Hats off to you Alex, not only the brilliant content on your own channel but still supporting this one. You sir are an inspiration.

We missed you Alex

No we didn't 😂

He’s not gone anywhere 😂

[@tommybronze3451]

Thanks to Autotrader for having Alex on with this car on this specic air field ... gives of strong top gear vibes ... a lot stronger than what current bbc disaster gives of.

[@markusdeep42]

The infotainment of this BMW is mad. Very nice and complete review Alex.

[@atlegangletsoge6165]

Halfway through this video and believe the M3 CS could give the M5 competition a run for its money. Maybe even beat it... But what a beautiful piece of machinery this it. Wonderful😘

[@logical_lb3059]

It already beat it at Nurburgring

[@sompisiphinda1417]

Alex is having so much fun 😅

[@BenGillam]

Good on you for getting Alex on the channel. He's a great personality and nice to see him driving something that isnt a sh**box for once :) - It would be great to see Alex and Rory working together on the channel

[@marvinlopez5217]

Whats Alex own channel?

[@cmc6040]

Class act Mr K. Keep up the good work!

[@mattmopar440]

I feel Alex is our generation Clarkson

[@tommybronze3451]

100% mate! further more he isn’t a carbon copy of clarkson, but gives very similar vibe and I would love to have him and his crew as a new top gear, would be a worthy continuation after imbecile, cpt slow and hamster ! BUT I already know that he isn’t PC enough for current bbc :(

[@logical_lb3059]

Just like clarkson he can’t drive

[@Oversteer]

Good review mate, always enjoyed your videos . I have a cs as well but I feel different about it, I feel that the base is the one to have with bucket seats and manual . It’s also tons cheaper, now if the price is not in the equation then no doubt the CS is the one

[@jamessheehy4895]

Love an alex cameo

[@gavstenhouse8857]

Awesome video and review Alex great to see you doing content for Autocar I was just waiting on Taylor and Rory joining you for some sideways fun 😂

[@benguttridge]

That would have been amazing. Taylor comes sliding in behind in his new alpina 😂👍

[@BOOSTEDDUDE]

That car does look like a heck of a lot of fun! Especially with all those options to adjust the drive modes making the car very flexible.

[@NH00531]

3:27 an M3 with Radio 3 ready to roll, now that’s a sight I didn’t expect to see. 😂

[@danisantabarbara5931]

Great video, Alex is the best, please have him back more often, or hire him or something….

[@OzokuRJS]

He has a contract with autotrader :) he spoke about it on his podcast

[@keithronson2624]

Alex! Alex! Alex! Back on Auto Trader! Thank you the gods! And what a machine for you to test. M3 CS just could be the best M car BMW have ever produced. Puts anything Audi, Merc and even Porsche have to offer. No wonder all sold 'within minutes'. As expected your review full of passion and wit. So good to have you on AT channel. As for the BMW M3 CS...OMG! In a word, INCREDIBLE! Stunning. Thanks Alex! Top Man!

[@michalrajnic758]

There is one for sale in the showroom near me in this same colour priced at around 160k EUR. Lovely colour!

That engine is probably really putting out 600hp+ 🤷🏻‍♂️

yes Alex mate !!

Serious presenter Alex is a joy to watch, but I still love watching him as Shitbox Alex ^^

Good stuff Alex. Will BMW ever make a good looking M car again? The M buttons look like a Baboon’s bottom. The rest of it ….crashed through Halford’s window!

Good review, but then you say " it's the one to have ", but practically nobody in the UK can as all 100 are sold!

Interesting that when you were skidding about, you had every setting in comfort / efficient, and even had the trasmission in D1. Any particular reason why?

[@al1356]

Because he wanted to. He didn’t know that you would be watching just waiting to critique his driving skills and his preferred settings! Get a grip or just ask the question in a less demanding manner 😂

Hang on, ive been begging for Alex and Rory to be on a new version of Top Gear with 1 or 2 others. Are you both on one channel already now? 😮

[@rdvideoclips]

0-60mph with launch control of 3.5 seconds, awesome. However, does anyone ever test these cars 5mph - 60 mph? That is the most useful data. Otherwise launch control is only there to mask the affect of turbo lag, and nobody uses it except car shows, drag strip, and Marketing. So, what is the 5mph -60 mph times? 4.5 seconds, I bet.

[@wesammansour1486]

One of my dream cars!

[@J4NOObs]

i saw this video thinking i want to see some nice drifting but when i saw alex i was like well then thats not guaranteed, the intro shows it

for a grand????? thats a winner

Well, if it’s so desirable, why make it in a limited number?

[@notme9038]

Alex can drift

[@abbasmn]

I think you could be the new Jeremy for petrol heads

[@G82Watts]

This g80 m3 is the best looking m3 bmw has ever accomplished. I use to hate the new grille but now it makes other bmws look old. With a csl grille add on or the other aftermarket options it makes it look super aggressive and head turning on the road. Not to mention the interior with its carrbon fiber bucket seats make it feel like a real race car. I love it.

Car wow has the same car I think with the same number plate

[@mrflippant]

Alright, sure - but what time did it set around the old Top Gear Test Track? I'm going to need a proper lap, with Alex doing a Clarkson impression the whole while. "Nice and tidy 'round Gambon, and ACROSS THE LI-- oh dear, he's crashed!"

[@christopherodonoghue3858]

This car makes much more sense than bmw m4 CSL. Much better balance between practicality and performance where BMW appeals over a Porsche.

[@felixdatche9278]

You were at the legendary Top Gear track but didn't do Gambon run...aaaaarrrrggggghhhh... Let's see your times...

[@lbnewell23]

The problem with the M3 CS is for just a few quid more you can get an M5 CS with a thousand miles on and is an even better car

[@nijabudeenmohammedn5354]

already all sold.M3 is so mimble than m5 so that this is better track sedan

[@lbnewell23]

@@nijabudeenmohammedn5354 that’s why I said used with 1,000 miles which is basically brand new. The m3’s are also already all sold anyway and on the Nurburgring their times are within 1 second of eachother so with the M5’s added luxury looks and sound I’d much rather have that

[@davida7713]
