2026 BMW M2 CS breaks cover, produces over 520 bhp and 640 Nm of torque. Check details
BMW has tuned every performance system in the M2 CS to enhance control, precision, and driver engagement. Check Offers
The 2026 BMW M2 CS has been launched globally as a performance-focused version of its compact M car lineup. Slated to enter production in August at the brand's San Luis Potosi facility in Mexico, this latest CS badge model is said to be a no-compromise, rear-wheel-drive machine aimed squarely at enthusiasts.
With more power, aggressive weight-cutting measures, and refined performance hardware, the new M2 CS positions itself as the most exhilarating iteration of the M2 to date. 2026 BMW M2 CS: Design
A key hallmark of the CS badge is a diet focused on reducing mass without sacrificing structure, and the 2026 M2 CS delivers on that with numerous carbon-fiber elements. Key highlights include a unique ducktail rear spoiler, which is built into a carbon-fiber trunk lid, along with light alloy forged wheels and feral-looking styling that announces its track credentials.

The carbon motif follows into the interior, where BMW has fitted race-inspired carbon bucket seats as standard fare. The overall curb weight stands at 3,770 pounds—lighter than even the manual version of the regular M2. 2026 BMW M2 CS: Chassis
BMW has tuned every performance of the M2 CS to enhance control, precision, and driver engagement. The chassis gets stiffer springs and recalibrated adaptive dampers to ensure sharper handling characteristics. BMW M engineers have also fine-tuned the electronically controlled limited-slip differential, traction and stability control systems, and ABS for more consistent high-speed behavior.
In keeping with CS tradition, the vehicle is offered exclusively with BMW's eight-speed automatic gearbox—there's no manual option here—but what it lacks in a stick shift, it makes up for with razor-sharp shifts and responsiveness.

For those seeking maximum performance, BMW offers optional carbon-ceramic brakes for an additional cost, further reducing unsprung weight and improving braking endurance. 2026 BMW M2 CS: Specifications
At the heart of the M2 CS lies a heavily tuned version of BMW's 3.0-liter twin-turbo inline-six engine. It delivers a robust 523 bhp and 649 Nm of torque—substantial gains over the standard M2's output. This power boost allows the M2 CS to sprint from 0 to 100 kmph in just 3.7 seconds and reach a top speed of 188 mph, making it one of the fastest two-door BMWs available.

Australia's CPI steady at 2.4% in Apr; rebates mask true power prices
Australia's Consumer Price Index (CPI) rose 2.4 per cent in the 12 months to April 2025, maintaining the same annual pace for the third consecutive month, according to the Australian Bureau of Statistics (ABS). The annual trimmed mean inflation—which excludes extreme price changes—rose slightly to 2.8 per cent in April, up from 2.7 per cent in March, marking relative stability over the past five months, according to the latest data from ABS. Australia's CPI rose 2.4 per cent annually to April 2025, unchanged for three months, as per ABS data. Underlying inflation indicatorsâ€'trimmed mean and CPI excluding volatile itemsâ€'both rose 2.8 per cent. Housing inflation increased to 2.2 per cent, while new dwelling prices saw modest growth. Electricity prices fell 6.5 per cent due to rebates, and automotive fuel prices dropped 12 per cent annually. Another core measure, the CPI excluding volatile items and holiday travel, also recorded a 2.8 per cent rise in April, compared to 2.6 per cent in March. This indicator excludes items such as automotive fuel, fruit and vegetables, and holiday travel and accommodation. Housing inflation rose to 2.2 per cent in April from 1.8 per cent in March. Prices of new dwellings edged up by 1.2 per cent year-on-year (YoY), slightly higher than the 1 per cent increase recorded in March. This marked the second-lowest annual increase since April 2021, largely due to builders offering discounts and promotional deals. Electricity prices fell 6.5 per cent in the 12 months to April, compared to a 9.6 per cent fall in the 12 months to March. 'Electricity rebates lower the price of electricity for households. In Queensland, most households have now used up the Queensland Government's one-off electricity rebate of $1,000. All Western Australian households have used up the second instalment of both the state government and Commonwealth Energy Bill Relief Fund rebates,' said Michelle Marquardt, ABS head of prices statistics. 'Without rebates, electricity prices would have risen 1.5 per cent in the 12 months to April.' Automotive fuel prices saw a sharp annual decline of 12 per cent in April, following a 7.6 per cent drop in March. On a monthly basis, fuel prices were down 2.6 per cent in April.
