Kind of disappointed that the CS didn't shed any weight but in the grand scheme of things, once an automobile crosses 3,500lbs or so, does a few pounds here and there really matter that much..
Let's get one on an open road or track and seen how it collectively performs and if it's anything like the M4 CS, it will be in good company. At the end of day, that's all that really matters anyways, not some number on a data sheet. |

All these posts from the autoshow and nobody noticed the imperfection in the roof weave!?!?! If this was my car from factory I'd be furious!
Hope the production models don't have this....

I have to say, the 1x1 weave looks pretty bad too. I do understand all BMW roofs are 1x1 and it's probably not that noticeable in real life because it's the roof, but it would be nice if it matched all the other parts.

They prob went for a "Checkered" flag concept. I prefer it match the rest also but It's not terrible in my opinion. I'm sure the production models will not have imperfections and they will go through quality control like any other car.

The only known parts are the adaptive dampers. I can't see how it weighs the same unless the measurement changed in terms of standard equipment. He may just be generalizing, because +/-100 lbs sprung weight is not a lot.

Not sure about the new seats, but certainly the HK stereo being standard now is also adding to the weight, as well as possibly some other comfort features.

Generally, a 2x2 weave is used in part build up (middle layers). A 2x2 weave has slightly higher resin consumption which equals more weight.

I find the CS models interesting.
I view the E46 M3 CSL as the car that these CS cars are based on. That car had no AC standard which would be intolerable to most M3 drivers. Not sure why BMW doesn't go all out and make a CF monocoque and then up the price. That car would be special, cool, and legitimately lighter. Shaving off a couple of lbs here and there on a street car is a mostly pointless exercise that just makes some numbers sound better.

M2 - 1:37:65 12/2016 - Audi TTRS vs BMW M2 M2C - 1:37.56 11/2018 - M4 - 1:37:22 M4 C - 1:36.13 M2C - 1:35.67 ???? M2 CS - 1:34:98 12/2019 M4 CS - 1:34.01 M4 GTS -1:33:17 https://www.bmwblog.com/2019/11/09/b...ts-and-r8-v10/ 25K for 0.7 seconds... I found three tests... I did not find the test indicating the M2 C was just 0.7 back.... perhaps another comparo or a super test? Last edited by M3 Adjuster; 12-02-2019 at 05:58 PM.. |
