BMW has released the first official images of the new 2026 M2 CS, the sportiest version of the smallest model in the M lineup.

The car features a more aggressive design with a redesigned front bumper, larger air intakes, and a “ducktail” rear spoiler. Gold wheels and red brake calipers complete the look, along with a subtle matte grey paint. Inside, the model offers bucket seats, red accents, and the CS badge.

There are no official performance figures yet, but rumors suggest the M2 CS will be powered by a turbocharged inline-six engine producing around 518 horsepower. Unlike the M3 and M4 CS, which feature all-wheel drive, the M2 CS is expected to retain rear-wheel drive.

It is also speculated that the model will only be available with an automatic transmission, disappointing fans of the previous version, which offered a manual option.

The full reveal of the BMW M2 CS is scheduled for next week. Until then, the released images give a good idea of the model’s style and purpose, which aims to combine exclusivity, performance, and striking design within the M lineup.
