G80 M3 CS Spied! Updated With Video

solstice · 05-13-2022, 01:37 PM

Is this M3 CS more or less a 4 door CSL? I thought the CSL would be way higher in the food chain but I’m not so sure now looking at this.

I looks like it might have a different design fender 'breathers'.

Usually the covered bits are either new updates, or to cover new things around updates parts, or just there to cover something else, like the back door windows.

The DRL's on that look good (from what I can see) and look similar to the current DRL's. Saw rumors on the g20 forum that MY23 would have DRL's that go above the lights and am not a fan.

G80 M3 CS appears to have been accelerated from July to March 2023. The powertrain is confirmed to match M4 CSL. However, while M4 CSL is RWD, M3 CS will be AWD.

I'm also guessing fewer CF goodies, fewer aero tweaks, and not as limited / expensive.

For real lol. These new generations are no longer bmws. Idec about the rumors anymore

You can't beat a good ol F8x M3/M4, with either DCT or 6MT, they're fun as hell.

jct_m3 · 05-13-2022, 03:04 PM

i'm thinking maybe some rear bucket seats

Siren_G · 05-13-2022, 03:14 PM

I'm looking forward to an M3 CS Touring, now that would be

Here's how the CS/CSL grille looks on a non-camo'd car. (Autotecknic made the grille)

what do they do with the prototypes afterwards?

Vigilant · 05-13-2022, 06:16 PM

Funny…looks just like my G80 xdrive comp…for about 50 thousand more!

Depending on what they are and what stage of development used for:

• Crushed
• Vault Storage
• Deep Storage for 25 years
• Retained for continuing development
• Security Driver Training Program

G30M · 05-13-2022, 06:58 PM

apologies if has been mentioned

any ideas on difference in power, torque, and weight?

do you think the Touring will have 3 different versions - base, competition and then later a CS appearing?

Touring will be a single variant based on the below thread.

It definitely looks like there is a more defined hood. You can see a hard ridge in a couple of those shots.

Neptune7 · 05-13-2022, 09:07 PM

Take the M3 CS hood with its vents, put it on the M3 wagon, and you have a sex symbol in the making.

I was going to do the Vorsteiner grill but now I’m going to have to go for the Autotecknic.

Purekoryo · 05-14-2022, 05:44 AM

Really hope steering feedback will be markedly improved.
