BMW M3 CS REVIEW *ULTIMATE M3 Joe Achilles

[@JoeAchilles1]

BMW UK Invited me out to the Nurburgring 24 hour race, they gave me a F90 M5 to drive out there (video coming soon), I swapped that with this stunning M3 CS whilst at the N24, I liked it, I liked it a lot! The BMW M3 CS might cost £86k, but I struggle to think of many sub £90k cars that offer the same complete package! Please Share this video if you enjoyed it, every view helps me build my channel and access more cars... Thanks to everyone who took time to watch this.

[@markrhoden68]

Nice video. I wonder how it compares to the Audi RS3 saloon?

[@JoeAchilles1]

Cheers man! The RS3 (Hatch or Saloon) is a great package and not much slower, but doesn't come even close to how involving this car is, completely different level

[@markrhoden68]

Joe Achilles WOW it must be great then. I just can't imagine how many cars can top the RS3 what with it's four wheel drive system. I wonder will this be the last M3 we see with rear drive

[@hanihoho2485]

Mark Rhoden Tesla Model 3 will, 15% quicker and better handling than the m3.

[@markrhoden68]

Haniho Ho really wow, if only it sounded and looked the part

[@rejoicerone3176]

The production quality just went up to 11!

[@JoeAchilles1]

Haha thanks buddy, Robert is a genius!

[@romano11j]

Joe, help: I am toying with the idea of upgrading my current m3 comp (F80) for an m3 CS (F80). Is the new m3 you got (G80) as good as the old CS? Must confess, I’m struggling to get my head around how the front of the new one looks… cheers. Rom

[@emersonvarley5069]

Great vid. Take not shmee150. How to review a car without sounding like your about to piss your pants.

[@AliveGhost13]

Videography on point Joe

[@bulentcyprus9300]

Hi Joe. Great vid again. Is it possible to have the cs wheel and tyre setup put on m4 comp? Would it upset the normal setup and handling ? And can 35/35 profiles be put all around as roads here are bumpy. Please this is important. Thank you . Carry on with Great BMW vids please.

[@bjosef9291]

Awesome video, enjoyed it. I love the M3CS looks amazing, just wish it had the rear OLED taillights but I guess who cares when you’re in the drivers seat enjoying the amazing drive! 👍🏼

[@JoeAchilles1]

Cheers buddy! Yeah only noticed lack of OLED once I was home 😂

[@bjosef9291]

Joe Achilles I guess that’s why it’s slightly cheaper than the M4CS, still wouldn’t put me off buying one as they look awesome. Main thing is the carbon bonnet still on there 😃👍🏼

[@TomPeacock]

Well done mate another brilliant video. I want to see some videos and tests where you pitch your M140i Achilles edition against as many M cars as possible. I can't imagine the difference would justify £50k+ difference. Keep it coming MAN LIKE JOE!

[@JoeAchilles1]

Cheers buddy! Yeah plenty on M140 videos to come soon mate, great idea re pitching against all M cars 👌

[@heelandtoe_]

Great review man, really enjoyed hearing your opinion on the car. Putting this up with the GT4 is quite a statement and I couldn't agree more with you! As always was huge fun hanging out with you and making the video - thanks for the massive shoutout!

[@JoeAchilles1]

HeelandToe.Blog Thanks buddy, you were responsible for 50% of this video 👌👊😘

[@svo7563]

Pfffft this makes me want to go bankrupt

[@thamilawrence8468]

Great video. Any plans of driving an M2 CP anytime soon? I would like to know what you think of it. We love you and support you here in South Africa Joe and well done on your M140i as well.

[@JoeAchilles1]

Thank you! I would love to drive the M2 comp, but looks like I've missed the press launch list 😏

[@Shmarc150]

Then just drive mine...

[@MotechPerformance]

Wow what a car .. ! Defo in the top 5 BMW’s of all 👌🏼

[@HarkamalAujla]

Ur voice is makes it so clear. Seriously enjoy . Plus this video is next level

[@Fuursie]

Tell you a secret? I'm getting mine on monday........ tell you another secret? I have never been more excited in my fu**ing life!

[@JoeAchilles1]

Tell you a secret... I'm bloody jelous 😱👌

[@DiiZeh_]

Love the intro! Those roads look absolutely stunning!😍 Great video!👍🏻

[@LivingLifeFastLLF]

🤘🏾👌🏾👊🏾

[@jalloor]

LivingLifeFast waiting for your video and review.

[@JoeAchilles1]

LivingLifeFast Thanks legend 👊👊

[@RawwUnderGround]

LivingLifeFast yes yes Man like Ricky this mad man drives like you too fam

[@markedward9294]

LLF love your videos. Used to drive an M4 but now have a Tesla MS100D and MX100D. I live near Birmingham if you ever fancy doing a quick video of them?

[@ardalanshabestari3437]

My man ricky 🙌🏽

[@dennis3753]

The way that thing takes corners is insane

[@JoeAchilles1]

Incredible car 👌

[@paulgreenhill8368]

Hi Joe this must be the best BMW on sale at the moment. I think the M3 has much better proportions than the M4, with the wheels filling out the arches better, just as I prefer my 5 door M140 to the 3 door. Great driving too, looked like a lot of fun

[@JoeAchilles1]

Thanks Paul, yeah M3 over the M4 for me everyday! Also 5 door M140 over the 3dr :-)

[@Gentlemen_london_]

Superb review mate 👏 absolute weapon 🔥🙌👍

[@oiko73]

4 seconds into the video and I click thumbs up. That is some stunning quality content.

[@JoeAchilles1]

Haha thank you!

[@Adam-M1]

I did the exact same. Stunning video.

[@AlexOliver555]

The want for this car is unreal! Especially in this Frozen San Marino blue.

[@stefanmolnar4345]

Specially now when we saw the bew m3 this car is just perfect and a grear value also. Its beautifull . :)

[@CarObsession]

Loving the drone shots in this video Joe!

[@abdullahseedat4840]

This car is so sweet

[@dennygamble4520]

Thanks. I have Cup 2’s on my M4 now and don’t know if the CS would be worth the money. Is it a huge difference from a regular M4?

[@rustystuff]

Epic video as usual mate. Been looking at these on Auto Trader and you can pick them up with low mileage for around £67k now.

[@shizc2994]

Dam Joe back at it again with the epic reviews! The M3 CS is more better looking then the M4 CS!

[@JoeAchilles1]

Cheers and I agree, M3 over M4 everyday!

[@markonasteski9207]

Looks good makes no sense a m3 cs 🤷‍♂️

[@dennygamble4520]

Besides the tires, Could you tell a difference between the M4 and M3’s CS? Does the M4 feel lighter. Have you driven an M4 GTS? How does it compare to that? I am looking for something more hardcore than my M4 that I can still keep the backseats or may get a GTS and an E46 M3. I had a GT4 but had to sell it . Now I want another track car.

[@JoeAchilles1]

I would estimate the M3 CS and M4 CS would feel almost identical with Cup 2's fitted, although the 4 door always feels like a stiffer chassis. I have driven a GTS on track only, great car but far too still suspension for British roads, the CS has the most incredible ride for everyday duties

[@thefridgeman]

I love me CS. Also bought Cup 2s. Can't wait to get them on. 20°C or higher already happening outside. The Super Sport are nice too, but the front is 1cm narrower (255 only, vs 265 for Cup 2) and the rear gets sometimes violently unstuck, out of nowhere. It sticks back again, almost instantly, but that half a meter sideways move while taking a 90° highway exit is pretty exciting (not). And I don't drive a lot in the rain, so no need for wet grip. And you are right...the sound is amazing. Mine is still low mileage, so the exhaust is not yet "burned through", but even so..man...even at idle...I almost forget to park the car in the garage sometimes. I open the garage door and get stuck behind the car, listening to the exhaust at idle.

[@carmasterz9733]

Hi Joe, truly awesome video! Can you please tell us which engine mode were you in while driving the backroads? Thanks much appreciated !

[@JamesDartnell]

What a truely excellent and bulletproof video, a few of the best parts of it of many, are the intro -- no bullshit, just straight into the topic at hand, no need to skip 1/4 of the "video". No over the top behaviour or shouting to try and seem "exciting", getting to hear the bloody car in the specific segements alloted for it, the way the parts are stitched together based upon your driving and turns is perfect haha - literally turning the car into the next part(lane) of the video. I think the only thing I could mention was something you probably already know now which is that the mic seemed like it was lacking filtering or so? Also is there quite a bit more cabin noise in that car? Would be curious to know the negatives of the car too. Finally, 2 other things that I think would be interesting to see 1) Outtakes 2) the unedited/extended view of you just driving, perhaps to give the option of being able to pick to get the in-cabin view of you driving the roads when we want it, or outside etc (example of this, I'd quite like to go and view the in-cabin view of you going round the corner and just as it slides its tail out) :D TL;DR Awesome as hell video again as is the common theme now but not only that raising the bar upon yourself yet again, well done dude, mega proud to see you making it and getting what you deserve at last! Look forward to grabbing a pint sometime :D

[@JoeAchilles1]

Cheers James, big compliments my friend! I will post a pure driving video soon, good idea! See you soon man

[@BimmerTV]

Drone shots look wicked Joe! Beautiful M car! Sounds amazing too!

[@edwardkondek2548]

Great video joe doesn’t get any better than driving German roads greetings from usa

[@JoeAchilles1]

Cheers Edward, thank from support from over the pond :-)

[@bmwm-power4358]

Great review and video was like movie first class keep me wanting more off that cs great car think it's worth every panny nice job joe😎

[@JoeAchilles1]

Thanks Robert, glad you enjoyed it!

[@aidenp5768]

I expect a lot of views on this the first actual video on this specific car.

[@JoeAchilles1]

Let's hope so 👌

[@StefABtv]

*fantastic video mate! Loved the intro!! Great edit, great car!*

[@JoeAchilles1]

Cheers buddy, glad you liked it!

[@TheBTRGarage]

Amazing car, great review. Loving the new edits with the drone footage, I need to get me one of those!

[@JoeAchilles1]

Thank you!

[@ivydjm8939]

I crashed my beloved 500 Abarth and now I have an M235i. I hate it that I can’t enjoy it without massively exceeding the speed limit. FML, Joe!

[@bertraminc9412]

You’re the second guy to state that this car comes with Cup 2 tires. Unfortunately, here in the USA, BMW USA has decided to skimp on the tires and I have not seen one car with Cup 2’s. I’ve seen five M3 CS at three different dealers and none of them are wearing these great tires. A cheap move by BMW USA.

Wow! What a road! What a car!!!This is the one for me...even the color is perfect!

[@seanhallsor4313]

i have just got the m4 cs 62 k 3000 miles ex demo with all the extras and ceramic brakes it was 99 k new i have not been able to drive it proper yet still waiting for a dry day is it better than a cayman 718 gts ? my previous car ?

[@DienekesShade]

Great footage. Thank you 👍😊👌

[@user-wg4hz3bk4f]

Very well done, you make it about the car, not your own voice. Thumbs up and subbed!

[@JoeAchilles1]

Free Headbutts Thank you

[@SidNorth]

Brilliantly detailed video Joe! 🙌🏽. Love the look of the M3 CS. It looks less of a handful too. But that price tag 😬!

[@SidNorth]

Btw awesome edit 🙌🏽. Thoroughly enjoyed video 👌🏽👌🏽

[@JoeAchilles1]

Thanks buddy, yeah night and day better car on the limit compared to a stock M3 ;-) Although not such a Sideways (Sid) car

[@fulaan1]

Engine sounds pretty good.

[@_danieljr]

Damn 😍😍😍

[@AM-fl4uo]

This was the first video I’ve watched from your channel, and I have to say I’m impressed with the quality. More specifically the angles of the shots and the knowledge of the reviewed car and other cars you mentioned

[@chiliconnection1]

funny is, i bougt one, your video is 12:13 min,and my numbers on my License platt is 1213:).Best vid of the cs

[@danielzychniewicz2633]

beautiful car and color ✌👌👍

[@b4bmm]

Top 3 as per May 2018 - M3 CS, Cayman GT4 and AMG GTR. Has that changed after two years?

[@richardpardo8827]

Awesome video and awesome car ! Great work as always ✌🏻😎

[@tomisherwood7753]

Bang on Joe !, I hit like first on all your vlogs as always a guaranteed watch

[@Mrrlamb1]

Lovely car... great review--I really wish they would ditch the back doors on all M cars

[@JoeAchilles1]

Thank you!

[@Gary_S]

Videogame - 10/10. Excellent work Joe :)

[@JoeAchilles1]

Haha Thanks Gary :-)

[@chriscorcoran7690]

Smashed it Joe 🤜🏼 cracking video

[@scuddryvr8784]

My Limerock Grey CS is currently sitting in Bremerhaven waiting to be loaded on the ship!

[@tahag2107]

Joe probably the best review of the m3 cs around. Can someone tell me why journo’s almost completely ignored this car ? Autocar, evo, PistonHeads, drivetribe, top gear, the list goes on. Has to be one the most underrated car of your generation! A 4 door saloon with Gt3 performance in the real world

[@JoeAchilles1]

Thank you 🙏 No idea why others didn't get too excited about the CS, personally I still think it's one of the greatest modern cars around. The last time I felt that connected to a modern car was with the brilliant 981 Cayman GT4 👌

[@tahag2107]

Joe Achilles I’m in the privileged position of being able to purchase a second hand m3 cs, or the option being a gt4. They’re similarly priced here in Australia- gt4 slightly dearer, but as a pure balls out drivers car- which would be your pick in my position?

[@tahag2107]

I do love both. They have their each individual merits, gt4 arguably a little more involving due the the 3 pedals- m3 cs possibly more rapid and broader in its breadth of abilities. Not to mention I rekn it’s the last proper m3, with word of a hybrid 4wd in the pipeline- tough one

[@JC-qf1jd]

I can't believe I've only just watched this video. Ive got a nardo grey 2018 m4 comp pack which I love, so I loved your M4 CS video, but this...this is just awesome Joe. Top marks. Great cinematography too!

[@cdpower123]

Great vid, 👍 Keep these great honest reviews going. Petrolhead heaven...

[@mr.revmatch]

Great and honest review like always! Really like the details on this M3! 👌😍

[@darrenparry2891]

Great video Joe, awesome drone shots from @heelandtoeblog too

[@JoeAchilles1]

Cheers Darren, yeah Rob is a legend!

[@nasirshal7633]

I don't care what people think. I love this car period

[@JoeAchilles1]

[@MrWhiteguy6]

2 minutes in to a Joe Achilles video and we're talking about tyres again haha! no hate Joe, I love your videos :)

[@JoeAchilles1]

Haha I have a slight tyre obsession. Cheers

[@NICKFOXTV]

Really nicely done mate, videos are getting better and better all the time, what a lovely motor too 👌🏻

[@JoeAchilles1]

Cheers Nick! Hope you're well mate

[@mgcharoudin]

Where is me talking about the car?

[@JoeAchilles1]

What... Did we film something I didn't know about 🤔

[@mgcharoudin]

Joe Achilles yes, when we were waiting for you at the chopper shuttle :p I filmed with your cam while you were away

[@JoeAchilles1]

Ohh shit I never even saw that clip!!! I'm doing another M3 CS video soon, will use that clip then mate 😂

[@buldhana]

Hey Bro I'm coming to germany in September. Can I rent an M3 to go around the Nurburgring from you??

[@carl9184]

Looks a cracking car Joe. I can only dream of owning this beast. Top review again👍

[@duckie250]

Nice video, nice guy, nice car! What's the music used in the intro? Top notch!

[@myporscheadventures]

Thank you, glad you enjoyed it 👊

[@quanbaldwin3610]

Joe best video yet I truly felt like I was in the car with you bigup to the cameraman I'm talking literally tunnel vision awesome awesome video keep doing what you do and be safe brethren

[@davetomley3145]

Another great review Joe. Can't believe that you are only at 32k subscribers, but judging by the views we're a loyal bunch. The sooner you can do this full time the better. Good luck

[@JoeAchilles1]

Cheers Dave! Yeah it's a hard job trying to build subscribers, but as you say, the 32k I do have are awesome!

[@simonnelson7770]

Joe what you and Robert have produced there is exceptional, your content is great, very knowledgeable, interesting and passionate and the cinematography is just brilliant👌 Can't wait for the next one

[@JoeAchilles1]

Ahh thanks Simon! Roberts work is genius, I was very lucky to have him help me :-)

[@dickie8184]

Great camera work on this Joe.

[@strongerandwiser2023]

Love the fact that you have more than 10k more subs that Seen through Glass hahaha! Brilliant that mate! Keep up the good work dude!

[@davetowse4071]

Quality video Joe, up to a new level with some great footage. Cheers...

[@charliemarris7953]

International manufacture launch advert spec intro there joe. Great content dude. 👏

[@itimis7805]

Just lovely ! Your channel has grown up so much; I remember the first video I saw of you driving a 525d F11 Xdrive on some mountain passes, subscribed from then and now you're making insane quality video like this one. It's a joy watching them. Keep it up Joe ! ;)

[@JoeAchilles1]

Thank you! Really appreciate your long term support, that 525d seems like another lifetime ago :-)

[@MilesDrive]

absolute top vid, Joe👌 Looks an amazing car.... I like the colour too💙

[@JoeAchilles1]

Cheers buddy glad you liked it!

[@DrKampfpudding]

Second to comment . first to say what a nice car

[@delboy2596]

I still think the coupe looks better. And if the Cup2's are that good i'd stick a set on a regular M car and save a good few shillings. Love the wheels though. Much nicer than 666's.

[@emmanuelavgoustakis4863]

Del Johnson no way m3’s rear looks wider do to the rear quarts bulging out

[@AC-130....]

Lets just take a moment and commend the videography because its really good, Very professional and fluid. Well done!

[@JoeAchilles1]

Thank you very much 👌

[@simonlevy6503]

Can I ask what roads you were driving on esp around 5:30 mark? Looks great. Great video. I have the M4 CS. Great car but still not sure the price tag was value for money.

[@JoeAchilles1]

Cheers! The fun roads were around 30 mins from the Nurburgring

[@reset1101]

Some say he tried to marry a BMW once. All we know is... hes called Joe Achilles :p. Nice video m8!

[@JoeAchilles1]

Hahaha brilliant! Cheers

[@SILKY_999]

That car is beautiful the colour is just amazing great review joe and your driving skills in this video are just epic mate 👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼

[@JoeAchilles1]

Thank you :-)

[@TheMBCreative]

Your best one till now Joe!! Really enjoyed it a lot. I just recently drove an standard f80 and felt like it lacked some Emotion that I feel the CS (or even the CP) could provide.

[@JoeAchilles1]

Yeah best F80 M car I've driven by miles (M4 CS would have been the same with Cup 2's). Cheers

[@andyboltongroup874]

Love the video which is your favourite the M4 CS or the M3CS ????

[@JoeAchilles1]

Thank you! I prefer the M3 because it's cheaper and to me looks better with wider rear arches... Also love fast 4/5 door cars over their Coupe equivalent.

[@milosjovanovic7381]

What does CS stand for, and whats the difference between CS and non CS.

[@MikeR196]

What location did you films this? Those twisty roads man

[@thaalrasha]

Loved your review. I value your opinion more than most reviewer, we can see you really push the car also :)

[@JoeAchilles1]

Great to hear thank you :-)

[@nicholasswithenbank8645]

Yes Joe 😍

[@charliesimpson598]

Smashed it, the level of quality of the video is a step up and the car is something special . Can’t wait for upcoming m140i videos.👍👍

[@JoeAchilles1]

Thank you!

[@olliemillward2614]

Brilliant video Joe, what a car !

[@apocreg11]

Some great shots in this video Joe! Can’t be long until your channel takes off to new levels

[@guilhermelima8034]

Joe, your slides were done with DSC off or MDM mode?

[@chrishunt112]

Great filming, great description. Well done Joe
