G80 M3 CS Spied! Updated With Video

JCZ5 · 05-19-2022, 10:28 AM

Great! Looks like a direct swap from the aggressively bolstered M4 CSL seats. I think that was expected and I'm happy BMW decided to change it up slightly from the current racing buckets.

Now if only they can allow users to spec a leather steering wheel…

Since the M3CS is after the regular 3 series LCI, I wonder if it will have the toggle gear selector vs. what you see currently.

I just posted a pic above of the M3 interior, its got the same G80 shifter still. I heard BMW said the shifters will stay in the M’s, while the toggle will streamline the regular models interiors.

little confused, so is this the same as the M4 CSL? But with 4 doors?

So the m3 cs tailgate is coming like the m4 csl tailgate or its only spoiler upgraded?!

Are you sure that's the CS interior? I'd expect a lot more alcantara and badging.

of course it's not, it's just the LCI interiror/G81 interior.

I was just answering the question of the shifter still being in the M3 LCI and M3CS and not the 3 series LCI toggle shifter, that yes the shifter will still be there. I corrected my statement of CS but the shifter isn’t going away.

Interesting the back seat is covered… rear buckets like the M5 CS perhaps?

The rear seats in the F80 M3 CS absolutely fold down.

The sharkfin antenna cover seems to be revised, interesting.

Makes sense

Am eagerly waiting for the official announcement and ordering one. I guess it will be announced next month? Or maybe I got that wrong. If the rear are bucket seats, it will be so cool.

There's probably already a wait list dating back to earlier this year if not last year.

I put my deposit down for the M3cs way back in March, only to be told there's already someone ahead of me on the wait list and the dealer isn't expecting more than 1 allocation.

Fuckin unfoldable rear seat buckets in a sedan are so stupid.
