Everyone seems so smug, but there is absolutely no progress compared to an M3 or M4. Not faster, not lighter. If so then what’s the point?
Those internet race jockeys comparing its time with the F87 M2CS will always have a hard time understanding the importance of tires. Each new generation of tire is 5 - 10 seconds faster than the previous one. Put them on the same tires and the difference evaporates.

The M2 and 1M have always been a cut-down M3/M4 and has never performed better in any objective measurement. If in any case the M2 CS was faster than a pre-LCI F8x M3/M4 it was due to the tires and software tweaks. The point is that the M2 is cheaper and feels smaller than the M3 and M4.
BTW, the M2 CS comes on Cup 2 * developed not very long ago separate from the original effort in 2015 that yielded the PSS * that was on F87. It is likely the G87 is a bit faster than F87 M2 CS if equipped with the same tire.
