The exterior color combo looks fantastic. Thanks for the review. What are your thoughts on the iD8 in this compared with the iD7 in your 4?

Nice car.
Agree on the splitter. CS and CSL. Too low, wide and chunky. There is probably 8 fasteners that hold it on. You would need a different splitter that replaces the factory corner splitters. Factory corner or Alpha A corner pieces would be my choice if you don’t want any front splitter/lip. |

Comp normally shows 470-490whp on dynojet.
Not many 550ps s58 dyno samples available out there, but there is one CSL putting down close to 600whp on dynojet (the only dyno that produce comparable results on different days and locations). I’m not suggesting 100whp differences because we don’t have many enough CSL/CS results to confirm it. It’s similar back in F80/82 days where the CS has actually 30whp over the comp despite of only 10hp difference in rating.

Lol.. I mean you can try and justify your purchase to yourself all you want by saying that “M3 CS is much more substantial car than M3/M4” but that’s bunch of BS. I mean sure CS is an improvement over it but cmon dude, it’s barely that much different! If M4 wasn’t 80k car, CS is definitely not a 120k car 😂😂. Whatever helps you sleep at night I guess lol

Why let it be? His “review” reads like purchase justification to me. And just cuz I don’t have one, doesn’t mean I can’t get one.. I still may but certainly wouldn’t get one based on this though lol

I mean this is a BMW forum, this thread celebrating someone getting their M3 CS. First impressions are interesting. No one promised perfectly unbiased motor journalism here. Including me. Can't wait for my CS, deffo best BMW M car ever made .

Are you upset he got one? It’s okay, if you don’t want one, then you don’t need one either.

Car “feeling special” is very subjective. Even just fact that CS is very limited makes it special in certain way.
I am still waiting on M3 XDrive to be built and I know that car will be special to me. It’s ok if someone feels special about certain model. Like someone said above this is not objective review by car magazine. This is people celebrating special cars to them. |
