See photos and videos below.This M2 CS (or M2 Competition) prototype has been spied wearing LCI bits. Until now, the M2 CS has only been spotted sounding like an M3/M4 , but looking like a standard M2. This M2 prototype features the same refreshed headlights, tail lights and grilles seen on the standard 2 Series LCI prototypes, but it also wears a huge Bane-like camouflage covering the front bumper which suggests a significant design change up front.Regardless of what lies behind the front end camouflage, the most telling signs that this is the M2 CS and not just an standard LCI M2 are its much larger steel brakes and M3/M4 like exhaust canister.

Note: the prototypes are currently wearing all season tires for testing purposes during the winter months.To recap, the M2 CS will feature the M3/M4's S55 engine , but slightly detuned to 400 HP. In addition to the new engine, the M2 CS will feature other track focused bits such as suspension tweaks and aerodynamic parts - such as more aggressive front bumper / front splitter and rear spoiler or wing. Expect a throatier exhaust and possibly optional carbon ceramic brakes as well. It will come to market in 2018 (as a MY2019 in the US).Compare to the standard M2 LCI prototype also spotted today (features standard brakes and exhaust).And here's what the M2 CS sounded like on the Nurburgring:
