They already had the lightweight door cards from the GTS, so they used that on the M4cs. However, since these would not fit the 4-door M3, they took the 30jahre edition interior for the M3cs.

The only true unique parts are the front CF splitter and rear deck Gurney flap.
That's what I was saying, they already had both versions, so it was just a matter of working it into the production like anything else. They were already charging a hefty premium for those here (tried to anyway) so they may as well of given people a choice on it.

I guess strange from a stated mission part or something like that. If the CS was supposed to be a more track focused/special car yada yada, why the difference between the M3/4 CSs? I remember the marketing talking about them as part of cutting the weight etc. It couldn't of been that hard or expensive to make cardboard cutouts for the M3 CSs.

Ah fun to rehash old arguments from the past.
