Some interesting new F87 CS articles.

Road and Track joining the party late:
https://www.roadandtrack.com/reviews...-m2-cs-review/

And this one that's just going to put the cat among the pigeons and provide a contra-perspective on a familiar theme . I think the article misses the point of manuals so don't shoot the messenger...

That color combo is to DIE FOR! I'm not gonna say I made a mistake with my SBM / Black and steel brakes but GOWTDAMN that AW / Matte Gold with CBB Brakes is HOT!

Thanks for posting.

I think it misses the point of both manual and DCT. Strange article! Road and track one was great.

Steel brakes also look good on AW and Gold wheels

I'm glad to see AW featured in these latest articles. I know it's a boring color, but it's an underrated color for the CS since they built them far less than the other colors 91 came to the states I believe from the last I saw the sheet. So glad I chose AW over HS.

Given there were almost 600 cars delivered to US, that makes it 15.5% of the total from four colour options.

I'm guessing the other 10% (from 1/4) were mostly MB

is that an exact number you given right there ?
According to the unofficial tally, which can be found elsewhere on this forum, 589 were delivered to US

I believe 91 AW came in the states, only 11 were in the same specs per the R&T specific car they drove.

a bit of nit picking but when comparing the auto vs manual article for the M2 CS why is the second pic a standard M2. not that difficult to get it right...
