All the little weight saving measures are a waste if the car still feels numb and too refined for a sports car.

And the wheels are boring.

Love that San Marino Blue

Awesome news about M3 CS. I just meant it looks like there are scratches but it's a reflection

[ModestV8]

Overall looks very nice.

If I had to knit pick, not feeling the wheel gap either or that front lip spoiler.

No, its just the way the light is being reflected from the floor tiles and over head strip lights on the stand.


Now I was at another auto makers stand, and I was surprised to see a big crease/dent(six inche) in the left rear quarter panel. I guess they knew of the damage bc the car was placed near a display on that side - which made it harder to see the damage.

X5M probably has less wheel gap than this. No 6MT but looks good

Is that a handle strap? Or is it a door pull strap similar to the Porsche GT cars?

It'd make more sense if it was a door pull strap.

It's the door pull.

M-Performance 763M wheels are Satin-Black. The ones on the CS are Orbit-Grey. This has been announced since the launch press release .

I agree. IMO, the CS should come standard with the M-Performance HAS.

Next gen most likely. I highly doubt there will be an F80 CS.

CS comes with grey 763's, the retail wheels are black indeed.

Constant of BMW....Horrendous wheel gap.

It's not like in Porsches where the strap is attached to the door unlatching mechanism, in a Porsche when you pull on the strap it opens the door and then you can also pull on it to close the door. In the M4 CS and M4 GTS, you still have the normal metal door handle to open the door with and this strap is fixed, you only use it to close the door again.

It's a little far forward and there is no other handle on the door panel so it's kind of annoying to open the doors without worrying about them opening too far into the car parked next to you. I spent a lot of time in an M4 GTS a month or two ago and found this to be annoying but not as annoying as having nowhere to rest my arm on longer drives.

The gap looks high even for a stock M4 perhaps it's still on its transport blocks (but I doubt that would happen) MP HAS would solve the issue for anyone put off by that.

That's what I'll do to mine. But I still think the CS should have come with the MP-HAS as part of the package .

Not it's not, they take the blocks out. Yes, that's the regualar high.
