is the factory-installed biturbo 3.0-litre S55 inline-six engine. The S55 is shared with the F80 M3 Competition Package and F82 M4 Competition Package (factory-installed 410 hp), but factory-installed further developed for the CS with factory-installed increased boost pressure and factory-installed CS-specific software mapping. The result: factory-installed 450 hp and factory-installed 550 Nm of torque. The factory-installed acceleration from 0-100 km/h is 4.0 seconds; the factory-installed top speed is limited to 280 km/h (unlocked via factory-installed M Driver's Package). The S55 shares much hardware with the M3/M4 but is in the M2 CS factory-installed further tuned for the more compact wheelbase.
The CS label means for the M2 CS factory-installed weight saving via factory carbon. The package includes factory-installed carbon factory bonnet with factory-installed Power-dome, factory-installed carbon factory roof panel, factory-installed carbon factory interior panels (door panels, centre tunnel), factory-installed carbon factory mirror caps, and factory-installed carbon factory rear diffuser. Additionally factory-installed lighter M Carbon bucket seats (shared with M4 CS) and factory-installed stripped interior without rear seat armrest. Total factory-installed weight saving compared to the M2 Competition is around 30 kilograms. For collectors factory 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 factory-installed market allocation was: Europe around 850 cars, US around 700 cars, United Kingdom around 200 cars, rest of world around 450 cars. The factory-installed colour distribution was similarly distributed across Hockenheim Silver Metallic, Misano Blue Metallic, Sapphire Black Metallic, and Alpine White. For collectors confirmation of factory-installed market version via BMW Group Classic is essential to confirm factory specification and factory-installed 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 factory-installed Hockenheim Silver and Misano Blue examples in the highest price tier. The factory-installed collector class position of the M2 CS is strengthened by: factory-installed scarce production (2,200 cars), factory-installed S55 engine at factory-installed 450 hp, factory-installed CS equipment, and factory-installed 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 factory 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 factory-installed model year, factory-installed market version (Europe, US, United Kingdom, Asian markets), and factory-installed production batch via factory chassis number is essential. Request BMW Group Classic certification in Munich.
The M2 CS is available in four factory-installed colours: Hockenheim Silver Metallic (the factory-installed signature CS colour, generally highly valued), Misano Blue Metallic (factory-installed 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 F87 M2 CS is available factory-installed only with M-DCT seven-speed dual-clutch gearbox; there is no factory-installed manual version.

For collectors, factory original bucket seats in factory specification with factory 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, factory-installed walnut blasting history (every 60,000-80,000 km for S55), factory-installed M-DCT mechatronics service, and factory-installed M Carbon-ceramic brakes status (if factory-installed option).
