That is correct on the suspension differences. For most buyers the Comp is a waste of money. the HP difference is zero consequence and the car rides firmer than the standard M5 with no benefit on the street.
When I said CS, that is a new model about to be released by BMW in the M5 line. Similar to the M3 CS, carbon buckets and some other lightweight flash. They have not done nearly as much as they could have from the weight perspective on the M5 CS which is what I was pointing to as a disappointment.
IMO the M5 is lost in the middle from a positioning standpoint. Too heavy for the track and too fast to really enjoy on the street. This is actually a problem for most new performance street vehicles now.
