Not sure I follow you here .

The only "visual adds" on the GTS are the orange accents. All the other bits are functional.

The only item that is "visually similar" to the GTS is the hood. Wheels, splitter, rear deck spoiler are all different. There will be no mistaking a CS from a GTS.
The GTS is an awesome package but too over the top to drive everyday as it is obviously a track car was my only point. GTS wing and super low front splitter would be hard to live with daily. The CS is more appealing to me overall to track and drive to work.

also if you look the hood more closely on the profile side, its not the gts hood. its the normal m4 hood but with the airhole like the gts. the gts hood its much more pronounced from the side it looks like a mountain. on the CS it looks flat. thats not the gts hood 100%

x2

Though the best move, for me at least, would be to buy a ZCP that's already depreciated and retrofit the CS stuff if possible.

The depreciation on one or two year old M3/4's is crazy lol

The M4 is as wide as the M3. Its flared fenders look a bit less dramatic because its average width is greater than the M3.

Let's go ahead and discuss this particular badly beaten horse in a different thread if you want to continue, Ok? I'll even look up the link in a minute if you can't find it yourself.

Don't confuse with the Spain only M4CS that wears the M-Performance CF wing (same wing as the DTM edition).

I'd like to do another Euro Delivery if jumping into another order, but wouldn't do it for a standard F80 or ZCP - I like my car enough I'd keep it over those options most likely. A CRT may sway my pocketbook.

I'm a little tired of BMW changing the car every year. I would at least like my car to be current for a year before wanting to switch. I feel like BMW has gone the mobile phone model, and makes you want/need a new one annually. And even if you wait until the end of the model year, they announce the next gen, and at that point you might as well wait. Endless cycle.

I guess that's why there are aftermarket parts!

The reason I ask is because the M4 CS (Spain) did not get the GTS hood and did not have the water injection. This one got the GTS hood and so it could be that it has the GTS engine.
The spanish M4 CS was an project only from BMW Spain not from the M-GmbH, the shown new M3 CS is an regular project from the M-GmbH and would most probably come with an more hp-engine ... rumors going from 475PS to 500PS.
Since the S55 is allready at its hp-limits, its clear that the 500PS couldn´t be reached without water-injection ... the question is whats about the 475PS.
How is the s55 at its HP limit already?? I find this very hard to believe

Except the 911R and this (or any iteration of the F82) are so incredibly philosophically worlds apart...
