Based off GTS ratios for AUS vs ROW I would say around 35-50.

I heard a rumor that it's around 35 units but nothing confirmed.

i can't work out the value prop on either end

40k more expensive than a comp pack f80 for a gts hood, front lip and wang

but then only 10k less expensive than an m4 cs without the door trims or oled tails (which iirc are way above 10k as a spare part)

If they can rip $35k on Pures then why not on a 3CS?

Remembering my 30Jahre with ccbs was circa $185 otr RRP, if you got a CS for $170 with ccbs I’d be on it.

After driving the M4 CS at the launch event - BMW has nailed to perfection the damping on that car. It was perfect.

Drove it on a track or Aussie B road?

The shock/spring hardware is unchanged, so it'd be all in the tuning which afaik can be VO coded

Through pit lane was pretty bumpy and over the apex and similar bumpy bits at speed in sport plus.

Seemed much improved to me. But you are right - need and drive down parramatta road in sport plus to really test.

You sure know how to make friends player, lol

And that 30Jahre didn’t have CCBs and hadn’t sold in ‘16 so they were offering factory support for the last of the 30 Aus cars in 2017, so your point is? Another forum member here has one, he paid that sort of money so all good.

At the end of the day, if you are happy with standard factory paint and leather then all good. I like something a little different, knowing I won’t see a photocopy anywhere in my state is something I appreciate in all cars I buy.

Not trying to offend, but often my 2 cents falls out of my mouth with a bit of liquid encouragement What is the street price people are paying for M4CS? Just seen a San Marino at my country town dealer. Rep said it's the dealers own, and still has his 30 Jahre.

Hi sorry to revive an old thread but I'm wondering if anyone knows the answer to this question now?
Planning to move to Aus and feeling a bit of a temptation to shop for one but I'd like to know how many there are.

Been trying to find this out also.

For reference, there were only 211 right hand drive M3 CS produced.

So would say around 30 would have made it down under.

Would need a roll call to confirm!
