CanAutM3 stupid question, but if my square Apex
19x9.5 et22 w/255/35/19 Alpin winter setup works on my 2018 M3ZCP, it should also fit fine with a 2018 M3CS, correct? Steel brakes on both

Yes, they will fit. It is essentially the same car.

No worries. There's no such thing as a "stupid question"

Congrats . You'll enjoy it, it's a fantastic machine

Dealer is having a hard time finding another dealer to trade their AW M3CS for a SMB M3CS, one of my most favorite BMW blues. However, the deal is just ridiculously good and I may have to "settle" for white. As I plus, I guess it is less common

I thought the deal wasn't good so you were looking at m2s? What kind of deal are they offering?

BMW Annapolis says they have an SMB M3CS in stock. 102k knocked down to 90k on their site. They are pretty good at beating those advertised prices as well.

Dealers do not want '18s sitting on their lots. A $12,000 discount is the SMALLEST discount you should accept.

$12,000 - $15,000 off of MSRP is definitely our there. I just picked one up a few weeks ago and they were advertising over $12k on their website. That was just the starting point.

Everything changed!
I'd rather not share the deal just yet, don't want to jinks it, it's that crazy!!
I pick up Tues if everything continues to go according to plan.

[f80er]

I was going to look at the SMB at Annapolis today. Is that the one you are trying to trade for?

And @GNALUZU what kind of deal did you get?

[indesj01]

I can't decide i love the CS but also the M5 comp.

Was there ever an answer on whether the M Drivers Package on these included the track day?

They do. I got the invite card a few weeks ago after picking up in October.

For those of you guys that have the CS, are you using it as a daily driver? how is the ride comfort compared to the standard M3 or M3 w/comp package.

I daily mine, but only have 400 miles on it so far. I never drove the normal or comp pack M3 so don't have much to compare against.

I came from an X5 and a F10 M5 before that. The CS is definitely a firm ride, but I absolutely love it.

The whole point of me getting into ///M cars since my first E46 in 2001 is to serve the dual duty of practical daily driver and track toy. I can't speak for the M3cs, but I do 4-season daily drive my M4cs, which is lighter and more stiffly sprung than the M3cs, and it is perfectly comfortable for the DD.

The M4cs suspension is stiffer than my 2015 M4 was, but it has much better damping, which makes the suspension feel much more refined. The Comfort setting is just perfect for the daily drive, sporty and compliant at the same time. On my '15, I used to limit the use of Sport+ for for the track only and avoided it on the street as it was just too stiff and bouncy on irregular surfaces. Sport+, while quite stiff, now works perfectly fine on the street with my M4cs and is preferred "sporty" street setting.

Thank you, Appreciate the responses.

After thinking Comfort Access was a deal killer, I studied the car more and more and became ok with lack of CA so got the car last night.

Nice. Same spec as the car I'm trying to get. I'm not too worried about the comfort access.

While the lack of comfort access requires some adaptation (I'm not even fully adapted yet even after 3 months in ), the car has so much more to offer.

We seem to share an interest in tracking. I track my cars once a months at least and I know you tracked your CS on the Apex EC-7 18s. I'd like to pick your brain on the right setup. I'll post in the other thread in the tracking forum.
