Solution 1

STA(.*?)M2 is enough, but you need to enable Singleline[^].

C#

var s = @"STA;12345;325-5899
ML;2222;5555;GHAA
-;5881;2K5K1KKL
M2;KKN;11232";

var re = new Regex("STA(.*?)M2", RegexOptions.Singleline);

Console.WriteLine(re.Matches(s)[0].Groups[1].Value);

Yields:

;12345;325-5899
ML;2222;5555;GHAA
-;5881;2K5K1KKL
