Since you’re new to the BMW world, make sure it’s actually a “CS”. Unfortunately most dealer listings claim “CS” when in reality are “Competition” trim.

Regardless, congrats and welcome.

Congrats on purchasing a truly fantastic vehicle! I seem to love mine more and more as time goes by. For mods, the common consensus is less is better for the CS cars really. The cars come setup wonderfully from the factory. I might have gone a bit farther than most CS owners but I'm basically done now. Check out my account for a link to my build thread to give you some ideas.

Congrats on the CS. Phenomenal car in stock form. Suspension tuning is great but can improved with a MCS 2/3/4WR suspension setup. I personally have the 2WR and the handling and rude quality with F/R 700/1000 lbf/in spring rates is awesome. If you plan on tracking the car I’d consider the Alcon or Essex/AP racing brake kits. 25 mm-thick front pads and lower running costs in the long term.

Congrats on the purchase, pics please.

My advice is to drive the car, enjoy it, explore it and careful not to wreck it with TC off. Once you understand the car and its characteristics, go from there. What I noticed right off the bat, the rear of the car felt wobbly on turn in and some weird undulations based on road condition (canyon runs), I slapped a set of Dinan springs on OEM shocks, lowered the car, conducted a more aggressive alignment/end links/Hotchkis sway bars and that helped but I was still looking for something more adaptable with some customization. I ended up purchasing a set of JRZ coils and never looked back.

Find what you like and dislike and apply your logic from there.
My .02C.
