Frozen white looks great! I'd probably go Brooklyn Grey and Matte PPF it.

Thanks for sharing!
I think so too. Works better with the red bits for sure.

You could option the CSL without the red highlights,and they are just stickers that are easily peeled off with a heat gun.

Effectively both cars look pretty similar.

To me, that single detail makes the CS look way better. The stripes contrast with the hood nicely. I actually like that frozen white better on the CS than white on a "normal" G80-G82. The splitter and stripes frame the grille much better in my eyes and add proportionality.

They change between white and yellow, presumably due to laws permitting white lights only when driving.

This spec (or with the gold wheels) is slowly changing my mind about the CS. This is stunning. Much more pleasing than the green. I still don't have too much of a FOMO feeling about it, but yeah, this is much better looking than the Signal Green press shots.

What single detail makes the CS look way better? They are identical cars, just peel the stickers off of the CSL if you don’t want them.

Here is the CSL without the stickers.

Needs more rear wing flair. Way too weak. F80/2 they nailed it.

Been trying to visually acquiesce to that front end spotting them in the streets of Los Angeles, but by now with the best versions released in CS/CSL, I just won’t ever warm up to it. Hard pass this G gen for me.

Enjoy yours!

A part of me is pissed off this is not offered in a 6 speed manual.

I’ve driven a DCT on a test drive not agressively so it just felt like an automatic

I know you can tune a 6MT but it won’t be a real CS.

Most of the time I’m just driving like a pedestrian so it’s still engaging to drive the 6 speed.

I would drive the CS the same.

I just wonder if the power and driving dynamics are felt at normal everyday driving.

At what point would you start to notice you’re in something special from a driving perspective

I would perhaps need an aggressive sounding exhaust. Perhaps a super responsive throttle. Razor sharp steering

Would be cool to own something special like a CS

My experience with the M2 CS, I knew I was in something special in the first few hundred feet behind the wheel. That’s how different it felt to a regular M2.

M5 CS drivers have said the same thing.

With the M4 CSL, the cabin makes you feel special instantly. The special steering feel doesn’t come until you really push the car imo.

Yeah i mean, grab an M5 CS before you grab an M3 CS with mark-up. But don't grab an M5C over an M3 CS.

I agree, and easy enough fix. Was surprised that it looks like the standard carbon spoiler from the G8x.
