Speaking about the award, Graeme Grieve, Chief Executive Officer, BMW Group UK, said: “We are exceptionally proud that BMW M2 CS has taken the evo Car of the Year 2020 title among such a competitive and varied field and this award is proof that we raised the bar. All of the cars were judged on their on-road and on-circuit dynamics, performance and, crucially, whether they deliver the thrill of driving.

In an outstanding year for new driver’s cars, the M2 CS was the standout car.”ĭevoted to the ‘thrill of driving’, evo magazine was launched in the UK in November 1998, and since then has become a global brand with editions around the world and an engaged social media following of more than half a million car fans.Įight cars were in the running for the overall top accolade, with the magazine’s editorial team putting all of them through a series of extensive tests at Anglesey Circuit and the Scottish Borders. Of our eight finalists the M2 CS was the car we couldn’t get enough of.

From the way it looks, to the performance it offers and, crucially, how it engages with the driver on road and track. Stuart Gallagher, evo editor, said: “In the BMW M2 CS our six judges experienced the very essence of a driver’s car. It blends outstanding track performance with unrestricted everyday usability and sets new, class-leading standards for acceleration, handling dynamics and precision. This special edition was offered in limited numbers, positioned one rung up the performance ladder from the BMW M2 Competition. Renowned motoring magazine and website evo has named the BMW M2 CS its Car of the Year 2020.Īnnounced in November 2019, BMW M2 CS started production in early 2020 with the first customer deliveries in spring.
Judged both on the road and on the track, the winner was decided on which offered the greatest driving thrills and performed the best on roads and on-circuit. For Evo, this car was not only great but in fact, the best car of the year.Įvo’s selection process involved choosing between eight other cars, where each was put through its paces and involved in various tests by several members of the editorial team.
On the inside, the interior is stripped back and alcantara is added on the steering wheels and centre divider and, most tragically, the centre arm rest is gone.Īs we know, the M2 was already hailed and proclaimed as the ‘ultimate driver’s car’ before the M2 CS broke cover. The M2 CS has things like the ‘Adaptive M suspension’, lighter 19-inch matte gold alloys, bigger brakes, carbon fibre body panels, a bonnet vent and exposed carbon wing mirrors, front splitter and roof panel. Top Gear, for instance, rated the M2 CS 8/10 for exactly this reason, where they gave the BMW M2 and M2 Competition a 9/10. The M2 CS is truly extreme with carbon fibre all over, an added bonnet vent and stripped back interior, although other reviewers have criticised it for still being overpriced, costing £75,320, £25k more than an M2 Comp! To give some context to this car, the M2 CS is like a track-focused version of the M2 Competition, which is already more sporty than the already exhilarating M2. The most extreme version of the M2 wins Car of The YearĮveryone loves the BMW M2 and Evo are no different! The top honour from Evo’s awards has been given to the BMW M2 CS, the more hardcore version of the M2 and M2 Competition.Įvo, a very well-established motoring site and magazine, has praised the M2 CS for its ‘outstanding’ qualities including appearance, speed and handling and Evo editor Stuart Gallagher even went so far as to say the judges experienced the ‘essence of a driver’s car’ when testing it.
