I came out of a 600 hp M6 CP, this car will beat it to the ton and will be incredible on your 'Canyon" roads.
Get it in this colour with the ccb and bingo

Dude!! That is a bad ass looking car. that is the color they are getting at the dealership. the agony

A cool car color with DCT only is just a tease to a 6MT owner

Just a 6MT swap away, just like a Estoril blue E46M with SMG.

The adaptive lights are nice but i wouldn't drive much at night to be honest. I like no exec pack to keep it simpler for track use but think I might really regret not getting HUD. Thoughts appreciated.

We couldn’t spec them over here UK / Ire, they were pre determined spec. All came with HUD. HUD is an absolute must IMO.

That's what I'm thinking - I've driven so many cars without HUD but I use it a lot in my current 17F80.

True story. I've got friends that have done several including E46 ZHP and 540

After I poured over the spec I wanted to order and was just about to pull the trigger my dealer offered me their allocation of a CS. I wanted it but after spending so long pining over a manual car plus I wasn't fussed on the colour of their allocation I decided to stick with my order.
I do think it's a special car, like people have said here it might well be one to enjoy and hang on to.

Also, the perfect wheels on an M3!

Nice but that’s not an M3 CS though. Looks like a Fashion or Nardo Gray M3 ZCP fitted with powder coated 666m wheels.

yes It's nardo based on the custom plate..

I noticed the badge was just standard as well but it sure got me thinking and sent me here. !

The CS models in Grey and blue will be immediately noticeable as such.

I don't know about 20 years, but I think in 10 years a F80 6MT would probably fetch more money than a F80 CS.. assuming equally well maintained.

I had hoped instead of the CS they produced an M3 GT... with some of the plusher seats like in the M5, bit more focus on NVH, better suspension tuning, the engine and exhaust from the CS.... a rear center console/armrest/cup holders

, AND A 6MT.... that, I would pay over $100K for!

As cars approach end of life such as the F8x, you should be getting a higher spec car for less if your are sticking within the same model year.

I moved up from a 16 6MT M4 to an 18 6MT ZCP and paying a good $130 less per month on the same lease terms.

When the new standard M4 comes out w more HP and lower lap times that top the CS, it won't feel great given the CS isn't a huge leap over a standard M4/M4 ZCP.

That said, getting a great deal on a car you didn't lust after is no fun either because it will eat you alive.
