Lowered guys, how is your CS lip holding up?

Not a single rub/scrape ever on the MPHAS setup and it’s lowered as far as the setup will allow. I would like to put the car on coils and go a bit lower, but I think I’m at a good compromise now and will leave as is. It’s nice to not have to slow down on every big dip etc., and MPHAS is essentially worry free. If there’s ever a big dip pulling out of a driveway, parking garage etc., I just go tail first and reverse out to be safe.

I think to most people my car would seem low right now, but in my head it still looks jacked compared to my other cars.

Good question. I’ve been wanting to do something like Scrape Armour. Except their piece is ridiculously expensive.

Honestly, a dark grey sharpie does great for little things like that.

Potential cs owner. I read difference between cs and non but any known issues for cs soley? Also question about the camera. Backup cam is avail. ? Seems like it.

Anyone own or know about this listing can shed some light?

If it checks out history wise, that's a great deal on 1 owner car! From the pics all looks legit to me, but I'd ask them to send you closeup pics of the tail lights to ensure they are OEM and not knockoffs. They certainly look OEM, but you'd want it all documented prior to purchasing. I don't see anything from the pics that raises any red flags.

No known issues solely for CS, and yes they have the backup cam. Buy it, you won't be disappointed in the car!

There a way tell if it’s oem? There a stamp or bmw branding somewhere?

Yep, look for this in my picture below. You could also post the pics here and we could confirm for you. Pictures in the ad look good, but they’re from a distance so hard to tell 100% (though I’m like 99% sure they’re good).

Just fyi, it's not unheard of for prior CS owners to strip the valuable parts from the car, sell them, then trade the car in expecting a dealer not to know the difference (not a big assumption honestly due to the rarity of these cars). There is one white M4 CS floating around out there which has had the OLEDs, door cards, lip, spoiler, and likely some other CS parts removed (the front bumper is also wrong and has the washer nozzles hah). This car you're looking at however certainly does not appear to be that vehicle, as I believe it didn't have ICONs.

QUESTION: It might just be the picture, but from the front on shot of the white car you have provided, there is like a vertical line going down the very center of front chin lip. The CS lip does NOT have that, it is a solid one piece with no line break in the middle. I'm not sure if that's a fake two piece then which meets in the middle, or if it's just a reflection on the carbon in the photo. I would ask about that, I just noticed it when I was looking over the pictures again. The CS lip is $$$, so if it's a rep and that bothers you I'd bring it up and see what they had to say. Good luck.

That awful misaligned bumper cover to hood gap is a clue to investigate too. Assume it was in a front end "event" of some sort and then investigate the details in person. In the best case, it had a bumper cover replacement for a minor incident and was installed poorly and can probably be corrected without too much trouble. In the worst case...

That bumper/hood alignment looks pretty normal if you ask me, and notoriously more noticable at lower camera angles. In any case investigation is always a good thing, just to be safe.

Seems I’m late to the party.

2020 Melbourne Red M4 CS sitting on Frozen Gold 763m and CCB here.

Hmmm does seem be a rep. It’s a clear line and the weave carbon doesn’t seem to same direction 😂. Probably no surprised if replaced but I guess I need fly out to really inspec it …. Was almost thinking buying sight unseen 😅.

Wondering if it should have this gap ? In the side gill feels like something missing ….? Couldn’t see if other side had it but will ask if it’s supposed too. Circled in red.

Wow, that’s a terrible rep! Weave not going the same direction looks terrible.

Red circled gap is standard, no issue there. However, there should be little vents in that gap. I don’t see them in the photo but they just might not be showing up. If no vents, likely a front end collision and bumper was replaced shoddily.

Not sure what the hell is going on with the front lip, but not good. As stated above, the OG lip is $$$

Definitely missing vent on the driver side. Look at the left and right side. Also attached a pic of what it should have.

Most likely front end damage. Lip was replaced with knockoff. They didn’t even bother or forgot to replace the side vent. God knows what other damage there was.

Yep!

To the CS owners out there, have you made any substantial coding changes to your car? I’m not talking folding mirrors or yellow DRL. I’m wondering more about MDM or DCT or anything else. Is the CS already at a 10 in the important categories so only thing left to do for those that want to is tune?

I went with xHP stage 2. I prefer that to the OEM version. Last M4 tried the GTS flash and still prefer the xHP. For the MDM, the CS is great. Leaps and bounds better than the comp.
