M4 to M3 CS

pomsaeng · 03-02-2019, 08:39 PM

Hi guys! Just traded in my Alpine White 2016 M4 ZCP for a San Marino Blue 2018 M3 CS!!!

Getting married soon and thinking about kids in the near future. I know car seats are doable in a coupe but don't want to deal with it. Also, I've always liked how the M3 looked vs. the M4.

Biggest adjustment...going from a 6MT to DCT. So far I'm enjoying it but I imagine I will miss rev matching and etc. at some point (my left foot already feels around for a non existent pedal when coming to a stop).

Some shots from the stealership:

Guess they will be riding in the wife's car then!

Congrats on the CS. As far as the no rear ventilation goes, i doubt it'll be an issue.

Only on really hot or cold days. Some nice window blinds and circulating air should cover it though on hot days and a blanket on cold 😊

There's still HVAC being fed to the rear seating area from under the front seats. Only the center console rear vents are gone with the CS.

Congrats. Beautiful car and color. Enjoy.

Congrats OP. Enjoy the car in good health. No HVAC ventilation in the rear is a non-issue. You know they once, in the not too distant past, made vehicles without it?
