Here in USA an M3 CS In white frozen with CCB gets really close to the price of an M5 CS. I’m curious to see if I’m the only one here to believe it’s going to be hard to say which is better and why.

M5 CS

I think it depends on the buyers aim. The G80 CS is a lot more edgy (love it or hate it) and you can’t deny that the looks are much more pronounced than that of the M5 CS.

I’m sure there are a lot more livable details in the M5 such as cup holders and what not, but it is a larger vehicle.

I would also think that it’d be hard to find an M5 CS without an ADM or it being near fully optioned. With that said, can you really find a M5 CS at the same price point as a M3 CS?

When I was taking in accoun the M5 CS, I found a metal gray with 8k miles on for $135 K. The Tires needed to be replaced, but the vehicle was okay. The total for the M3 CS that I ordered is 1k less.. so an M5 Cs with less miles on would cost $10k more.

what ultimately swayed you to the M3 vs the M5?

A couple of reasons:

1) the M3 has new car comes with 3yy warranty.

2) as new model I’m expecting at the very beginning will be more desirable keeping the value higher at the very beginning.

I’m a poor driver so the performance is not really a variable

4 yr warranty

$134k for an M3 is nuts. And you are considering value?

Good, I wasn’t aware they were 4 years. 👍🏻

The M2 CS is over $100k. I’m under the impression the M5 cs has been underpriced compare to other Countries, and now it’s loosing value. Which I don’t understand why since it’s one of the best sedan, if it’s not the best one.

These are great cars, just crazy expensive.

My personal favorite is the RS6 Avant. But I’ll wait and get a used one when they start depreciating (understanding that it’s possible that won’t happen).

Not sure it matter watch something costs in another country.

There are 4 M5 CS on cars.com in the US. It’s so so good to drive, if you find one that wasn’t lowered or abused, it’s just possibly the best car BMW ever made. It’s so interactive and feels m2 cs small.

I suspect one day it will be unobtainable.

Go M5 CS all the way. It's the King of sedans, for now.........

[jm490]

M5 CS is renowned worldwide as one of the best driving sedans ever made and one of the best M cars ever. It’s design is timeless and it’s performance is insane while also being a super comfy daily. For the same price with some low mileage on the M5CS it should be a pretty easy decision. They will be much harder to get in the future. With that being said I think the M3CS is going to be incredible as well. If it was me I would get the M5CS and wait on reviews and some to go on the market afterwards and if you really want to switch then you probably won’t lose much at all by doing so but I would go on to guess that if I got the 3 I would wish I had gotten the 5 but not vice versa.

I’m sure if I looked harder I could find the answer but how many M2CS, M5CS and M3CS (planned) for North America?

Thanks for sharing your thoughts.
I really hope the M3 Cs Will be an amazing sedan

[wavyyyy]

I’d get M5CS if I could afford it.
M5CS>M4CSL>M3CS for me personally.

You forgot the M2 CS 🤭

[BGM-M3COMP]

M5CS all day

[Evinrude1975]

Ouch! I’m afraid I took the wrong decision choosing the M3CS 😞

Avg asking for an M5 CS on Autotrader is $165k for a used car (mileage range of 22miles on up to 7,800 miles - the one with 22 miles is listed for $184k). I get that its revered as the best sedan ever, however, until you find a decent one (not abused) priced at $130k then its not an apples for apples comparison.

There still is at least a $30k diff between the M3 and M5 CS'!

Keep the M3 CS! I plan to add mine to the garage alongside my 2020 M5 comp. Near best of all worlds!

There is a gap between what they ask and what the offer is. Check the on line auctions. I’ve been monitoring the market and I can tell you the difference can be around $10k, it’s a lot of money, but in terms of % not so relevant.

My understanding was that there were 400 M5 CS allocated to the US. However, I heard that less were actually produced.

I have had zero luck getting actual official numbers though.
