  <strong>Note: This press release is a 1:1 copy of the original issued
    by BMW headquarters in Germany. No adaptions have been made to cater
    to the UK market. </strong></p>
<p>
  <strong>
    <br />Munich. </strong>BMW M GmbH once again achieved outstanding
  sales growth in 2025. For no less than the 14th time in a row, the
  manufacturer of high-performance and performance vehicles reported
  record sales. And for the 7th time running, BMW M GmbH vehicles
  outsold their competitors by a considerable margin. A sales total of
  213,457 vehicles surpassed the previous year’s excellent result
  (206,582 vehicles) by three per cent. Both the high-performance and
  performance models set new benchmarks. Keys to success in all markets
  are a state-of-the-art model range spanning many vehicle classes and
  an extensive portfolio of powertrain options. In 2025, nearly every
  tenth BMW sold was a BMW M model. This share of 9.8 per cent
  represents another milestone.</p>
<p>“Our 14th consecutive sales record validates our strategy. We will
  continue to offer performance and high-performance vehicles across the
  entire BMW model range. With fully electric, partly electric and
  all-ICE powertrains,” says Franciscus van Meel, CEO of BMW M GmbH.</p>
<p>
  <strong>High-performance executive models drive
  growth.<br /></strong>The high-performance models from BMW M GmbH
  combine racetrack capabilities with unrestricted everyday usability.
  BMW M5 models became key growth drivers in 2025. The BMW M5 Sedan
  (energy consumption, weighted, combined: 17.6–17.2 kWh/100 km and
  5.0–4.8 l/100 km (WLTP); CO<sub>2</sub> emissions, weighted, combined:
  114–108 g/km (WLTP); CO<sub>2</sub> classes: with discharged battery
  G, weighted, combined C; fuel consumption with discharged battery:
  10.7–10.5 l/100 km (WLTP))*<sup>,1</sup> and the BMW M5 Touring
  (energy consumption, weighted, combined: 18.1–17.6 kWh/100 km and
  5.3–5.0 l/100 km (WLTP); CO<sub>2</sub> emissions, weighted, combined:
  119–114 g/km (WLTP); CO<sub>2</sub> classes: with discharged battery
  G, weighted, combined D–C; fuel consumption with discharged battery:
  10.9–10.7 l/100 km (WLTP))*<sup>,1</sup> saw enormous sales increases
  in their first full year on the markets, making them key contributors
  to the success of BMW M GmbH. Both vehicles offer a model-specific
  version of the M HYBRID system with a peak output of 535 kW/727 hp and
  a maximum system torque of 1,000 Nm. A high-revving V8 engine with M
  TwinPower Turbo technology and an electric motor combine with an
  eight-speed M Steptronic transmission to provide power to the M xDrive
  all-wheel drive system. The great appeal of the BMW M5 Touring was
  underscored by a “Golden Steering Wheel” award. This accolade is
  awarded by “Auto Bild” and “Bild am Sonntag”, both published by the
  German Axel Springer SE publishing house. The high-performance model
  achieved the highest points score of all finalists in the competition.
  Moreover, the distinguished jury rated the BMW M5 Touring ahead of the
  other class finalists in all driving disciplines, as well as in terms
  of efficiency and value for money.</p>
<p>The BMW M2 Coupé (fuel consumption, combined: 10.2–9.7 l/100 km;
  CO<sub>2</sub> emissions, combined: 230–221 g/km (WLTP),
  CO<sub>2</sub> class: G)* was the best-selling high-performance
  vehicle of 2025. This model is also available with a manual
  transmission (fuel consumption, combined: 10.2–9.7 l/100 km;
  CO<sub>2</sub> emissions, combined: 230–221 g/km (WLTP),
  CO<sub>2</sub> class: G)* and as an even more track-focused BMW M2 CS
  special model (fuel consumption, combined: 10.0 l/100 km;
  CO<sub>2</sub> emissions, combined: 226 g/km (WLTP), CO<sub>2</sub>
  class: G)*. This delivers 390 kW/530 hp of power and recently set a
  new record time of 7:25.5 minutes on the Nürburgring.</p>
<p>
  <strong>Favourite among performance enthusiasts: the BMW M3
  family.<br /></strong>The BMW M3 models are another family of
  high-performance best-sellers. The series impresses with perfectly
  tailored model variants and includes sedans with various output
  levels. The BMW M3 entry-level model is a particularly purist vehicle
  that comes with a six-speed manual transmission and 353 kW/480 hp of
  power (fuel consumption, combined: 10.1 l/100 km; CO<sub>2</sub>
  emissions, combined: 230–229 g/km (WLTP), CO<sub>2</sub> class: G)*.
  Then there are the extremely popular Touring variants. 2025 also saw
  the launch of the BMW M3 CS Touring (fuel consumption, combined: 10.5
  l/100 km; CO<sub>2</sub> emissions, combined: 238 g/km (WLTP),
  CO<sub>2</sub> class: G)*, the most sporting exemplar with 405 kW/551
  hp. The large number of BMW M3 family sales is a clear sign of the
  model series’ continued allure and represents a major contribution to
  the new record of almost 71,500 high-performance vehicles sold.</p>
<p>
  <strong>M Performance model is BMW M GmbH best-seller.<br /></strong>A
  particularly popular model and also the best-selling BMW M GmbH
  vehicle of 2025 was the BMW X3 M50 (fuel consumption, combined: 8.3
  l/100 km; CO<sub>2</sub> emissions, combined: 189 g/km (WLTP);
  CO<sub>2</sub> class: G)*. The top athlete in the premium mid-size SAV
  segment offers unique performance capabilities and a charismatic
  appearance. The M TwinPower Turbo engine, combined with 48-volt mild
  hybrid technology, delivers a maximum system output of 293 kW/398 hp.
  The power of the BMW X3 M50 is complemented by specific chassis
  technology and signature M design elements. With these attributes, it
  overtook the BMW i4 and its M60 Gran Coupé xDrive variant (energy
  consumption, combined (WLTP): 20.9 kWh/100 km; CO<sub>2</sub>
  emissions, combined (WLTP): 0 g/km, CO<sub>2</sub> class: A)*, which
  delivers an output of 442 kW/601 hp and a range of up to 551 km. The
  electric BMW i4 range-topper was the best-selling BMW M GmbH model
  from 2022 to 2024. </p>
<p>In 2025, nearly every tenth BMW sold was a BMW M model, and the sales
  share of 9.8 per cent (9.4 per cent in the year prior) represents
  another new record. BMW M vehicles are especially popular in
  Switzerland, where nearly every fourth BMW ordered is a BMW M model. </p>
<p>
  <strong>Exceptional sales total, top spots in the individual
  markets.<br /></strong>In the key markets, BMW M GmbH vehicles led the
  field, beating their competitors by a considerable margin. The models
  were particularly coveted in the U.S., the largest single market at
  over 72,000 units sold. But BMW M models also achieved top positions
  in markets such as Canada, Germany, Korea, South Africa and the United
  Kingdom. In China, BMW M GmbH achieved its largest absolute sales increase.</p>
<p>
  <strong>Focused model strategy to secure and expand top
  position.<br /></strong>The state-of-the-art model portfolio with its
  comprehensive range of ICE, plug-in hybrid and all-electric vehicles
  is at the heart of BMW M GmbH success. The development of models based
  on the Neue Klasse will provide further momentum. “Our strategy of
  being open towards new technologies once again paid off in 2025. BMW M
  GmbH stands for optimal performance, independently of the powertrain
  type. In all markets and across all vehicle classes. Customers looking
  for a performance or high-performance vehicle will always find it at
  BMW M GmbH”, says Sylvia Neubauer, Vice President Customer, Brand,
  Sales at BMW M GmbH.</p>
<p>
  <strong>Motorsport remains a key pillar at BMW M
  GmbH.<br /></strong>The BMW M Motorsport race cars – the BMW M Hybrid
  V8, the BMW M4 GT3 EVO and the BMW M4 GT4 EVO – achieved a total of
  more than 180 victories in 2025. In works motorsport, the BMW M Hybrid
  V8 delivered a competitive performance in the first half of the FIA
  WEC season and the BMW M GmbH marks 14th consecutive record year. The
  best result of a season marked by highs and lows was the 1-2 finish at
  Road America. The BMW M4 GT3 EVO had a tremendous season. While the
  1-2 victory at the Bathurst 12 Hour race in Australia was still won by
  the predecessor model, the EVO version seamlessly continued the series
  with top results. Triumphs at the Nürburgring 24 Hours (Germany), the
  Suzuka 1000 (Japan), the Indianapolis 8 Hour race and in the GTD Pro
  Class at the 6 Hours of the Glen and the Petit Le Mans (both U.S.) are
  among the highlights of a season that saw over 80 victories and 100
  further podium finishes.</p>
<p>Teams driving the BMW M4 GT4 EVO achieved over 100 victories in the
  2025 season. More than any other model, the BMW M4 GT4 is associated
  with customer racing. The victory in the SP10 at the Nürburgring 24
  Hours was a particular high point. In the Nürburgring
  Langstrecken-Serie (NLS) racing series, these vehicles came out on top
  in nine out of ten races. Moreover, the BMW M4 GT4 EVO triumphed in
  all classes at the GT4 America. The strong results of the GT4 teams
  helped BMW M Motorsport secure the SRO manufacturers’ title in the GT4
  segment. The 2026 season will see the debut of the BMW M2 Racing as a
  new entry-level vehicle complementing the model portfolio for customer racing.</p>

  <strong>Note: This press release is a 1:1 copy of the original issued
    by BMW headquarters in Germany. No adaptions have been made to cater
    to the UK market. </strong></p>
<p>The new BMW M2 CS (fuel consumption combined: 10.0 l/100 km; CO2
  emissions combined: 226 g/km according to WLTP, CO2 class G)* sets a
  new benchmark on the legendary Nordschleife racetrack of the
  Nürburgring on 11 April 2025. Driven by BMW M development engineer
  Jörg Weidinger, it completed the 20.823-kilometre
  Nürburgring-Nordschleife circuit in 7:25.5 minutes, beating the
  previous best time for compact cars by eight seconds. This
  record-setting BMW M2 CS not only raises the bar in the compact car
  class, but also further solidifies BMW M's reputation as a
  manufacturer of high-performance vehicles that excel both on the road
  and on the racetrack.</p>
<p>"The BMW M2 CS has achieved a significant milestone with its lap
  time of 7:25.5 minutes on the Nordschleife, showcasing the potential
  for combining performance, technology and exceptional driving dynamics
  into a single vehicle," stated Franciscus van Meel, the Managing
  Director of BMW M GmbH. 'We are proud that the M2 CS has once again
  set a new benchmark in the compact car class with this lap time.'</p>
<p>
  <strong>The continuation of a success story.</strong></p>
<p>The previous best time for a BMW M2 model was set by Weidinger in
  April 2023, when he completed the course in 7:38.7 minutes. Two years
  later, he beat this time by 13 seconds, breaking the class record of
  7:30 minutes for the first time. With the newly set best time of
  7:25.5 minutes, the BMW M2 CS demonstrates its outstanding performance
  as well as the innovative power and engineering skills of BMW M GmbH.</p>
<p>Previous record runs on the Nordschleife by the BMW M4 CS, the BMW M4
  CSL and the BMW M3 CS, all mid-range vehicles, achieved times under
  7:30 minutes. The BMW M4 CSL also holds the best lap time ever
  recorded for a BMW Group production car. The official, notarised time
  is 7:18.137 minutes.</p>
<p>
  <strong>The "Green Hell" myth: The Nordschleife as a touchstone.</strong></p>
<p>Often referred to as the 'Green Hell', the Nordschleife racetrack is
  considered one of the most demanding and challenging racetracks in the
  world. Measuring 20.832 kilometres in length with over 70 bends, it
  places the highest demands on drivers and vehicles alike. A fast lap
  on this track proves a vehicle's performance and handling
  capabilities. The Nordschleife lap times are the gold standard for
  measuring a vehicle's sporting performance and driving dynamics.
  Record runs are monitored by a neutral testing organisation, and the
  vehicles are checked to ensure they are in standard condition. This
  detailed inspection ensures that the record runs are carried out using
  production vehicles.</p>
<p>
  <strong>The Nürburgring - Home of BMW M.</strong></p>
<p>BMW M and the Nürburgring have been in partnership for over a quarter
  of a century. From the BMW M Power Grandstand and BMW M Bridge to the
  BMW M Driving Experience and BMW M Test Centre, not to mention test
  drives on the Nordschleife for M vehicles en route to series
  production, the partnership between BMW M and the Nürburgring has been
  a resounding success for over 25 years. The Nordschleife serves as a
  test bench for every M model. The BMW M Test Centre is equipped with
  cutting-edge workshop facilities that allow BMW M to put vehicles
  through rigorous testing on the Nordschleife track even before they
  reach production, as well as to develop new models.</p>
<p>BMW M Motorsport racing cars have achieved numerous successes in
  various racing series, including 21 overall victories in the
  Nürburgring 24-hour race. The M Power showroom, which was redesigned
  in 2021, is another flagship of the cooperation. The Nürburgring's
  position as the home of BMW M has been further strengthened since then.</p>
<p>
  <strong>The new BMW M2 CS: More power, improved driving dynamics and
    consistent lightweight construction.</strong></p>
<p>The new BMW M2 CS is a testament to BMW M GmbH's ongoing commitment
  to setting the standard in the compact high-performance sports car
  segment. Its combination of performance, lightweight construction and
  innovative technology makes the BMW M2 CS a vehicle that gets drivers
  and enthusiasts' hearts racing. The BMW M2 CS increases driving
  pleasure in the premium segment with its enhanced performance and
  outstanding agility. The advanced six-cylinder in-line engine
  featuring BMW M TwinPower Turbo technology delivers an impressive
  output of 390 kW/530 hp and a maximum torque of 650 Nm. Model-specific
  engine mounts, an adaptive M suspension and an M compound brake system
  all contribute to its sporty performance. Power is transmitted to the
  rear wheels via an 8-speed M Steptronic transmission with Drivelogic.
  The BMW M2 CS is the lightest model of the current M2 generation
  thanks to targeted lightweight construction, including a large number
  of exterior and interior components made of carbon fibre-reinforced
  plastic (CFRP), which reduces its weight by around 30 kg. This makes a
  decisive contribution to its outstanding driving dynamics. The BMW M2
  CS comes with forged M light-alloy wheels as standard. Manufactured at
  the BMW Group plant in San Luis Potosí, Mexico, the BMW M2 CS is a
  limited edition model with a market launch planned for late summer
  2025, priced at 115,000 euros in Germany.</p><div class="co2emission"><div class="co2emission-headline">CO2 EMISSIONS & CONSUMPTION.</div><div class="co2emission-text"><p>

  sets another benchmark in the compact high-performance sports car
  segment. Arriving as the latest special edition model from BMW M GmbH,
  it fuses thrilling performance, superior driving dynamics and a
  compelling design, whilst continuing a prestigious lineage that began
  with the legendary BMW 2002 Turbo over half a century ago.<br />
  <br />With an increased engine power output, model-specific chassis
  tuning and a lightweight construction – comprising an array of carbon
  fibre reinforced plastic components (CFRP) – the second-generation BMW
  M2 CS (combined fuel consumption: 28.8 mpg; combined CO2 emissions:
  226 g/km according to WLTP, CO2 class: G) is as proficient on the
  racetrack as it is on the road.<br />
  <br />The six-cylinder in-line engine with M TwinPower Turbo
  technology now delivers an impressive 530 hp – a 50 hp increase over
  the current-generation BMW M2 – and 650 Nm of torque. As a result, the
  new BMW M2 CS matches the performance capabilities of both the BMW M3
  Competition Saloon with M xDrive (fuel consumption, combined: 27.7
  mpg; CO2 emissions, combined: 230 g/km in the WLTP cycle, CO2 class:
  G) and BMW M4 Coupé with M xDrive (fuel consumption, combined: 28.0
  mpg; CO2 emissions, combined: 229 g/km in the WLTP cycle, CO2 class:
  G), powering from rest to 62 mph in just 3.8 seconds.<br />
  <br />A range of model-specific design elements give the BMW M2 CS an
  unmistakeable road presence. Most prominent is a ducktail spoiler
  which has been seamlessly integrated into the carbon fibre boot lid,
  alongside exclusive forged M light-alloy wheels finished in Golden
  Bronze, a unique stripped-back M kidney grille, a newly designed
  carbon rear diffuser and a matte black front splitter.<br />
  <br />The new BMW M2 CS is priced from £86,800 RRP and will be
  produced in a limited run at BMW Group Plant San Luis Potosí in
  Mexico. First customer deliveries are set to arrive in the UK in late
  summer 2025.<br />

  <strong>Noticeable weight reduction thanks to intelligent lightweight
  design.<br /></strong>The new BMW M2 CS weighs approximately 30
  kilograms lighter than the standard model. This notable weight
  reduction has been achieved through intelligent lightweight
  construction – utilising an array of exterior and interior components
  made from CFRP – and standard-fit forged M light-alloy wheels. The
  result is the lightest BMW M2 of the current generation.<br />
  <br />
  <strong>Six-cylinder in-line engine with significant increase in power
    output and torque.</strong>
  <br />The new BMW M2 CS is equipped with an upgraded version of the
  3.0-litre, six-cylinder in-line petrol engine found in the current
  generation BMW M2. Especially noticeable in dynamic driving
  situations, the engine’s unmistakeable performance characteristics are
  sharper, and power delivery is linear, even into the higher rev ranges.<br />
  <br />The engine’s power output rises to 530 hp – a 50 hp power
  increase over the current generation. Peak torque also sees a 50 Nm
  increase, with 650 Nm available across a broad rev range from 2,650
  rpm and up to 5,730 rpm. The engine’s maximum power output is
  mobilised at 6,250 rpm before it reaches a 7,200-rpm red line.
  Performance is further enhanced through model-specific accelerator
  mapping across all drive modes selectable via the M Setup menu.<br />
  <br />The engine’s M TwinPower Turbo technology comprises a pair of
  mono-scroll turbochargers, an indirect intercooler supplied by a
  low-temperature circuit, and an electronically controlled wastegate.
  The technology package also includes High Precision Injection, which
  operates with maximum pressure of 350 bar, VALVETRONIC variable valve
  timing and Double-VANOS fully variable camshaft timing.<br />
  <br />Inspired by motorsport, the engine additionally features an
  extremely rigid crankcase with a sleeve-free, closed-deck
  construction, a forged crankshaft with lightweight design, cylinder
  bores with a wire-arc sprayed iron coating and a 3D-printed core for
  the cylinder head.<br />
  <br />The M-specific cooling system ensures the powertrain components
  maintain an optimal operating temperature even under heavy loads,
  while the oil circuit is adequately equipped to handle highly dynamic
  driving situations. Additionally, a map-controlled oil pump ensures
  reliable oil supply even under extreme acceleration.<br />
  <br />Power is delivered through an eight-speed M Steptronic
  transmission with Drivelogic as standard. A Drivelogic button is
  integrated into the gear selector lever, making it possible to alter
  the transmission’s shift characteristics with a choice of three
  distinct levels. In addition to the gear selector lever, gearshift
  paddles on the steering wheel can be used for sequential interventions
  in the gear selection process at any time.<br />
  <br />Exceptional performance: 0 to 62 mph in less than four
  seconds.<br />A specially designed engine mounting with increased
  spring rates establishes a highly rigid connection between the power
  unit and the vehicle's structure. This results in a sharper engine
  response and an extremely direct transmission of power to the drivetrain.<br />
  <br />Thanks to its rapid power delivery, increased engine power
  output, and lightweight design, the new BMW M2 CS can accelerate from
  rest to 62 mph in just 3.8 seconds – 0.2 seconds faster than the
  current-generation BMW M2. 0 – 124 mph is dealt with in 11.7 seconds,
  while the mid-range sprint from 50 – 75 mph takes just 3.4 seconds.
  The top speed of the special edition – which is equipped with the M
  Driver’s Package as standard – is electronically limited to 188 mph.<br />
  <br />This dynamic power delivery is complemented by a rich engine
  note, which is radiated via an M-specific exhaust system with
  electrically-controlled flaps and – in true M fashion – two pairs of
  tailpipes finished in matte black. For drivers seeking an even more
  aggressive soundscape, a lightweight titanium M Performance exhaust
  system – designed specifically for CS models – is available from the M
  Performance parts catalogue for the BMW M2 CS. The Active Sound Design
  inside the cabin also helps to convey the engine’s soundtrack
  authentically, with the intensity raised when SPORT or SPORT PLUS
  modes are selected.<br />
  <br />
  <strong>Chassis and brakes optimised for increased performance.</strong>
  <br />The chassis technology and braking system for the BMW M2 CS are
  precisely tailored to the model’s improved performance characteristics
  and its unique weight distribution. Lowered by eight millimetres, the
  chassis benefits from model-specific adaptations, including bespoke
  tuning for the springs, dampers and chassis control systems. In
  addition, the settings for the Dynamic Stability Control (DSC) and M
  Dynamic Mode have been precisely optimised to meet the demands of
  driving on track. The M Servotronic steering, M Sport differential and
  integrated braking system also receive model-specific tuning.<br />
  <br />An M Compound braking system with red brake callipers is fitted
  as standard. Driver’s seeking additional stopping power can choose the
  optional M Carbon ceramic brakes, which are also equipped with red
  brake callipers.<br />
  <br />
  <strong>A bold exterior design featuring numerous carbon fibre
    components. <br /></strong>The exterior design of the BMW M2 CS
  comprises a variety of components made from carbon-fibre-reinforced
  plastic (CFRP) and model-specific details. The front-end is
  characterised by a newly designed and stripped-back BMW M kidney
  grille with optimised air inlets, Shadow Line Adaptive LED headlights
  with high-beam assist and a matte black front splitter.<br />
  <br />Most prominent at the rear is a large ducktail spoiler, which
  has been seamlessly integrated into the CFRP boot lid. The “M2 CS”
  badge finished in a red/black colourway sits beneath the pronounced
  spoiler. In addition to the M exterior mirror caps – familiar from the
  current-generation BMW M2 – the special edition gains a standard-fit M
  carbon roof and a unique rear diffuser, also made from CFRP.<br />
  <br />BMW M2 CS customers can select from four exterior paint colours:
  Sapphire Black metallic, M Brooklyn Grey metallic, M Portimao Blue
  metallic and BMW Individual Velvet Blue metallic. Meanwhile, the
  CS-exclusive M light-alloy wheels in a double-spoke design are
  finished exclusively in matte Gold Bronze. They measure 19 inches at
  the front and 20 inches at the rear (with the dimensions 275/35 ZR19
  and 285/30 ZR20 respectively) and are fitted as standard with track
  tyres. Customers can specify sport tyres at no additional charge,
  while ultra-track tyres are available optionally and yield maximum
  performance on track.<br />
  <br />
  <strong>Carbon and racing flair continues inside the cabin.</strong>
  <br />The interior of the BMW M2 CS combines a performance-oriented
  cockpit with advanced digital technology and further model-exclusive
  design elements. A standout feature is the centre console, which has
  been constructed entirely from CFRP. Similarly, the heated and
  weight-optimised bucket seats for the driver and front passenger are
  also made from carbon and can be electrically adjusted into a wide
  range of positions. Each has integral head restraints, an illuminated
  “CS” model badge and surfaces in full Merino leather.<br />
  <br />Bringing authentic racing flair into the cockpit, a heated M
  Alcantara steering wheel in a three-spoke design is fitted as
  standard. It features a flat-bottomed rim, a red centre marker in the
  12 o’clock position and two M buttons which provide quick access to
  individually configured vehicle setups. Elsewhere, “CS” lettering
  decorates the centre console, door sills and is illuminated within the
  door panels – a unique feature of the M2 CS. Rounding off the interior
  design is a standard-fit anthracite headliner.<br />
  <br />
  <strong>M-specific setup buttons for a customisable driving
  experience.<br /></strong>The BMW M2 CS utilises the same cutting-edge
  operating concept for driving configuration as the BMW M2. At its
  heart is the Setup button on the centre console, which provides direct
  access to settings for the engine, chassis, steering and brakes.
  Offering further customisation capability, the special edition comes
  as standard with the M Drive Professional system with track-optimised
  functions such as the M Drift Analyser and M Laptimer. This system
  also includes a TRACK mode and ten-stage M Traction Control, where the
  wheel slip limiter intervention thresholds can be tailored to the
  driver’s individual preference.<br />
  <br />
  <strong>BMW Curved Display with Operating System 8.5.</strong>
  <br />The new BMW M2 CS features a BMW Curved Display, comprising a
  12.3-inch information display and a 14.9-inch control display with an
  M-specific interface based on BMW Operating System 8.5. The
  information display features M Shift Lights at its upper edge, while
  the status of the driving stability systems and traction control can
  be found in the lower portion of the screen. The home screen of the
  14.9-inch control display provides access to widgets for vehicle
  setup, tyre pressure and temperature.<br />
  <br />
  <strong>A compelling standard specification to enhance driving pleasure.</strong>
  <br />Further standard equipment for the BMW M2 CS includes three-zone
  automatic air conditioning, comfort access, a Harman Kardon Surround
  Sound System and BMW Live Cockpit Plus including BMW Maps navigation
  system. Alongside the head-up display, BMW Live Cockpit Professional
  also includes an augmented view mode on the control display.
  Smartphone integration enables both Apple CarPlay® and Android Auto™.<br />
  <br />Providing partially automated driving and parking capabilities,
  the Driving Assistant, Parking Assistant, Front Collision Warning,
  Cruise Control with Braking Function, Speed Limit Info with blind-spot
  detection and Lane Departure Warning are also offered as standard.
  Meanwhile, Active Cruise Control with Stop & Go function is
  available optionally.<br />
