Set the drive mode to Sport Plus, then hit DSC Off, which allows for the activation of launch control. Set the transmission in full-sport S3 mode, hold down the pedals, and wait as the BMW prepares launch control. When it's ready, let go of the brake, and have faith that the enthusiastic wiggles from the back end will settle down and the car will commit to forward movement.Marc urbano and michael simari - Car and DriverReaders keep getting mad at us for describing the 3719-pound M2 CS as "small" and "light," but the only cars that carried less mass in this grouping were the Elantra and the 750S. Even the 911 Turbo S weighed more. The M2 may not be a featherweight, but its comparative slimness helped it knock out the whole test in 3083 feet.Back to 0–150–0 Speed Test 2026You Might Also LikeGift Guide: Best Ride-On Electric Cars for KidsFuture Cars Worth Waiting For: 2025–2029
