NEW LIMITS.

The BMW M2 CS completes a record lap of the Nordschleife. The special edition model BMW M2 CS may be limited, but its performance is anything but. Racing driver and BMW M development engineer Jörg Weidinger pushed the new BMW M2 CS all the way at the Nürburgring. The result speaks for itself: the BMW M2 CS is the fastest compact sports car around the Nordschleife.

7:25.534 Min.

is the lap time that Jörg Weidinger brought in at the wheel of the BMW M2 CS. In the process, the M2 CS not only became the first vehicle in the compact class to break the 7:30-minute mark, it also beat the previous fastest lap for compact cars around the Nürburgring Nordschleife by eight seconds. During the lap, the speedometer of the M2 CS peaked at 298 km/h on the winding course.
The lap time of 7:25.5 minutes on the Nordschleife is a significant milestone for the BMW M2 CS and demonstrates what is possible when performance, technology and outstanding driving dynamics are combined in one vehicle.
Franciscus van Meel,

CEO of BMW M GmbH

The best time of 7:25.534 minutes demonstrates the racing expertise of BMW M GmbH, which is also evident in the new edition of the BMW M2 CS special model. Whether it’s improved aerodynamics and consistent lightweight construction or the increased peak performance of its inline six-cylinder engine – which is also used as the basis for the BMW M4 GT3 EVO race car –, with 390 kW (530 hp), a top speed of 302 km/h and a sprint from 0 to 100 km/h in 3.8 seconds, the BMW M2 CS delivers quantifiable high performance.

In previous BMW M record runs at the Nürburgring, the only models that managed to clock in under 7:30 minutes were the BMW M4 CSL and the BMW M3 CS, both mid-range vehicles. The BMW M4 CSL also holds the best lap time ever recorded for a BMW Group production vehicle. The official and certified time is 7:18.137 minutes.
