This car seems super amazing, I want one but sadly have to settle for the non-CS version.

looks like the 100-200 km/h time is the same as the M5 comp.

CSL definitely feels quicker than the M3 CS.

For the 0 to 100, I would suggest to buy a Tesla. For racing, you may probably need a M4 CSL or a Porsche GT3. If you need is to sit in a comfort and sporty car, go and get the M5. But if you wanna buy a car that you can drive on a daily basis, enjoy on a trak day, and move your family without any particular sacrifice, a car that holds the value.. the M3CS is a great car.

The non-CS version is amazing. The difference is mainly tuning and suspension. Oh yeah, and badging lol

From my anecdotal experience of driving a F8x and the CS of said car, the premium today (plus ADM) being asked for is not worth it. There was a point in time where you could get a F8x CS for $7-$800 a month and that was an absurd steal and deal at the time. Unfortunately those days are over.

Happy to announce I - out of the blue - just got an allocation here in Denmark w no ADM! 1 out of 2. Frozen Solid White Metallic is just an amazing color.
The options were not many but mine has double glazing, privacy glass, electric boot and the M strut. Wheels are black as are the calipers. Full Premium Shield PPF consisting of 160 pieces. Of course, the back of the front seats are covered, too.
Having driven 1,700 km, I can tell you this car feels special and people here go ballistic w telelenses when they see the yellow driving lights.
Time will tell if its worth the premium over the M3C (which I hammered around Zantvoort at BMW M Experience), but at no ADM it was a nobrainer for me.

Interesting… the CSL is very, very fast though. I gave it full beans today (but not in sport mode) and wow! Think I gave the tuned M140i next to me a bit of thrill though 😉. Love those, my Mrs had an M235i when it first came out and I loved it!

Just hope your family never needs a cupholder! No more Happy Meals lol

Also, that description might better apply to a regular M3 IMO.

Congratulations! May I ask how much this car costs in Denmark? Almost afraid to ask.

Had a dealer call me yesterday offering an M3 CS at MSRP. Have a G80 x-drive sitting at port in Germany. Now I have a dilemma. Wasn’t considering the CS initially but the reviews have been really good. I currently have an F87 CS that I’ll sell/trade and I’m afraid I’ll miss the steering and feel of the CS. But not sure I want to pay $25k more to get it with the G80 CS. First world problems…

Hehe, I know! It was 142K $ plus 25% VAT. This is with out addtl tax which is a 150% add on. So, around 400K. BUT most people like myself lease and pay a monthly fee. Which is 10,000 dollars roughly. And I had to put it on plates: BMW does not allow the car just to be stored by a collector, they want it to be registered. They would not even allow me to PPF the car before registration or leaving their premises. Also, was given a non-signed contract by a large German dealer but after I signed the contract, they cancelled out of nowhere. So, happy my local dealer called!

I must be misunderstanding because I think you just said you’re paying $10K a month for this car.
