Does tuner LIGHTWEIGHT Performance close the BMW model gap? The M2 Competition series has been on the market since 2018. The top version, the M2 CS from BMW presented in limited numbers. But if you ask die-hard BMW fans, an abbreviation has been missing from a BMW model name for a long time. CSL - Coupé Sport lightweight construction. Tuner Lightweight Performance from Sinn-Fleisbach knows the abbreviation too well. So you use an E46 M3 CSL as a long-term company car for track days and events. "Our CSL is a big part of the company's history. For more than 10 years we have been walking the common path from the development agency for our products to the racing taxi on various race tracks.“What could be more obvious than to implement the CSL genes based on the M2 Competition? No sooner said than done - the steel roof was exchanged for a carbon roof. This brought minus 6,5 kilos and the center of gravity lower.
Carbon front spoiler, diffuser & Co.
Other lightweight components such as a carbon front spoiler, carbon rear diffuser, carbon rear wing complement the aerodynamics in order to generate safe driving behavior at higher speeds by means of increased contact pressure. Visually, the attachments also make a lot of things; without looking fake or over the top. Did we just write higher speeds? Clear! This M2 Competition delivers 494PS / 653NM and the forward thrust only stops at 303 km / h. With TÜV certification, of course. Lightweight construction also with the 10 × 19 inch wheels. The lightweight forged wheel weighs only 9,2 kilograms without tires, making it around three kilos lighter than the standard bike. The general rule is known: The lower the mass of unsprung components, the better the driving characteristics of a vehicle. The lightweight exhaust system from OPF (with EC approval) doesn't just sound good; it reduces the weight by another 7 kilos. In the chassis, Lightweight used a Bilstein Clubsport coilover; this lends itself to the fact that, since the E46 M3 CSL, we can look back on many years of successful cooperation.
Sachsenring lap time of 1: 31,16 minutes
These ingredients, mixed and matched to the lightweight know-how, result in a lap time of 1: 31,16 at the Sachsenring. For comparison: the special model M2 CS mentioned above did the round in 1: 34,97. Thus, the M2 Competition by Lightweight Performance ranks between super athletes. Very important: The requirement for this conversion was that everyday suitability did not suffer. You drove the lap time in a car with a back seat and all comfort features! The entire potential of a lightweight modified BMW can be seen if we can see in history that with a Lightweight M4 and the special model, the Lightweight M2 CSR, the team is the first in the BMW sector to have a lap time of under 1:30:00 on the Sachsenring has realized. Let's take a look at the overall package that Lightweight has put together: On the one hand, a beautiful M2 Coupe paired with absolute suitability for everyday use. On the other hand a real racer. Did you manage to build the egg-laying wool milk sow? Or even better - a vehicle that would have earned the abbreviation CSL?
Modifications for around 20.000 euros
The total package of modifications is around 20.000 euros and can be expanded or customized as required. The company motto: "Stop following - take the lead“Is the program.
