SHERIDAN, WYOMING – September 23, 2025 – SHERIDAN, WYOMING – Sep. 23, 2025 – BMW fans, speed lovers, and adrenaline chasers — this one's for you. The new BMW M2 CS has just etched its name into Nürburgring history with a blistering lap time of 7:25.5, redefining what we can expect from compact performance cars. But this isn't just about lap times — it's about passion, precision, and the pure joy of driving.

A new compact king on the ‘Green Hell’

The Nürburgring-Nordschleife is no ordinary racetrack. Nicknamed the “Green Hell,” it’s a 12.9-mile stretch of asphalt revered (and feared) by racers across the world. On April 11, 2025, BMW M development engineer Jörg Weidinger tackled its 70+ turns with the M2 CS — and beat the existing compact car record by eight full seconds.
