The BMW M3 CS is the Best Driving Sedan You Can Buy (POV Drive Review)

[@stanley2412]

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

[@mfujiii]

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

[@mfujiii]

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🔥

[@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.

[@NXT_LVL]

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

[@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

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

[@NinoPavkovic]

Upgrade would be going to Porsche 911

[@rainztk]

Pointless “upgrade” Guess you got money like that lol

[@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 legit fastest sedan I have owned with a 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.

[@LivinwithPat]

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

[@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

[@ISLAMICSTORIES13]

if HK isnt enough for you then you need to get your ears checked. your going deaf

Thanks, will do!

[@wisruteb]

Having driven the M3CS briefly on track back to back vs M4 Comp, I can confirm that the premium is well worth it. It’s like an M car on top of an M car.

[@WilumSorensen]

I domt know about you guys but im taking this over a m5cs any day

[@thescavwithnothingtolose1224]

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

[@NyzedOfficial]

I agree

[@javierjavier-ht3yu]

Miles you´re a very clever man.

[@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.

[@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 $$$.

[@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!

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

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

[@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.

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)
