[2024M3CS]

     Featured on BIMMERPOST.com

Hello,

I wanted to provide some feedback on picking up my M3 CS. I had to make a decision to purchase last week and I had a hard time finding feedback from folks who have actually taken delivery.

My decision was trading in a 2021 Porsche 911 Carrera 4 on it, which is a car I really enjoy, and I was quite hesitant.

Bottom line... No regrets. This car is amazing to drive; little road noise, has tremendous feel, not harsh at all, and is a freaking monster. I had a 2018 Carrera 4 GTS and it pulls way harder than that at 3/4 throttle. Also the CS handles unbelievably, I have found myself shocked at the speeds into corners.

For comparison, I also had a 2022 BMW M4 Xdrive coupe and I never felt like it was a $90k car. It just didn't feel special to me. Don't get me wrong a very nice car but..... The M3 CS feels unique and special.

My only complaint. The unattractive front carbon fiber lip/spoiler. It makes the car way too low and more than likely will get damaged. I don't think it will take a speed bump and is at least an inch lower than my 911. To me it's pointless and unattractive and cuts back the usability of driving this car more. I am exploring how to take it off, if you can, and its not held on my adhesive.

I hope this helps some out there trying to make a decision. BTW mine is black with gold wheels, my preferred combo.

All the best!

This is great! Thanks for the feedback. Cannot wait for mine! Also- nice username.

[M3fanatic23]

Congratulations!!! Looks amazing!! Thanks for the feedback. Since you had a m4, how would you compare the both? Is it a big difference?

[2024M3CS]

I was surprised how different it felt to the M4. Felt much more substantial and much more powerful. I was quite surprised. It really felt like a different car all together.

[BzsBimmer]

There were some concerns that this transmission might be jerky like the CSL. Not sure you’ve had a chance to drive the CSL to compare, but have you felt any jerkiness to the shifts?
ScullyD Anything to add for OP to compare to?

[Emtoo]

Congratulations! Can you elaborate on how strong the engine feels and any characteristics of it vs the other cars that you mentioned?

[bwoodahl]

Awesome decision, awesome car. Congrats. What are the back seats like? Just like CSL? aka helmet holder

Congrats!

Back seat is normal M3 maybe a little less with the carbon front backs. The transmission I felt absolutely no jerkiness, it is dialed in. Not quite a Porsche PDK but it is very very good.

Thank you for the review and congratulations!
The CS does look to be a bit lower than a regular G80/G82.

2024M3CS Did you happen to pick it up from Albany in GA? 😂

[SeanWRT]

Good color choice! CS engine has way more power than the comp, not just 40hp diffence.

And I agree the spoiler is pointless and stupid.

Any dyno/facts that confirm this?
