With its ravenous inline-six engine, finely tuned chassis, and unmistakable compact, two-door attitude, the current G87-generation BMW M2 is still one of the best modern performance cars out there. It’s certainly one of our favorites.
For 2026, BMW introduces the M2 CS, bringing a host of chassis and engine refinements, reduced weight, and generous use of carbon fiber. The question is whether this combination of hardware and software enhancements is enough to justify its nearly $100,000 price tag—about $32,000 more than the base M2.
After a full day of spirited driving—both on the track and on the street—the new M2 CS certainly makes a strong case for itself.
