There are a few spiders floating around that are only slightly above MSRP.

Yup, that dealership is in denial...

I think the price point of the CS keeps many owners from enjoying it the way they should. I’m anticipating that we may see more listings soon as the market softens. Wishful thinking maybe, since I’m ready to upgrade from my Comp if the prices drop a bit. But I’m going to drive the hell out of the thing when that happens.

I take issue with your use of the word "upgrade"...

Fixed that for you.

Would you sell your CS for an m3/M5 touring if they returned to the states??? Could be equally as rare.

I have the choice here in Aus already - short answer = no way due to the rarity, size, and transmission of the CS vs the touring. Re the touring as an option to replace the X4, we went with the 23 Macan GTS due to the transmission, sound and price advantage over the M3 touring. The clincher was when we had a loaner M340i touring here from the dealership during a service. Shape did not do it for us like we had expected.

I'm holding onto my CS. Even if my zr1 allocation comes up too soon. I'll pass on the zr1 to keep my CS and pick up a z06 when that allocation comes around. I need everything to come together towards the end of 2025.

Nope, too ugly with the beaver tooth grille. For a wagon I'd take the AMG E63s.

Did you get your GTS already? Mine is off to PPF and tint now.

Totally different market. My CS is a toy. Wagons are for other things

If BMW brings the m5 wagon to this market I will drive it but honestly Mercedes makes a better car in that segment today. I really hope that they don’t kill the v8.

No - only being built this month. Delivery planned for March. It’s been an epic wait.

I thought it was official that the V8 was done after the AMG E63S final edition.

Rumors abound of a v8 hybrid for the E and S classes but that is probably just wishful thinking.

This is in line with the pricing I was expecting after a couple of years. Lower than MSRP, but still holding value relatively well.

It still has a day. I was expecting to come to the listing to see how low it was sold for, but still has some time to gain traction.

They had a M340i touring?
I didn't think that was the case in Aus, but intrigued if so.

You’re right. My bad, it was a M line 330i I think. Regardless, the side and rear profiles were a little too Volvo 1970’s for me

Yes indeed, we get the B58 Touring as well as the S58 M3 Touring

It looks pretty Gangsta to me; each to their own I guess
