Minimal weight saving there too, and you're giving up something really useful. I love saving weight as much as the next guy, but when it is so minimal, and when you end up cheapening it and losing functionality in the process? No thanks.
I agree with you on the door panels. Makes sense on the GTS, which is essentially a track car, but why get rid of the door handles and speakers on the CS. All that to save 10 pounds on a car that 99% of buyers will never track.

It's also interesting they they're making it limited production (although they don't mention a number limit only a date limit?)

I understand messaging exclusivity to keep aura and keep price high for the dealers (which means here in California a minimum of a $25,000 "market adjustment"), but it also means they'll lose sales of the model and thus maybe have a less established car line ...

... unless they're planning to establish the line in the used car market?

Just seems like if you're going to go the Porsche route then make these cars available and set the price at high-margin, but kinda feels like they're trying to set the price low and then use exclusivity to get the dealers a high price at the expense of volume and customers.

I'm not sure making things hard to buy will work in what's becoming a new retail world.

Random dude at ⛽️ : hey cool car and color. My sister has the same car in white.

M4 CS dude: no she don't, this is the new M4 CS

Random dude: her car looks the same...*peeks inside* ...yeah, and her interior is nicer and has more stuff, like door handles and sat/NAV XM radio with CD...and nicer wheels, polished not these dull black.

Yes, but those buyers have fat wallets and track/race car driver fantasies playing out in their heads.

I'm pretty surprised by how polarizing this car is for so many. I don't have a strong opinion on it one way or another.

That blue looks Amazing!

Exterior looks good. The wheels are nice for a factory wheel on a production car of this level/type.

Really like the lip, can't wait for vendors to start selling it (and hopefully it doesn't cost an arm and a leg).

I would take the colour, electronic upgrades and the front splitter from the car.
All in all it is better to make aftermarket upgrades for this money and keep the door panels with speakers, make st.1 tune, use forged wider wheels and cup2 tires and aftermarket suspension. The car will be faster at Nurburg and make more fun.
Also interesting if this spoiler can be installed on F80.

Looks very nice. If I was in the market... My M4 can run circles around the CS in its "Civic-esque" state. Liking the wheels a lot -- goes with the carbon bits perfectly. Rather surprised they didn't make the M-Performance (HAS) suspension standard though. She's riding high! LOL.

That guy is a jealous piece of s**t trying to mess with you. A trucker tried acting the same way towards me with a monotone voice but even before the conversation started I saw him eyeing my car as though god sent an angel to greet him. Pathetic.

Took a sec for me to realize that this was hypothetical, but my point is that there is a high distinction between an m4 and a regular 4 series. AMG won't stick out the same way, nor would a panamera turbo compared to a 4s.

Not interested. All I need is a regular M4 with laser lights as an option. They look sooo good.
