I take my mountain bike on a trail nearby my house at times. These days I see people zooming through the trail on their motorized bikes. Sh*t they go fast as hell and does look fun at times, but would I get on one of those motorized ones? Hmmmm... nah. Am I a grandpa? Uh... no. Probably younger than you, frankly. |

Maybe I'm missing it but I didn't see anything in the press release about a CF hood. I figured it would be mentioned in the weight savings paragraph, but it's not there.
Is it possible that we're going to have a non-CF, GTS look alike hood available for purchase through OEM?? That'd be tits.

I'm 29 and i've only owned stick. Autos put me to sleep. Do not get the appeal of the DCT at all, considering most guys don't track their cars. The stop and go traffic argument holds some merit, but still not worth the slight increase in comfort vs the total loss of driving engagement. But that's just me |

Oh wait it's actually not a race car. It's limited edition GT car where the focus is supposed to be on driver enjoyment. I guess if numbers on paper increase our enjoyment then yes I totally get that. But I would suspect less than 1% of us here on the boards laps a specific track often enough and well enough to actually see reduced lap times from a dct transmission versus more engaging manual transmission. You realize how absurd it is to want to get the fastest possible transmission over a more fun transmission when you aren't even a competitor? If you were really interested in lap times the first thing you'd do is sell the ridiculous wheels and get 18" lightweights with r comps. That alone would make you much quicker than a transmission swap. This CS is ridiculous and barely improves the formula to warrant what will be an enormous price tag. It will undoubtedly sell out but BMW clearly phoned it in on this one. It's just lazy at this point. But good for them it will market well and sell out.

The strange thing is that Scott26 said in an earlier post that the M4 CS was getting a new BMW blue color.

Let's see if the official car is close to these renders I've done a couple of months ago... http://f80.bimmerpost.com/forums/sho....php?t=1343528
I speculated that it would have the M4 GTS hood and rear Oleds but there were quite some skeptical people about these. Also it would be a big disappointment if were not offered with a manual. Even Porsche realised the error and offered that option in their new GT3...

Except I won't say the CS is ridiculous... because so many people called the M4 GTS the same. The simple fact is that there IS a market for multiple versions of sports cars today. Stock - M4 - sporty, luxurious version of the 4 series M4 Comp pack - slight performance bump and minor cosmetics M4 CS - additional performance but DCT for the " wanna go faster " types M4 GTS- technological tour de force - full on track car I just hope that BMW decides to follow the same for the M2 (with no comp pack likely). stock M2- sporty version of the M2 M2 ZL9- slight performance bump (suspension only) and minor cosmetics M2 CS - additional performance but DCT for the " wanna go faster " types M2 GTS - just put a window sticker on the M2 safety car - I just hope that an M2 GTS gets handicapped with a manual so that it doesn't outperform the M4 GTS. |

I wonder how extensive Club Sport models will be across the M vehicle lineup.
