THE M2 CS RacingThe perfect entry into racing with BMW M

Made for winners: with the new BMW M2 CS Racing, motorsport is more exciting than ever. Impressive driving performance and state-of-the-art racing technology, combined with the decades of experience of BMW M Motorsport, make the M2 CS Racing a thoroughbred racing car in a class of its own. This is no coincidence: using the perfect base of the BMW M2 CS (fuel consumption in l/100km combined: 10.4-9.6; CO2 emissions in g/km combined: 238-219) and working in close collaboration with BMW M GmbH colleagues, BMW Motorsport engineers used many of the insights from the development of the BMW M4 GT4 to set totally new standards in the entry-level class with its little brother, the BMW M2 CS Racing.

BUILT FOR THE TOUGHEST CONDITIONS.

The BMW M2 CS Racing has an intensive period of testing behind it. After initial outings at Miramas in France and Portimão in Portugal came the first appearance under race conditions at the fifth round of the VLN Endurance Championship Nürburgring. At the Nürburgring-Nordschleife, the most demanding racetrack in the world, BMW Motorsport Junior Beitske Visser (NED) and Jörg Weidinger (GER), test and development engineer at BMW M GmbH and a very successful participant in the BMW Sports Trophy over many years, completed the first endurance test and provided the engineers with valuable insights under race conditions. Further outings at the 'Green Hell' came in the seventh and ninth round of the VLN.
