First review that doesn't complain about the lack of sound. Cheers |

Kind of strange for them to not reference the M3/M4CS hp when making this statement?
Here, the strategy yields a small coupe with 444 horsepower and 406 pound-feet of torque from its twin-turbocharged 3.0-liter straight-six engine. While the CS borrows the S55 mill from the M3/M4 and shares it with the M2 Competition, it outguns both – the bye-gone M4 packs 425 hp and 406 lb-ft of torque, while the lesser M2 nets 405 hp and 406 lb-ft. In other words, this is as powerful as a small BMW can get until the next M3 and M4 arrive. Also, pointing to a 2018 article about an M2 CSL? Seems like sloppy reporting to not know what the latest is on that... Last edited by M3tallicar; 10-30-2020 at 04:35 PM.. |

Agree Dave, I (arbitrarily) set as a goal keeping the off-the-lot price (destination, taxes, etc.) to <$90K and happily was able to do so. No interest in DCT, and after consideration decided against CCB as something fun to investigate as a future upgrade. 80-something seems a far cry from close to $100K. Only costed option was the MB paint (ridiculous, but anyway).

yup. Planning full PPF and tint here, too. Will be keeping the car outdoor (looking into carport like options, but may simply be a shade tree). Budgeting another $10K for all of that. $100K total is in the budget.

Motor1 scrapes into my feed for news and generally speaking its rumor mill and poor reporting in favor of clickbait and sensational headlines. They get decent spy shots, but I've seen little else to back up their reporting over their years. So while excited to see North American reviews start, not really the source I'd take much stock in. The last paragraph was almost all garbage!

I think they are also the source of the s58 DCT Supra rumor.

......."That stiff suspension is a joy through corners, where it exhibits precise control over body motions. The steering reminded me of BMWs of old – lots of weight, a linear character from on-center to full lock, and a slight numbness. The chassis, though, makes up for the steering's lack of chatter, with the little sensations from the tires finding their way to the driver's backside"........
I like it already!

Agreed with you all about everything... Motor 1 it's a good all news hub, but is lacking on the reviews. They tried to keep it short and simple but don't manage to make the verdict clear. Maybe it's because it's a first drive? And wet track?
At least I'm excited to know that the lack of filters does make the difference in the CS exhaust over the competition. |
