"After the brilliant M2 and M5 CS, last year’s M4 CSL promised greatness but ultimately failed to live up to the sum of its parts, the CSL treatment injecting compromise rather than engagement and thrills. The M3 CS is the polar opposite, with an approach that, like its cousins that have undergone a similar CS transformation, results in one of the most resolved and exciting cars of its type."


I can only bow humble to such an epic performance. A show of excellent vehicle dynamics, well done BMW!

This is impossible because their test car had Pzeros on it!

Does anyone think there will be an Evo video review?

I drove my CS and CSL back to back last night. The CSL is a more raw and special feeling car while the CS is a car you can use as a daily driver (as I do). What’s interesting is that I only ever drive the CSL in manual mode but the CS usually is usually left in auto. The CS shifts in manual feel clumsy and less precise by comparison - I attribute that to the extra vehicle mass/inertia and possibly an effect created by the AWD system.

Great feedback buddy! Somebody asked me yesterday if the CSL is the best car I’ve owned. I said that it is definitely one of my favourite cars. It feels genuinely special when you’re goofing around with everything turned up to the max. All of my non-car mates think it’s super cool. But my 997.1 GT3 probably edges it for enjoyment just because it was a manual and naturally aspirated (the noise). But if it was just about the handling, the CSL would win, I reckon! It’s an exciting car to drive all of the time!

It’s good to know the M3 CS is getting these raving reviews.

It seems like BMW didn’t over do it and found the perfect balance with this car.

It seems like the M3CS is going to be considered as special as the F90 CS and they will both cement their place in M history in due time.

We could be on to a keeper here
