The BMW M2 Could Get A Massive Power Hike Thanks To An M4 Engine Transplant
Information has leaked about an M2 Club Sport which will use the M4's ferocious powertrain
Rumours have circulated about a hardcore version of the already capable M2, which could bear the M2 CSL name. It’d be a baby version of the M4 GTS, and now German publication Bimmer Today has got an inside scoop of the track-focused baby M car. And it seems set to get one hell of a power boost.
Known as the M2 CS (Club Sport), the car will use a detuned version of the M4’s S55 engine. This means that power outputs will be around 400bhp - 25bhp down on the likes of the M3 and M4 but 35bhp up on the standard M2 road car. With release estimated to be some time in 2018, the CS will also exploit the M4 GTS’s suspension setup to make for a seriously competitive rival to the likes of the Audi TT RS.

WOO—HOOO
still cant afford it tho 😪
Its cool and all but i think it would have just been better if the M2 had its own engine, just makes it more unique.
M2s motor sounds better aswell imo
Hell yeah
Hmm, honestly not turned on the slightest bit. In my opinion, the M2 has got enough power and most important it sounds way better than the M4.
So the Peking order goes…
M4 GTS>M4/M3>M2 CS>M2
But we all know if they put the standard 425hp M4 engine in the M2 it has the potential to be the fastest car in the bunch.
A M2 with a M4 Engine?
I like the idea - if you want to go fast, why carry extra weight? small car with big engine will be more agile
MOAR POWAA
I’d still pick the original, because it sounds absolutely awesome, better than the M3. But the Alpina B3 sounds even better.
