<\/p>\n\n A standard M2 just out-lapped the halo M2 CS, proving BMW’s own parts catalog can dethrone its most expensive small M car <\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
The BMW<\/a> M2 Track Kit beat the M2 CS around the N\u00fcrburgring Nordschleife.<\/p>\n New aero and suspension upgrades focus on serious trackday performance.<\/p>\n BMW says every component was developed alongside its M division engineers.<\/p>\n The M2 CS is supposed to be the ultimate version of BMW\u2019s smallest M car, but a new factory-backed upgrade package has already managed to outgun it. Armed with a collection of aerodynamic and chassis upgrades, a BMW M2<\/a> fitted with the new M Performance Track Kit has set a new N\u00fcrburgring Nordschleife record for the model. The craziest part is that the new record could\u2019ve been even quicker had conditions been better.<\/p>\n According to BMW, the lap took place on May 22 and was independently verified by T\u00dcV Rheinland. Importantly, conditions were far from ideal. The automaker says high ambient and track temperatures, along with oil traces in the T13 section of the circuit, made the attempt more challenging than a typical record run. <\/p>\n Even so, the M2 completed the 12.94-mile (20.83-km) Nordschleife<\/a> in 7:25.068. That puts it half a second ahead of the recently launched M2 CS and establishes a new benchmark for the platform.<\/p>\n No Extra Power, Just Better Hardware<\/p>\n Interestingly, the M2 didn\u2019t achieve this feat by simply adding more power. In fact, it didn\u2019t add any power at all over the standard car. Instead, the M Performance Track Kit centers on a newly developed chassis setup and a comprehensive aerodynamic package designed specifically for trackday enthusiasts.<\/p>\n Key upgrades include an adjustable front splitter, aero flicks, a manually adjustable swan-neck rear wing with a dedicated Race Mode setting, and a new coilover suspension.<\/p>\n Read: This BMW M2 CS Outmuscles An Aventador<\/a><\/p>\n BMW<\/a> says the suspension uses motorsport-derived dampers while still retaining road legality. That\u2019s a big deal because plenty of owners in this segment enjoy being able to drive to and from the track on the day. Owners will also appreciate that the M Division itself played a huge role in the development of the track pack.<\/p>\n BMW M engineers worked alongside the M Performance Parts team, while aerodynamic testing took place in BMW\u2019s wind tunnel. Chassis tuning duties fell to BMW M test engineer and N\u00fcrburgring specialist J\u00f6rg Weidinger, who helped fine-tune the package for maximum precision and stability at the limit.<\/p>\n Sure, half a second on such a huge course isn\u2019t exactly earth-shattering, but remember that the car had no power upgrades. On top of that, M2 owners now have a new avenue to procure this kind of speed without having to shell out for a special CS<\/a> trim. <\/p>\n What It Costs<\/p>\n Don\u2019t expect it to be cheap, though. The kit runs \u20ac23,500 plus tax and installation in Germany. BMW hasn\u2019t announced official U.S. pricing yet, but that works out to roughly $27,000 before the extra labor.<\/p>\n
