Hey all,

We are back again with another amazing build we had the pleasure of working on while the team were out in the states!

Sam originally spoke to us while we were still in London and the team arrived in the states traveled across state to meet the guys at our good friends PQ performance's workshop.

This is the first M3CS we have had the pleasure of working on and I think the touches really compliment the car.

Sam went for:

Nice build good pictures

Great photo shoot.
As always these cars are slow burners.
As time passes they make more sense, especially when R44 sprinkle a little magic over it.

csboi · 11-17-2023, 03:07 PM

Best looking example of the newly minted CS, great photos too.

Crazy build! The fender badges and engine cover, in particular, are just over the freaking top!

NotSharocks · 11-17-2023, 03:16 PM

How come every time I'm at Angeles Forest, all I see are dumbass folks riding bicycles slowly?

SMH.

Car actually looks good, in black.

spademonkey · 11-17-2023, 03:17 PM

Nice simple build, very clean.
Will be interesting to see if anyone does do a "crazy" build in the future with one of these with actual coilovers, functional aero, real power upgrades, etc. Should definitely happen in time.

ErikJ1 · 11-17-2023, 03:34 PM

I need those fender badges..

KANdaddy · 11-17-2023, 05:20 PM

Wow. The same mods that 99.9% of people do to their M3s. So crazy.

cfm56d7b · 11-17-2023, 06:33 PM

Fantastic build. The wheels alone need a separate photo shoot. Sharp!

Boogie2121 · 11-17-2023, 07:28 PM

Greatest generation M3. Crazy how amazing platform is.

818M3 · 11-17-2023, 08:47 PM

Very nice build.

Someone with way too much money to burn. If you are going to do all that, might as well start with an M3 Comp (or base if you want the 6spd).

M3 CS is great as is, but I can appreciate this build.

spademonkey · 11-17-2023, 09:17 PM

Oh of course. With the M’s we definitely have to pay to play, and the M tax is HEFTY. The only thing I miss about my old car is prices for Mustang GT parts 😩

Blindside_137 · 11-18-2023, 11:30 AM

Looks great. If it was me the 827 in gold would be my wheel of choice.

Mapper · 11-18-2023, 11:41 AM

Nice touches!

When is there going to be a replica of the CS front splitter?

GOLFFRR · 11-18-2023, 01:16 PM

thats tricked out! nice job! beast mode

It sounds like it’s because you don’t understand what a public road is, SMH. Probably frustrating to be such a dumbass.

jjr.95 · 11-19-2023, 01:45 AM

Beauuuutttiiful build. Really impressive. These pictures are amazing but I’m sure are an understatement compared to seeing this M3CS in person 🔥 great job!

Was thinking the same - didn’t understand the crazy on this. Looks amazing though!

So cool working on one of these, definetly can't wait to see more of them! Not many people modding them also.
