White M3 CS

[dantm3]

Saw this at my local dealer. Sticker was about 106k... nice car but extra mods didn't wow me over a regular competition package looks wise for the price. Here are the pictures. Surprisingly, they parked it in the dirt and gravel in the way back of the dealer

I love white cars but for some reason it just doesnt work on the CS

Imo , CS should only come in N/C individual colors to justify the price in some sense. They had N/C individuals for the EOP on the f80s..

Agreed. You do get 1 - SMB is a n/c individual color, that's it.

...and SMB is now a standard metallic colour in most parts of the world.

Yea - true SMB is amazing however.

5 colors on a 1200 car run is decent selection. I think CS would look great Yas Blue or Imola Red as well. Would have been a nice extra but typically low production variants only come in a few colors.
E92 GTS - 1 color
F82 GTS - 3 colors edit 4
E46M CSL - 2 colors
E36 LTW - 1 color

So 5 colors for CS is a lot.

I have my own CS/GTS inspired MW f83 M4 build in the works...
Because I like some of the trick pieces that make this car stand out.

I can tell you from experience that it would be far less expensive to buy a CS or GTS than to acquire the parts in order to replicate it (and then when you're done, you will have something that isn't authentic).

It is indeed. My dealer has SMB M3cs in the showroom and it is stunning . It was a close call between LRG and SMB for me, but it is the exclusivity of LRG that swayed it for me (plus, LRG is a no cost option for us in Canada ).

It's actually 4 colours for the M4GTS .

While the M3cs is limited to 1200 units, there will be far more of the M4cs though.

Dichotomy? Yes.

I wanted a hot rodded BMW and my wife's only stipulation is that it HAD to be a convertible!
...Otherwise, I would have purchased an f80 ZCP and quite possibly would have ponied up for the CS had it been available at the time.

...and since we don't have the extra garage space or disposable finances to maintain multiple specialty cars, this is what I have to work with.
Mine isn't a CS or GTS, nor will it ever be (obviously), but I did manage to install a lighter OEM GTS hood, lightweight wheels and lighter OEM carbon ceramic brakes to help lighten the car (as if it really matters) and uniquely differentiate mine from everyone else.

It can even outrun a Miata on the track!

I deleted my post before you posted this reply. After I re-read your original post, I better understood what you are doing, and it is more of a "visual inspiration", which makes sense. I posted a bit too fast. Sorry about that.

Note, some of these Miatas can be pretty darn quick around a track

How many M4CS are estimated when all is said and done?

M4GTS - AW, Mineral Gray , Frozen Gray and oh yes Sapphire Black good catch. Never seen a Black GTS and forgot all about that.

That is quite unclear, but it is produced over a 3-year run, so it can't be "that limited".
