Just some things on the top of my head.
Coming from the pre lci M5C the suspension was harder even in comfort mode than in the CS. The CS in terms of ride quality is actually more comfortable with the bumps even in sport + yet taking the corners it is also more stable. The steering feel is also improved. I think the reduction in weight might have something to do with that, but I have also heard the Lci suspension in the F90 handles the bumps much better than the pre Lci.
Besides that the alcantara steering wheel and the carbon bucket seats really give the car a very improved feeling while driving. I know it may sound like such a small simple thing but it surprisingly improves the full experience while driving. I talked earlier about how comfortable these seats are because they really are. Mind you I haven't driven for hours in them but I'm very happy with the support of the seats. Apart from getting in and out but even that I'm getting used to already.
The steering wheel also feels thinner than the leather one on my previous F90 and it feels more premium. I prefer the smaller size but that's subjective. I haven't pushed the car too much to talk about the performance so this is just preliminary how it feels until I pass break-in. The leather quality is also very good. Not much about technology as the CS drops some of the technology options to save weight. But anyway overall it's been a joy.
