Do you ever get the feeling that people are talking about things on this post way over your head.....? Because I do.

There's still no guarantee that the car in the pictures and video is indeed a CS. We may be getting way in front of ourselves.

Regarding the M3 CS, this means that even if the M3 CS has been finally developed in Garching - complete with M3 CS batch, BMW can of course decide to bring it to the market under another Lable. On the basis of a M3 CS, it would also be easy to bring an M3 CRT to the market in order to avoid the delineation problems mentioned by @mkoesel to the M4 CS regarding the OLEDs. With another, more powerful engine, a CRT seat system, a titanium exhaust system and the M performance springs, the it would be easy to generate a CRT based on the CS, which could then be priced totally different from the M4 CS There are also rumors that the M3 CRT is already finished in Garching. And if you look at the predecessors M3 GTS and CRT, the vehicles can also look completely different. Why should it be completely excluded that the M4 CS outwardly based on the aerodynamic components developed for an M3 CRT and the vehicle in the Spypics is basically a M3 CRT testmule ... would at least explain the pre-LCI 2 headlights, which did not exist in the M4 CS prototypes. Then lets wait and see what we get as last M3 "Sondermodell"! |

Sure. It's spartan like it should be. I am just saying the CRT went in a completely different direction and doesn't share those parts. And has its own special interior too, including the special carbon fiber seats.
Does the M4 CS have any new interior parts? I don't think it does, right? It's all taken from the GTS to the best of my knowledge. Yet, an M3 CS, if it is to have a similar custom interior, would in fact need a few new parts. I guess we could debate this ad infinitum, but my point wasn't to split hairs. We may not agree fully on the semantics, but the fact remains there are unanswered questions about this new M3 variant. Quote:

I think the point is that the E90 M3 CRT and E92 M3 GTS interiors are both bespoke and very different to each other

The issue here is whether it is worth BMWs while creating the same interior for the F80 CS as I presume it won't just be a straight swap? Thinking about it I'm not sure apart from the doors what the differences are in terms of dimensions?

That is what I figure also. Only the front and rear doors cards would be different.

Since the specs in SickFinga's post:
http://f80.bimmerpost.com/forums/sho...9&postcount=88 report that this test vehicle has the standard S55 engine (317Kw), which we can speculate won't hold true for the production car, is it possible this car gets the water injected S55? In other words, could this be the sequel to the CRT - an M3 with the GTS engine and a swanky interior? One big advantage would be that this would allow BMW to be liberal with the pricing ($100k+ USD) and avoid any direct, feature-for-feature comparisons to the M4 CS. |

Sure, but earlier you (or maybe it was Gatte, I get you two confused sometimes) were putting a whole lot of emphasis on the "M3 CS" badge that another test vehicles supposedly out there roaming about has on it's rear.
So which is it? If this product diverges from the M4 CS content in all the ways we are speculating, it doesn't really make any sense to call it an M3 CS. |

I can only state things based on what I see now. Everything else will be what we call speculation, which is what you say you and a few others are doing. |

It looked a little more composed through that first corner than the Bentley!
