BMW M2 CS Launched in India at ₹1.66 Cr: 530 HP Engine, Specs, Top Speed & Features

BMW M2 CS has officially been launched in India, marking the arrival of the most powerful and track-focused version of the compact M car yet. Introduced as a Completely Built-Up (CBU) unit, this high-performance coupe will be available in limited numbers, making it an exclusive offering for enthusiasts.

Priced at ₹1.66 crore (ex-showroom), the new M2 CS brings race-inspired engineering, aggressive styling, and record-breaking performance to the Indian market.

Powerful Engine and Performance

At the core of the BMW M2 CS lies an upgraded 3.0-litre, six-cylinder S58 engine with M TwinPower Turbo technology.

This engine produces an impressive 530 hp and 650 Nm of peak torque, making it 50 hp more powerful than the standard M2.

Power is delivered to the rear wheels through an 8-speed M Steptronic automatic transmission, allowing the coupe to sprint from 0 to 100 kmph in just 3.8 seconds.

It also boasts a top speed of 302 kmph, placing it among the fastest cars in its segment.

Nürburgring Record Performance

The BMW M2 CS has set a remarkable benchmark at the legendary Nürburgring Nordschleife.

It completed the 20.8 km circuit in just 7 minutes and 25.5 seconds, making it the fastest compact car to lap the “Green Hell.”

This achievement beats the previous record by eight seconds, highlighting its track-focused engineering.

Lightweight Construction and Enhanced Dynamics

BMW has focused heavily on weight reduction to improve performance and handling.

The M2 CS is 30 kg lighter than the standard model, thanks to the extensive use of carbon-fibre-reinforced plastic (CFRP) in components such as the roof, boot lid, and diffuser.

The chassis has been lowered by 8 mm and retuned for sharper handling, while optimized stability control systems enhance its track capability and driving precision.

Aggressive Exterior Design

The BMW M2 CS features a bold and aggressive design that reflects its motorsport DNA.

It comes with a unique CS-specific kidney grille, a ducktail rear spoiler, and gold bronze forged alloy wheels.

The coupe rides on 19-inch wheels at the front and 20-inch wheels at the rear, while a quad exhaust setup and carbon elements further amplify its sporty appeal.

Buyers can choose from striking colour options like Brooklyn Grey, Portimao Blue, Black Sapphire, and BMW Individual Velvet Blue.

Premium and Sporty Interior

Inside the cabin, the M2 CS blends luxury with performance-focused elements.

It features lightweight M Carbon bucket seats, Alcantara surfaces, Merino leather upholstery, and a carbon-fibre centre console.

The interior is designed to deliver both comfort and a race-inspired driving experience.

Technology and Features

The coupe comes equipped with BMW Operating System 8.5, a head-up display, and a premium Harman Kardon sound system.

It also includes M Drive Professional, offering advanced features such as Drift Analyser and Laptimer for enthusiasts who want to explore the car’s full potential on track.
