Dahler has been offering power upgrades
for the regular M2 for a few years now, and its portfolio has recently grown to
include the hottest version of the sports coupe yet, the M2 CS, which also
serves the swansong of the series.
With the Stage 2 tune installed, the
output of the twin-turbocharged, 3.0-liter inline-six grows from 444 HP to 542 HP, and peak torque stands at 740
Nm, up from 550 Nm. The top speed limiter is also removed,
allowing the M2 CS to exceed 280 km/h, but this option is only
available for markets outside Switzerland.
For those who find 542 HP a bit too much
for their M2 CS, Dahler is also offering the Stage 1 power upgrade. The 513 HP and 700 Nm produced by the turbocharged engine
are good enough to rocket it up to a top speed of 302 km/h, as this
version is offered with the removed V-max limiter as well.
There is no word on the new 0-96
km/h acceleration, but the stock M2 CS does it in 4.0 seconds when equipped
with the six-speed manual transmission, or 3.8 seconds with the seven-speed
DCT. Dahler also offers a new exhaust system, coilover suspension and lowering
springs for the M2 CS, as well as ultralight forged alloy wheels, measuring
9×20- and 10.5×20-inch front and rear, shod in Michelin tires and available in
different shades.
For those who’d like to take their
enhanced M2 CS to the track, Dahler has more parts in store, such as racing seats
and a roll cage, although as far as pricing is concerned, those interested in
the upgrades will have to reach out to the Swiss tuner.
