New M3 CS Owner

bordins · 06-15-2018, 06:50 PM

Last Fridays evening after 5 months I finally got my new M3 CS San Marino Blu.
I drove the car only 30Km.
This week the car is being treated by the detailer and tomorrow for the installation of the side skirts (Rw Carbon).

I can't wait for Sunday to start "testing" the new toy!!
Before my car was a regular M3 F80 (m.y.2015) and I drove it for 80.000km, I'm curious to find the differences from the old one (handling in particular).

This evening I took some pictures...

and other pics taken (by iPhone) when car arrived from my dealer and during treatment form the detailer this week...

Congrats! What a great color.

After seeing your front wheel gap, I feel much better. Mine is '18 ZCP and it's about the same.

FatRear08 · 06-15-2018, 07:13 PM

That’s blue alright!!! Much luck to you!

jondaman · 06-15-2018, 07:54 PM

Damn, that San Marino Blu is awesome! Great choice.

Does it still have shipping blocks still in the front. Gap looks huge.

I picked up the car from the dealer without any bodywork preparation and had it transported directly from the detailer (with blocks on the front and rear bumper)

Pictures were taken outside the detailer's garage without blocks but car don't run on the road after having removed them.

I think Sunday I'll use the car and front gap
will be reduced (specially in front)... I remember my old M3 F80 m.y. 2015 and it was lower

Absolutely gorgeous! I wish the CS was offered through the military program I got mine through.

Brasko · 06-16-2018, 09:18 AM

Congrats on the new ride!

If you decide you want a center console/armrest I'd be happy to swap with you.

uniqueMR · 06-16-2018, 06:18 PM

Congrats. Beautiful color. Enjoy

bordins · 06-17-2018, 10:04 AM

Yesterday evening we just finish to install the carbon side skirts (bought from a USA producer)... they fit perfectly with front lip and the CS look (for me Bmw should provide it OEM)

P.S. Sorry for the bad pictures (with smartphone)

Aaaaaaaaa · 06-17-2018, 12:53 PM

Time for an iPhone CS

Congrats and I hate you

Congrats! Would you share some first impressions

Yes for sure, but now the car have only 59km, next tuesday I’ll drive for about 900km (in 1 day) to go to the M track day 2018 at Misano Circuit in Italy.

I can’t wait to finish first 2000km and after service start to drive more seriously and find any differences from my previous M3 F80 m.y.2015

I share my impressions next days...

Non, io non guido mia macchina nella pista. Ho un incidente a gennaio a Monza con mio 2015 M3. Guido solo sulla strada adesso.

Buon track day!

Ciao, si ma non si va con la propria auto... negli M track Days si usano le auto di BMW con istruttore a fianco ed è gratuito, ma possono partecipare solo i possessori di auto M (lo fanno una volta all'anno).
