If the new C63s would have kept the V8, it'll probably hard to pick between these two cars. But they opted for a 4 cylinder (really!?), for me it's no brainer to pick M3 CS.

[@MilesPerHr]

Same.

[@gaara4667]

i6 or V6 with that hybrid system would’ve been a great car. But went for a 4 cylinder probably for a pointless flex that just blew up in their face. Audi and BMW will be thanking Merc for the new customers.

[@936Holdin]

@@gaara4667Can concur your statement, some of my customers are from Mercedes and it makes selling BMW that much easier. I usually shut up on the test drive and the car will sell itself. M power babyyy💪🏼

[@NXT_LVL]

Its the same BS reasons Porsche took the Flat6 Cayman and swapped it for a Flat4. Same MPGs, Same 0-60 times. It just sounded worse.@@gaara4667

[@frankie_wmg]

​​@@MilesPerHrSo how about it then...all things considered, M3 CS or M5 CS?

[@salmaanbokhari]

My M3CS is arriving at the dealer this week and it is the exact same spec as this video. It will be my daily driver with a new 812 GTS for weekends. The ultimate 2 car garage under a million $ IMO. Watching this makes me want to move back to SoCal tho. Amazing weather and roads.

[@Threat_LvL]

Good to see that people drive there car and not just let them stand around

[@mfujii1318]

did you by chance get a white/gray m3cs, my dealer just got one that a customer bought from california lol

[@mfujii1318]

oh you said exact spec. probably shouldve noted white isnt the same as green lol

[@timmietz]

It looks like you and I have similar taste! My 812GTS is in AZZURO DINO and my M3CS is in Signal Green. Love them both! I do own 30+ other cars though 😂😂😂 my top 3 sedans are the M3CS, Project 8 and CT5 V BW 6MT.

[@danmcgilldm]

​@@timmietz​Don't mind me asking , what do you do for a living ? You must own your own business and it does very well ?

[@cashflowfx.444]

Canyon driving is always my favorite part in your videos. You are a pro Miles! I freaking love the M3 CS🔥

[@javierjavier-ht3yu]

My friend I want to say you that I ´d like how you explain every car and you´re an expert driver.

[@NXT_LVL]

The eye melting hue of the paint offsets the lack of turn signal used.

[@madpistol]

That might be the gaudiest spec M3 I've ever seen. Green + Gold wheels.

[@motofunk1]

The white E36's with the pumpkin leather interior were pretty bad too.

[@dulalg18]

Hi, love watching all your videos! In your opinion would you say the comfort of this or the M4 competition feels better, or are they the same? I am looking forward to purchasing a M4 Competition, but wanted to ask an expert like you for opinion, thank you!

[@MD-tg1cu]

Best review by far on M3 CS ,very well done . I have the M3 Competition and I am definitely upgrading. Thanks for the review.

[@user-ec4hp4nz6y]

Upgrade would be going to Porsche 911

[@rainztk]

Pointless “upgrade” Guess you got money like that lol

[@AllanCuttingedge]

Dunno what BMW is doing, no words, too crazy. Making a 550hp car doing 0-100 / 0-60 in 2.9 and still can have lots of fun with it...

[@myemailiscool]

Knowing BMW, gotta put "550 HP" in quotes, this car is making no less than 600 at the crank with the numbers it puts out IMO

[@gaara4667]

@@myemailiscoolthis makes sense. If it does have 600 hp from the engine then after passing through the drivetrain, transmission etc the power might end up being 550.

[@myemailiscool]

@@gaara4667 ya i've always thought the Germans rate the HP at the wheels when they say what it is, subtracting drivetrain loss. Because that would be quintessential german, giving you the *exact* power you feel when driving haha.

[@octav7438]

**perfectly** german@@myemailiscool

[@Water-ym3ew]

@@myemailiscoolyeah same with all of their inflated 0-60 times it’s what it would be on a roughish normal street plus some extra time to compensate for other real life variables

[@MikaDChef]

Love ur vids MPH keep it up fr

[@MilesPerHr]

Thanks, will do!

[@cjroxo206]

When are you going to do the general test of the Jeep Wrangler Rubicon

[@ryanchan2302]

In addition to the horn test, could you also do engine sound test as well??

[@timmietz]

I could not agree more! I was very pleasantly surprised ones are arrived. I knew it was gonna be good, but I did not realize how good. I am fortunate to own a 2023. 50 JAHRE car and a 2023 CSL, this thing is better than either one of them! To answer your question as to what would be equally as fast or maybe even a little bit faster, that would be a 2019 Project 8. I own both of these cars so I can tell you that Jag’s suspension is more sophisticated than the M3CS, brakes (I have PCCBs on the BMW) are on par, AWD system seems to be more sophisticated on the BMW, fit and finish is definitely better on the BMW. As far as new cars, none of them even come close. The new C63 is a huge disappointment, the RS5 is just not good enough. CT5 V BW is a lot of fun to drive and is in a legal it’s owned because of a manual transmission, but head to head, I think it’s gonna lose to the M3CS (I do own an all option BW too). Do some rap, as a true BMW fan and somebody that owns 12 M cars, I am very happy with this one. This car and the.F87 M2CS are my 2 favorite BMWs since the S54 engined cars!

[@octav7438]

Same here!! The m2 cs f87 has to be one of the greatest cars ever.

[@henryscott4811]

as an owner of a 22 m3cx, I have to say, I'm not wowed by the Harmon kardon sound system and would hope in the future that the top of the line 3 series gets the bowers and wilkins. and for the 130+ that one should expect to get the m3cs for, it should definitely have the bowers and wilkins found in the similarly priced larger m cars.

[@porschebmwchevy654]

Better than JBL found in Ferrari, hk & jbl is same company tho

[@danmcgilldm]

But is the 30k + really worth that over the standard comp? As great as the car is , it seems that little extra is extremely expensive in terms of performance vs $$$.

[@javierjavier-ht3yu]

Miles you´re a very clever man.

[@georgeparaskevopoulos6601]

I would go for the Alfa. It’s one of my favourite sports cars on sale right now.

[@300CME]

Hey Milesperhr could you chose this over your Blackwing?

[@MilesPerHr]

I need to do a direct comparison. Maybe BMW will loan me the car again for that in a couple months! I love my BW's manual and RWD, but the urgency of the M3 CS's movements are really compelling.

[@Ratyz1]

Cool car

[@gabrielneto2430]

That BMW style is stunning! Amazing video again Miles 👍

[@javierjavier-ht3yu]

I´ll wish to drive in a highway like you.

[@user-rv1ot1ch9x]

[@thescavwithnothingtolose1224]

It's an absolute crime that the M3 Touring and its variants aren't brought to the USA.

[@boostandflow4603]

Perfect daily

​@@NXT_LVLu people are so weird its a cars grille. Who cares. U don't look at a ferrari and go thats a gorilla! No.. its a car.

[@dcDOC19]

I’d buy the regular M3 competition and with the extra money saved buy a Rolex Date-just..

[@samiwasti8400]

Great car. I just wish u could get cup holders, a proper center armrest to use while driving, and a leather steering wheel. Who wants to wear gloves every time you’re driving your car.

[@ishangamer8378]

My Dream Car Brooooo!

[@TheOverpowered1]

I think you could dream more , this car isn’t even 200k.

[@TheOverpowered1]

You can do it

[@NyzedOfficial]

@@TheOverpowered1You can’t change peoples dreams

[@RST9413]

when you use worlds like "the best" don t forget cars are made to be used 90% on public roads and this car due to this cool setup for track is not as capable for daily use. SO the best remain on people who put this on track.

[@user-my4xu4gf1z]

Best looking m3 ever

[@NyzedOfficial]

I agree

[@oversteer_9339]

Its so good but that price tho 😬 but if you can afford it, go for it!

[@oversteer_9339]

Please track them if you buy them 😭

[@jingyangli3440]

The only bad thing is probably the rear light. Should’ve gotten a cs style rear light.

[@user-my4xu4gf1z]

CSL style rear lights on this woulda been fire. U can just install them tho or the GTS

[@mji9208]

Better than the CT5 BW ?

[@user-my4xu4gf1z]

Brother a regular m3 or m4 is better then a ct5 blackwing 😂

[@rainztk]

[@user-my4xu4gf1z]

@@rainztk I mean I'm not wrong. The m3 and m4 comp smoke a ct5 blackwing

[@longbeachcarguy]

I’d still go blackwing. Cannot beat unique v8 manual combo. 5, 10 or 15 years from now, nobody will care about M3, CS or not, not the case for ur blackwing

[@turbopickle9720]

The M3 is the reason the black wing exist.

[@octav7438]

You're saying no one will care about a limited edition cs model that would easily smoke your american muscle.... Search up m3 csl price for me real quick.

[@khalid969]

No question mark in the title?

[@MilesPerHr]

Nah. Because for me, without yet doing a direct comparison, it ties my CT5 Blackwing as the best driving sedan on sale.

[@kelvinnyanteh7284]

Door close noise is 🤢🤮🤮

[@catttt5649]

That’s cal the m8 cs is the best

Blackwing for me

[@flsupraguy]

This or blackwing?

[@supremeetnel7707]

That's the question. I'm still thinking about it, to be honest. I love the way they both drive, for different reasons.

[@ryh4141]

Thanks for risking everyones life on the road!

[@gordonmacdonald8812]

Unfortunately M3 CS posts are all academic as you can’t buy one. BMW have sold their full allocation

[@RealNaomiMizushima]

I love this car, hopefully they add 1-8 Radio shortcuts and Climate control Buttons and it would be a world change, and it would be much better to have the center screen as a only screen than the curved one.

[@gabrielneto2430]

In my opinion this screen is bigger than the center ones and it's better because it continues with the speed one, you know?

[@unexpiredbleach9236]

you really just have to see it in person, i own an lci m340 and the screen completely grew on me, I don't think I'd go back to the previous setup (though i haven't owned one with the prev setup)

[@alengreen589]

if you want one in Germany you must pay over $ 170k 😅😅😅

[@NXT_LVL]

Yep and yet everyone in the EU say they'd pay that before buying "an American made POS" lol Yet for the cost of all that CF is "75lbs" worth of savings?

[@Bleakend]

It just crossed 730k USD here in Singapore....

[@glubglubglub732]

Such as?

[@nolen9050]

????? What is

[@NXT_LVL]

As for a "saloon" that would have been the Hellcat Charger. Since thats out of production and Mercedes AMG has nerfed their engine platform, Blackwing done and Caddy going EV, their done fully. But since we're bench racing, dont own or cant afford it to begin with: I'll take a Koenigsegg Gemera.

[@MilesPerHr]

Let's hear 'em

[@MilesPerHr]

😂 Gemera would be mega. Haven't driven it (yet), so I guess I can't make the full claim yet.
