Could not find OEM hood or seats so i left them out but that's an idea. Just parts no install
M2 Comp MSRP: $58,900
M2CS MSRP $83,600
Comp+Parts listed (without seats, roof, suspension) $80,043

On the one hand - seen from the customer's point of view: pretty pointless to do a 'conversion' - it ends up with an expensively modified M2 Competition.

On the other hand - seen from BMW's point of view: also ask yourself how much it really costs BMW to produce those items and do a recount. Needless to say that M Performance Parts are very profitable items for BMW.

Also don't forget to remove replaced items from the M2C price: if BMW fits a CS center console or CF hood, it won't first fit and subsequently trash the original item.

Furthermore: some M2C items are not available on the M2 CS (either omitted or conflicting items): see for example here.

Some extra food for thought:

When ordering an M2 CS you got a choice about (Brembo) brakes:

• tick the M-CCB box and it will set you back $8K/€8K for the gold colored M-CCB (option code 2NK);
• don't tick the M-CCB box, you get the red M Sport Brakes (code 2NH) as standard feature and the price will not change.

So no "half cost" favor to choose the M-CCB instead of the M Sport Brakes. On the M2 CS you cannot spec the original blue "regular" M2/M2C brakes (that allow fitting 18" wheels).

You could also approach it the other way around: on the M2 CS you get the red 2NH M Sport Brakes as standard feature (cost option on the M2C in Europe: silver 2NH). But of course, it's already included in the M2 CS base price. Seen from that perspective M-CCB on the M2 CS are actually the price of the 2NH + $8K/€8K (M-CCB factory installed). If you want to retrofit 2NH at a later stage, it will cost you even more: M-CCB (factory installed) + 2NH + cost of labor for the 2NH retrofit.

So, yeah, as regards the M2 CS customer wallet, M-CCB is even more costly for the M2 CS customer than the $8K/€8k option price: BMW gets the 2NH money from that customer as part of the M2 CS base price without installing 2NH onto the M2 CS of that customer.
