G80 M3 CS Leaked Pics!!

GoldfishTX · 01-19-2023, 05:28 PM

It will be interesting to see if these end up on the market at MSRP given the current state of interest rates and recession fears. I hated calling dealers for my M3CX, but maybe I'll have to start that up again. Ugh.

Would really like to pick one of these up if the msrp isn’t crazy. Granted doesn’t seem like they will be available to get. To bad this one would of pulled me back to a bmw.

Disappointing looks, and I’m not surprised BMW did nothing but add CSL bits. D

Driving dynamics and if it’s a huge departure from the normal G80 will be key here. The M5 CS was heralded as one of the best recent BMW’s in many driving aspects, if BMW can manage the same for the G80 then I might have reason to dump mine.

FISH22 · 01-19-2023, 07:09 PM

Surprised that the rear spoiler seems like a standard carbon one. Figured the CS version would be more aggressive. Anyone seeing that, or am I crazy?

If you buy a 4 sedan with electric buckets and 4WD, it should be driven everyday.

It does not exactly scream I am going to lap a base 911.

the dash is not exactly awesome looking. Bit like a TV screen and a joystick.

Lots of guys are dumping g8x cars in all forms...

X2, plenty, I mean plenty of low miles G80/81s to be had near me. The largest dealer had 20 at some point. Now 12. Just wait...

There is a problem with the console mounted lever between the seats...Seriously M, please give this car an optional MT. One last statement about BMW and M values. After this, I know there is no choice.

gemini.m3 · 01-20-2023, 01:38 AM

What's really interesting to me is how this lines up with the supposed LCI in 24.. Special edition or not, imagine dropping 130k+ on this thing just to have the competition model look vastly and maybe better looking than the CS.. I think extending production of the car past 2025 is a mistake

I'd like to see that hood on Portimao Blue or some other blues... with just the carbon accents - I think it would look dope and I would consider adding that to my 22 I plan to keep.

Tell her, if I have to choose between you and the car I will choose the car every time. She will be shocked and then completely back down.

You're welcome.

Not really a valid argument, as you could easily spec a G8x over $100k. And it still wouldn’t be a CS.

The lack of cupholders is a letdown.

If your over 40 you might remember these

Your realistically looking at a 110 base, at most 120K depending if ceramics are standard or not,

anything more wouldn't make sense

The parts are now made and trickling down, this wont have the trunk which is 20K from bmw and the taillights.

Its a m3 with some extra juice, csl cosmetic parts etc, if im wrong im wrong but my guess is steady on that 110-120K for these to make sense

Talk to anyone that has driven both a 2018 M3CS and a M3 comp. (I have) . The driving dynamics are significant. It's not just the extra juice and a few cosmetic parts.

Chassis, suspension, and differential tuning were all CS specific. M performance exhaust, light weight wheels specific to the CS. Carbon weave hood, special interior bits. They all added up to a superior track oriented M3.

This is FAR from accurate. A few cosmetic parts do not make a CS.

This car may also be what the aftermarket drag racers needed to bring the car into basement 9s ok stock turbos and potentially mid 8s FBO.. Can't wait for this machine to be released. ✨✨

I'd be stunned if the CS is 220lbs lighter than an M4 Comp X-Drive. The M5 CS was only 70KG lighter than an M5 Comp and they had bucket seats in the back of that car. And the starting point was a heavier car in the first place (i.e. an M5 is heavier than an M3). It will definitely be lighter and have its own suspension tune and with X-Drive will be quicker to 60 than an M4 CSL but I think a weight loss of 220lbs is very unlikely.

They said it about the M2CS, then they said it about the M5CS, aaaand they said it about the M4CSL.

It was only a matter of time they would be saying it about the M3CS.

Soooooo much blah blah! Makes my head spin 🥱🥱
