Video Description

Get an exclusive look at the all-new 2026 BMW M2 CS, directly from the show floor at the Legends of the Autobahn event in California! In this video, we sit down with BMW Product Manager Nick Gerstner, who walks us through every detail of this stunning Velvet Blue M2 CS. We dive deep into the key performance upgrades that make this the most extreme M2 yet. Nick breaks down the car's heart: the S58 engine, now tuned to produce a staggering 523 horsepower. We also cover the significant 100-pound weight reduction thanks to extensive carbon fiber components, from the roof and hood to the interior. See the beautiful Velvet Blue paint, a new BMW Individual color, and get a close-up look at the signature design elements that separate the CS from the standard M2, including the aggressive new front splitter and integrated ducktail spoiler. Key details covered in the video: Engine & Performance: A detailed look at the 523 HP S58 engine and its impact on performance. Weight Reduction: How carbon fiber and other lightweight materials shaved nearly 100 lbs. Driving Dynamics: The new suspension tuning and chassis enhancements. Design: A showcase of the unique Velvet Blue Individual paint and CS-specific design features. Transmission: A discussion on the automatic-only, rear-wheel-drive configuration and what it means for the M2. This is your ultimate guide to the 2026 BMW M2 CS. If you're a fan of BMW M cars, this is a video you won't want to miss.
