It’s official; the new BMW M2 CS is now the fastest compact car around the Nürburgring. With an official lap time of 7 minutes and 25.5 seconds, the Competition Sport has dethroned the Audi RS3. The hottest G87 version to date managed to shave an impressive 7.6 seconds off the previous lap record. Perhaps even more remarkable is the gap between the CS and the standard M2, as the hardcore special edition is 13.2 seconds quicker. | BMWBLOG
