Powered by a 444 brake-horsepower derivative of the S55 six-cylinder engine from the M4 Competition, a factory six-speed manual gearbox was offered as standard alongside the option of a seven-speed DCT transmission. The M2 CS was the first M2 to feature a carbon fibre roof and all cars benefitted from adaptive M suspension.
